Working so hard baby, working all night and day.
Sometimes I feel like getting blind and jumping in the bay.
I was going to offer an unclaimable $100 reward to anyone who can find an example of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) performing the following, either in studio or live. I witnessed someone close succumbing to cognitive dissonance, in real time, while listening to the following.
I searched myself, a few times, and just conceived of asking googly-eyed AI a query
me:
Did Electric Light Orchestra ever perform the song Blinded By the Light, in either the studio or a live performance that has been released?
aye eye:
AI Overview

The song was written and originally performed by Bruce Springsteen, and later became a hit for Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

You know that I know that you know that I know.
I believed that once.
Don't believe much, currently.
Can't just be the "Light" crossover, aye, instigating false memories?
I won't revisit, at risk of offending.
Shut up and play.
Found some redddit rationalizations for the alleged madness of crowds proliferation of this false memory (lead singers sound alike, word bs) but changed my mind. Song is fucking long when you have to keep restarting it.
