42: It's All Doing What You Gotta Do

42. "(Ocean Breakup)/King of the Universe" by Electric Light Orchestra [Video: Not exactly, but there is this: King of the Universe (Live).] 

Yes, it's back! It's the return of the belly-button album!

Seven men. Seven belly buttons.

I know I've already commented about this album cover. But, since this is the last song from this album on the list, I couldn't pass up one last chance to visit it. Because it's seven grown men, showing their belly buttons. (I especially like how Richard Tandy and Bev Bevan don't really have to adjust their shirts at all.)

"On the Third Day" is one of my favorite albums, and it starts off with this song. There's the instrumental "Ocean Breakup" part, which brings to mind the ocean waves crashing into the rocky shore. 

In the middle of the song, there is a part where Jeff Lynne is just singing, "Ah, ah," but he's doing so in a very floaty-flying kind of way that I like so much. 

It's an excellent early ELO song.

Maybe ELO were just big fans of Barbara Eden?
