Persistent earworm alert LVIII

It puzzles me that ELO's "Twilight" wasn't a bigger hit in 1981.  The characteristics of big ELO hits--a memorable chorus, grand orchestral backing, and spacey backing vocals--are all present, and it's one of ELO's most energetic hits.  The prologue to it on the "Time" album dates it now, but I'm puzzled that "Twilight" wasn't more popular in its time.  It's a welcome tune to have in my mind tonight.
