OMD - Electricity

[StevenLJohnson]

This is still a great song. One of the best of the 80s

[aiocara]

Doesn't the chorus from this song sounds so much like "the kids arent alright" by the offspring?

[barriobajaj]

@aiocara The Offspring formed in '84. This song came out in '79. Who copied who?

[aiocara]

@barriobajaj relax

I'm not saying one copied another!

Just saying they sound alike..

[NoGodsNoNations]

Great song, it would be better if it was a ... punk rock song!

[MrGib89]

me love iz lovin the old times we with this track dudesxxx

[crazedaddy]

I remember this song driving in my uncles shit box hahaha!

I miss these songs!

[colutd1]

come on endorse eric cantona , take your money out on the 7th of december 2010 . The people s , the day we take the banks down , we have the power , lets use it . Take your money out december the 7th 2010 and cancel your direct debits . Us the people will rise , peacefull like , but we will rise .

[thebroodhn]

@colutd1 Sounds like a mugger's paradise

[monk3yboy69]

@colutd1 You do realise that if there is a major run on a bank, the bank simply closes down the network to prevent any money from leaving (Northern Rock). Given that you need to give your bank and branch 24 hours notice of intention to withdraw funds higher than £1000.00 (some banks even lower), this idea is flawed. Banks will see it coming and respond accordingly. Beware - a sudden collapse of a bank will make speculators more wealthy, which benefits the very same people you are targetting!

[annmoo64]

oh my god - where did the years go?? Hammersmith Odeon on the stage i remember you like yesterday!

super,te klimaty lat 80tych nadal dzialaja na mnie!!!!!!!1

Good times ...

[fsxUSnavy]

this is the AWESOME music! the music today is CRAP

[munchy14]

@fsxUSnavy True, this music is awesome... but not ALL music today is crap.....

[YCSMusic]

Wonderful, I bought it on release in a pure black braille sleeve. The simplest of tunes made catchy by the arpeggio's they use in most of their songs. OMD have long since ceased using analogue synths and were using 2 Fantom X when I saw them last year - they still sound great!

[saldm21]

OMD,Depeche Mode,Cure,.... the best time of our lifes

[davybeck]

be better if he plugged his guitar in.



[WiseMax]

@davybeck

Radio Guitar?... LOL!

[Popadom247]

Im only 15 and I love this, my dad got me into this

[bellcheese1982]

@Popadom247 never to youg kiddo

[SuperLuckyL]

@Popadom247 WOW! i'm only 15 too, but i randomly came about enloa gay from my ex! now i'm hooked on OMD!! (Y)

[kenfookingdodd]

I have electricity in my house. I enjoy using it but it is dangerous if you touch it with one of your hands.

[AjaxMarseille]

@kenfookingdodd

Listen to this guy kids, he speaks the truth.

[yapzhenyun17]

[walletblack]

[frantasium]

Bring bak the 80's

[reelink]

that's so fucking fantastic!

[DanceBoyAdialJunior]

Concordo plenamente com o Ademar Silva, hoje são poucas músicas que marcam como esse grande clássico. De que ano é esse som, alguém poderia me dizer?

[ademarsilva1000]

sao as melhores musicas os anos 80,isso sim e musica nao essa porcaria de hoje abraços e kiss a todos.........

[alicia70eg]

you can't help but move it this! :)

[depechemodevilla]

I don't care what anyone says, this jams kicks culo!

[riotiticaca]

When I hear these songs, I feel that 2000 is the worst music era.

[T1carus]

its been a very bad period, i dont even listen to modern music now.

[ConnaughtVaughan]

1995 to 2005 s the best period in electronic music...checkout my channel!

[maozl900]

100% agree

[cosmosis333]

a ellos los conoci en inglaterra, saludos!

[Cordino66]

che bei ricordi....ho ricomprato il disco!!!

[10wwfc]

fantastic video

[snokkedorus]

Thanks for sharing this great tune ! If only I could relive these great years. I admit, I'm a very nostalgic guy, but music in that era had an immense good influence on me...

Whenever I listen to todays music,.....well then I'm feeling really old......

[RingOfFire79]

C'è sempre da imparare...adoro enola gay, ma questa non la conoscevo e improvvisamente voglio tornare negli anni 80!

[cioppy6]

fantastica!!!!!

[tiotemire02]

le chanteur et kitsh mais j adore la chanson

[TheLiliette]

c'est normal que ce soit kitch, ça a 30 ans mon gars !

[tiotemire02]

et de la je ne suis pas un gars

il es marker tiote

et je sait jetait nee mais pas toi

vive les chtis

[murmur1983]

this is really awesome. I used to think that OMD and ELO were the same band somehow...maybe I was wrong.

[DrChemicalX3]

way seperate band, these guys have talent, and i love them so much.

- T.

[Kyo2Song561]

80'sss i so love OMD still, it brings back memories good and bad ..LoL wish i could turn back time:D

[5tuka]

AnAutumnsDay

Italy have the great Giorgio Moroder. Check out "The Chase" and "From Here To Eternity" by the maestro.

[crdrews]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[szaksen]

love 1.10 :)

[Lysimachus]

I love how the bassist lunges his guitar back and forth. It's like his tall stature can dwarf the long neck of the bass guitar.

