ELO, Lyrics:
Here is the News.

Here is the news
Coming to you every hour on the hour
(Here is the news)
The weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower.

Here is the news
A cure's been found for good old rocket lag
(Here is the news)
Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag.

Here is the news
Here is the news
Here is the news.

("Spaceworkers dispute in London today.
A lightning strike by air shuttle officers
led to over 2,000 passengers being held up
for up to 10 hours to board flights...")

("Ten Eurotechnicians were today sentenced
by the justice computer to be banished for life
to the prison satellite Penal One...")

Here is the news
Another action filled adventure
(Here is the news)
All the worst from the world convention.

Here is the news (the very latest)
Here is the news
Here is the news
Here is the news

("... shares of Roboko Development are now climbing...")
("... a very great friend of mine...")
("... our regular scheduled programs...")
("... the latest report from the people down there...")
("... a tiny little detail...")
("... I'd like to say hello to everybody...")

Here is the news
I wanna go home, I want my baby back
(Here is the news)
I wanna go back!

Here is the news
Somebody has broken out of Satellite Two
(Here is the news....)
Look very carefully, it may be you, you, you, you...

("... the energy counsel today announced...")
("... the archbishop is waving to the crowds...")
("... the World Broadcasting Authority today announced...")
("... I think that's going to be alright, you'll have to wait & see...")
("... I'll call you back later...")

Here is the news.

Jeff Lynne

From the 1981 LP, Time.

Facts:
"Here is the News" from Time. Hidden in plain sight in Here Is The News are several newscaster announcements during the song's chorus. The announcers include an unnamed American announcer hired by the band to get an official American sound as well as the band themselves. The announcements in the first chorus are by the American announcer only and are fairly easy to hear. However, for the second and third choruses, the announcements are layered several layers deep, making it difficult, if not impossible, to discern all of them. The announcer on the first chorus states: "Space workers dispute in London today; A lightning strike by air shuttle officers led to over 2.000 passengers being held up for up to 10 hours to board flights; Ten Euro technicians were today sentenced by the justice computer to be banished for life to the prison satellite penal one." The second chorus has much more going on and only snippets of announcement are in the mix; not all of them can be heard, but what can be heard is: "Shares of Roboko development's now claiming to be... a very great friend of mine... our regular scheduled programs... at the world's end... the latest report from the people down there... only a tiny little detail... I'd like to say hello to everybody." The third chorus has about as much going on as the second chorus and only snippets of announcement are in the mix; what can be heard is: "The energy counsel today announced... the Archbishop is waving to the crowds... the world broadcasting authority today announced that travel to... I think that's going to be alright, we'll have to wait and see; I'll call you back later." The repeated ending and fade-out also feature announcements, but it is pushed so far down in the mix that it's impossible to discern anything out of it.
