<P> The song was dedicated to the NASA Skylab space station, which re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and burned up over the Indian Ocean and Western Australia on 11 July 1979 . </P> <P> On 4 November 2007, Lynne was awarded a BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc) Million - Air certificate for "Don't Bring Me Down" for the song having reached two million airplays . </P> <P> A common mondegreen in the song is the perception that, following the title line, Lynne shouts "Bruce!". In the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback and elsewhere, Lynne has explained that he is singing a made - up word, "Grooss," which some have suggested sounds like the German expression "Gruß ." After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows . </P> <P> A music video for the song was produced, which showed video of the band performing the song interspersed with various animations relating to the song's subject matter, including big - bottomed majorettes and a pulsating neon frankfurter . The band's three resident string players are depicted playing keyboards in the music video . </P>
