Song Of The Year

Here Is The News

by

Electric Light Orchestra

1981

I chose this song as the song of the year for 2011 because of all the news stories this year. For example, the Lunar Eclipse, the Japan Earthquake, the Casey Anthony Trial, the Killing of Osama Bin Laden, and the President's address to Congress.

Here is the news,

Coming to you every hour on the hour

Here is the news,

The weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower.

Here is the news,

A cure's been found for good old rocket lag,

Here is the news,

Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag.

{Space workers dispute in London today

a lightning strike by air shuttle officers

led to over 2,000 passengers being held up

for up to 10 hours to board flights}

{10 Euro technicians were today sentenced

by the justice computer to banished for life

to the Prison Satellite Penal 1}

Here is the news,another action filled adventure,

Here is the news,

All the worst from the world convention.

{Shares of Roboko development are now climbing

A very great freind of mine

Our regular schedueled programs

The latest report from the people down there

A tiny little detail

Here is the news,

Here is the news

I wanna go back

Here is the news,

Somebody has broken out of Satellite 2,

Here is the news,look very carefully it may be you.
