Mike,
If you liked ELO, are you aware of The Move?
They did the orginal "Do Ya". And since Roy Wood contributed to that recording of it WITH Jeff Lynn, I prefer it to the later ELO version.
Seems like Black Oak Arkansas opened for just about everyone back in the day.
The main reason I was posting is because I just think these are cool lyrics.
The song is Blazing Apostles from Sunburst Finish by Bee Bop Deluxe.
"Death drives an Airflow Chrysler on the streets of man
A hit and run driver cruising since the world began"

And you can see The Move and some Bee Bop Deluxe on Youtube.
Just type in The Move and Do Ya. Then go from there.
Oh, I almost missed this play on words:
These Are The Words Of Aaron by The Move.
