ELO's Jeff Lynne: My Life in 15 Songs
This was worth reading just for finding out that that word in "Don't Bring Me Down" is "groose." I lookt in the liner notes for the CD re-issue (I'd forgotten that the lyrics are printed in it!) and discovered that there it's rendered as "grrroosss." The engineer Lynne cites is correct that it means "greetings" in German, although in German it's spelt as "Gruß."
