Brutality
From The Worst Movies of All Time re: Xanadu
"Of course, entrusting the score to the Electric Light Orchestra was no way to make a musical soar. Dinosaurs even in their own time, these synthetic pseudo-classical rockers specialized in flatulently overproduced compositions that were hard enough to hum along with, much less dance to. Nevertheless, the people in this movie dance to them - or at least they try. When they aren't dancing, they're roller skating."
I almost wish I wrote that. Still, Four Little Diamonds is a kick ass song.
