Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra track listing

"Can't Get It Out of My Head" is a song written by Jeff Lynne and originally recorded by Electric Light Orchestra (also known as ELO).

First released on the band's fourth album, Eldorado, in September 1974, the song is the second track on the album and follows "Eldorado Overture." The song was released in November of that same year as a single.

The song became the band's first top ten single in the United States, reaching number 9, and helped boost public awareness of the band in America; however, back in the UK the single and LP failed to chart. In 1978 it was included as the lead song on a four-track ELO EP (UK release), reaching number 34 on the UK charts. The song has appeared on many ELO compilation albums.

Jeff Lynne re-recorded the song in his own home studio. It was released in a compilation album with other re-recorded ELO songs, under the ELO name.