[jakeryan37]

one of the 80s best,i want to put my drakkar cologne and go party to 80s songd

[AnAutumnsDay]

Germany has Kraftwerk and we have OMD, both are fantastic and both have made some of the best music I've ever heard in my life!!!

[rodolphegilles]

@AnAutumnsDay and we had Etienne Daho and Indochine in France...quite correct too .............but OMD was my favourite back then...

[kitko33]

@AnAutumnsDay

Both are great it's just that Kraftwerk came years before the OMD.

[yodenman]

@AnAutumnsDay

Yes, this definitely has a nod towards Kraftwerk's Radioactivity. 

[Bluden]

Love this song. Thanks for putting it up

[OverLordMorshu]

i been trying to remember the name of this song for so many years haha. i only found out when i went shopping and it was playing there haha

[clsleamington]

How very Kraftwerk! ;-)

[Polonpo]

Awesome track!

Imho they can be mentioned in the same sentence as Kraftwerk. (I do kinda prefer KW though).

[powrxplor69]

Love this song

I always thought that was a xylophone

or marimba or something...

[Stripeysocks88]

does anyone know the keyboard notes to this song? its so good :)

[kaged85]

I just played this by ear so some notes might be off, but the note numbers are not the notes on the keyboards; it's just reference to which octaves the notes are in. octaves start from note C.

Bar 1 (Am):

E2 A1 E2 E2 F2 E2 E2 A1 E2 C2 E2 D2 E2 D2 E2

Bar 2 (F):

F1 C2 C2 D2 C2 C2 F1 C2 A1 C2 B1 C2 B1 C2

Bar 3 (C):

C1 G1 G1 A1 G1 G1 A1 G1 E1 G1 F1 G1 F1 G1

Bar 4 (G):

G1 D2 D2 E3 D2 D2 G1 D2 B1 D2 C2 D2 C2 D2

[shaker1994]

do u know the notes?

or explain how these are read?

[danielastar10]

io sono electricita.

[magpiej23]

Classic.....

[Keijz74]

I wonder how many great keyboard players, bass pickers and drummers were encouraged to pick up their instrument by hearing this one!

[Keijz74]

%

c(_) My coffee is electrically charged now! MMMM Or is it the full sound of my speakerset? Must be my brain OO

[Knoedelhans]

Eines ihrer besten Tracks!!! Super!! Neben "enola gay" und "maid of orleans" eines meiner Favoriten!!

Andys Performance ist immer wieder sehenswert!

Großartig!!

Von OMD besitze ich alle Alben!

[GAFFTV]

Thaught you'd prefer KRAFTWERK!!!

[joandck1]

damned YIANNIS

[tomaso247]

Nothing to play vinyl on - brings back memories

[Keijz74]

When I get my pickup working I'll go to my friendly second hand store "Secunda" and look for the album I guess.

[GRIFF74]

Have this on the 12 inch album. Great song

[gastelumjayboi]

[Arenadancer]

[krazymexicaking]

[EmperorDude224]

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG!

[bigpaulothe1st]

yes the catchiest tune of all time . NO CONTEST.

[EnnioRome]

1980!!! Their look like a quiet boys!

[wallaguest1]

oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[fac3308]

isabel osorio. your name pops up everytime i here omd.

[vanillaorchid]

Ah, nostalgia overload! I was 14 when this came out, and it's still fresh.

[RecollectionRoad]

Pff, nothing for me to say; does come any better than this.

[bundy58]

SHIT !!!

[molonlave2010]

This song is ok , at least it's better than Joy Divison.

[kopstas123]

Joy Division was the best even if the singer commit suicide they still are the best...

[GoldenSoldier9]

They just don't make tunes like this anymore!

[keithbcook]

good stuff

[SpankRamen2]

Electricity, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee

[SaulMcginn]

I like the ending: EEEEEEEEeeeee...

[IDGAR007]

yes very! good!

[GRIFF74]

Actually, McClusky is a crap dancer - this is a known fact - but the music as alwsys is great!

[discoring68]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lizbetitamas]

oh wow magnífica canción!!!!

[berten1987]

looooooooove it !

[HollosiJ]

Video is a bit funny, but the music became quite popular now in Hungary.

[herentoilet1]

now?

[HollosiJ]

It is in a TV ad.I haven't heard the song before.

[tomfix4]

jaja w1ttmann. :D

[w1ttmann]

dr. badár & szőke kapitány :-D

[utubegeneration]

Retro Vision

[BazPatrol]

Fantastic, what a superb band,

[ajittffcure]

I have wondered how Andy McCluskey plays the bass, sings and dances at the same time! I have not seen another bass player doing everything at the same time. Though I am saying this out of admiration, sometimes it gets annoying watching him do that break-dance dance with that bass... 'cause he does in all the videos in case you folks have noticed.

[transfobby]

and then there was U2 playing Electric & Co

[Keijz74]

Which I also like very much.

[crawfordcrew]

knowing the meaning is all the better!

[frankmonkey]

This song brings back memories from does ditching parties, back in High School@ BG!!!!

[SamHusseini]

Loved this song when I was a kid, didn't realize what it was about (word aren't very clear) till now...
