I loved the ELO's 10538 when I was young and I still play it occasionally today. For some of us, it's an amazing racket, a stunning cacophony, and an incredible song, but sadly they never made anything else quite like it.

One guy on YouTube said it has one of the best intos ever, but I said it also has one of the best endings ever, which sounds like some massive grandfather clock grinding to a halt.

The first video is the song itself, which is even crazier than the song, but the second video is about how they made it. Jeff Lynne, the guitarist and singer, wrote the song, but Roy Wood, a multi-instrumentalist, added the cellos, violins, and French Horn, as well as  recording and producing it. In that way, it's the creation of both of them.
