![]() Esskayess from Dallas, TxOnly pop soundtrack I can think of that charted at or near #1 all over the world, while its movie was a mega-bomb.Esskayess from Dallas, TxAnyone else notice the similarity of the percussion and string riffs in this song to those near of the end of 'Mr.Titan from Adelaide, South AustraliaIn the late 60s there was a song called 'The Legend of Xanadu' by a bunch of guys named Dave, Dee, Dozy, Mick & Titch which was a bit of a novelty song which made it all the way to No.1 in the UK, then ONJ and ELO hit No.1 in 1980 with Xanadu, making a success rate of 100% of songs with Xanadu in the title getting to No.1, in the UK art least.And the soundtrack is AWESOME!!! I NEVER get tired of watching Xanadu!!! Sincerely, Lynn Brooks This movie was and still is the best movie that was ever made!!! I got goosebumps the very first time I watched it. Lynn Brooks from Purvis, Ms 39475Xanadu, is a beautiful, magical, love story.Scoobydooby68 from ManchesterJust what are you smoking Lynn ! ?.Nevertheless, it is a guilty pleasure, Olivia sings her sweet little heart out, Gene dances up a storm, ELO rocks out, and it's all now an interesting historical period piece with a modern-day cult following. The whole thing plays like it was built by sugar-hyped six-year-olds who couldn't resist gluing on "one more cool thing," whether it fit or not. Key words from above point: "slapped together." Including one each of every kind of music genre. It was basically just thrown in for the sole purpose of Universal thumbing their nose at Disney. The studio executives made boneheaded decisions slapping this together, like with the animated sequence in the middle which just confused the bejabbers out of everybody. It was the dawn of the '80s Reagan was in office and people wanted either hard sci-fi or down-home country folk, and it was time for heavy metal and greed. It's basically a roller-disco fantasy made at a time when (a) disco, (b) roller-skating, and (c) fantasy all became as dead as fried chicken. And there's no way Xanadu would have outsold The Force, even with dialogue by Shakespeare. They blew $20 million cool ones on the budget for this in 1980! Consider that Star Wars, released just three years previously, had a budget of $11 million. The concept, story, and overall dialog is pathetic, even though everything else is great.
