Livin' Thing - The Beautiful South

Here it is-the number 1 'Guilty Pleasure' single of all time, according to Q Magazine. And here I thought such a title would involve Michael Jackson in some way. In 1976, Electric Light Orchestra released the platinum-selling album, 'A New World Record', and 'Livin' Thing' was released as a single late in the year. It reached number 4 on the UK charts, number 4 on the Canadian singles charts, and number 13 on the US singles charts over the Christmas period.

 

The Beautiful South released an album of covers in 2004 entitled 'Golddiggas, Headnodders and Pholk Songs'. This was one of three singles released from the album, and it reached number 24 on the UK charts, also late in the year.
