Xanadu | Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly's '80s/'40s Hybrid E.L.O. Roller Disco

I accidentally came across a Music Video titled "Xanadu"... Some of you might remember a song or motion picture of the same name... I bring you a great rendition of Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John & Gene Kelly's '80s/'40s Hybrid E.L.O. Roller Disco...

But Before I wrap up this Post, here is some interesting information about "Xanadu":

What it is and it's meaning:
1) Xanadu, is a metaphor for opulence or an idyllic place, based upon Coleridge's description of Shangdu in his poem Kubla Khan. Shangdu, the ancient summer capital of Kublai Khan's empire in China.

2) Xanadu, also known as Zanadu or Shengdu, is a mythical place that is rooted in an actual area of Inner Mongolia. Xanadu became popular as the legendary place mentioned in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem as the place where Kublai Khan built a giant dome to indulge his every fantasy.

3) North of the Great Wall, the Site of Xanadu encompasses the remains of Kublai Khan's legendary capital city, designed by the Mongol ruler's Chinese advisor Liu Bingzhdong in 1256. Over a surface area of 25,000 ha, the site was a unique attempt to assimilate the nomadic Mongolian and Han Chinese cultures.

Video Description From the Universal Pictures Description (quoted):
"A place where nobody dared to go... The love that we came to know... They call it Xanadu!" Watch Olivia Newton-John perform E.L.O.'s "Xanadu" along with Gene Kelly in the eponymous 1980 cult classic. We know the title of this video is confusing but we couldn't fit in the fact that while Gene Kelly's character owns and operates the '80s/'40s hybrid roller disco, Olivia Newton-John's character is the daughter of Zeus and a literal Greek muse. And we just really needed you to know that."

"Xanadu is a look at the future and a loving remembrance of the way things were in the heyday of Hollywood. The musical score includes the hit songs "Magic," "I'm Alive," "All Over the World," "Suddenly," and the title song "Xanadu." Olivia Newton-John will dazzle your senses with her luminous beauty and fabulous voice. She and Gene Kelly star in this mesmerizing musical fantasy. The '40s meets the '80s in Xanadu, a very special love story and the first lavish, old-fashioned musical to utilize today's music." © 1980 Universal City Studios, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

I hope you enjoy watching and listening to this video. I found it best to watch it full screen with sound appropriate for each person...
