Missing songs from the soundtrack album

The first song you mentioned is titled "Dancin'" and is most definitely on the soundtrack, as it's my favorite song on the entire album.

And I agree with you on the full-spectrum version of the "Xanadu" performance. I would like to have had this song with the whole lead-in, rollerskating sequence, the jazz bit, the rock bit, the country bit, all of it. Granted I like Xanadu as its own single, but they should have included the original full sequence song also.

But if you can find the original 45 single to Magic, the B-side song is "Fool Country" which is basically the rock song and country song together just as they are in the movie, but with an orchestrated beginning and end.

What threw me was all the new stuff (or rather OLD stuff) they decided to cram into the Broadway musical. Older ONJ songs, older ELO songs. To me, it makes it seem more dated than it already is. I didn't think that was necessary. Granted, I can't say I have SEEN the live performance, but I have heard the soundtrack and it is BEYOND disappointing. As cheesy as the Xanadu movie is, my opinion based solely on its music is that the movie stands FAR above the musical. I will never waste my money. "Dancin," the rock/swing mash-up you like, is the soundtrack's BIGGEST letdown.

Just to add to the helpful posters who have already mentioned the B-sides of Fool Country and You Made Me Love You, the music while Gene Kelly is skating is called Drum Dreams and was also a B-side to one of the singles released from the album.( but I'm not climbing into the attic to find out which one. I think it was the B side to I'm Alive.)

I wish they had included all the incidental music, especially "Drum Dreams" and the short tune by ELO in the very last scene, when the leading man meets the "waitress". Both are magical.
