Quoted from ReadyPO:I always thought it was "Don't bring me down, Bruce" but it is actually "Don't bring me down, groos" which was a made up word. I will be singing it the Boob way from now on...
It's actually "gruss," the German word for "great." They were recording Discovery with Mack (the German engineer that worked on Queen albums), and he said "gruss" one day, so Jeff Lynne just stuck it in the song. The rest is history.
For the record (see what I did there?), I hate that song. It's my bathroom break song whenever I see them live.
