There's a song by the Electric Light Orchestra that I need the title of. At the beginning it has a bunch of backward stuff and the actual musical part of the song sounds (to me, anyway) like an amalgam of stuff that could have been written by three or four different other groups. Oh, and it's an instrumental, so there aren't any identifying lyrics (except the people in the background during the first section chanting "Hallelujah" from Handel's Messiah (that was Handel, wasn't it?)).

Can anyone help?

And, naturally, right after posting this, I seem to have found the answer...

Can anyone verify that the song I described above is "Fire on High"? I saw something suggesting thus, but I can't seem to find the song online anywhere so I can hear for myself...

Okay, nevermind. I've confirmed that "Fire on High" is, in fact, the song I was looking for.

Hmm. Considering I like ELO, I know nothing about their music apart from the hits. . .
