“Xanadu” was written and produced by Jeff Lynne specifically for the 1980 musical fantasy film Xanadu. Performed by Olivia Newton-John with the Electric Light Orchestra, the song was recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, with Olivia providing the lead vocals and ELO contributing the instrumentation and backing vocals.
Released in 1980, “Xanadu” became a major international hit, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also topped the charts in several European countries and became the only UK No. 1 credited to ELO. The film's dance sequences had already been shot to an earlier demo of the song. When ELO recorded the final version, they had to match the demo's tempo so the finished recording would synchronise with the footage, giving the song its slightly unusual rhythmic feel.
It’s 36 years to the day since Paul Gascoigne continued to be in the form of his life after the World Cup, scoring 4 times against Hartlepool in the Rumbelows Cup.
This individual goal was the pick of the bunch.
Gazza was simply unplayable at this point.
This literally made me laugh out loud. Belly laugh. 😆🤣👌👏

💔Oscar’s story 💛
💙 Oscar is 25 & has spent 23 years in our care. We rescued him after he was abandoned, beaten & ridden by three youths at once.
🫶 Today he’s safe, loved & enjoying the simple things—like his mineral block. 🫵This is the difference your support makes. 🙏👏😊
