119: Ride the Range All the Day

119. "Wild West Hero" by Electric Light Orchestra [iTunes? Yes] {Video: Wild West Hero. (I doubt you needed it, but here is visual proof that afros and cowboy hats don't mix.)}

"Ride the range all the day, 'til the first fading light. Be with my western girl 'round the fire, oh so bright. I'd be the Indians' friend, let them live to be free. Riding into the sunset, I wish I could be."

This is a great song from the "Out of the Blue" album. I especially like the old-timey western piano interlude, and the guitar interlude.

Although, I'm not really sure how this songs fits in with the spaceship motif of the "Out of the Blue" album. One of the best album covers ever! Yes, I had the poster up on my wall. I think it was the only poster I had on my wall as a kid. It was an awesome poster! (Although, if it had been up to me I probably would have preferred the Cheryl Tiegs pink bikini poster. I don't think mom or dad would have approved.)

Space. The final frontier.
