OMD - Electricity

[scoobynzany]

think i first heard this about 1980/81 .. great tune.  wish i could wind the clock back, music just ain't what it used to be, mark, oz

[CHRIS260a]

was given this album on my 18 birthday in 1982 and still listen to it every now and then and it still sounds great

[Warpadice]

Thumbs up if you've played Realmz!

[109ecroyd]

1979 !



[wozbooth]

what a top tune,first time i heard this was a mate of mine magoo radcliffe it was is brothers steves,fell in love with this band,was a impact on synthisizers,the way forward love it , woz booth.........................­......this was a band of my time

[punkrocksowhat]

The NOFX version is much better

[Elwoodblues87]

@punkrocksowhat

What kind of crack are you on? I'm all over covers, but NOFX sounds like a low rent sped up version of this tune. It doesn't have the danacablity that OMD provided.

[christophezirgle]

WELCOME BIENVENUE ON YOUTUBE ZIRGLE and the waves PEACE PACFISM PRUDENCE

[mikefife]

Well I'm 50 and I saw them live at Manchester Poly in 1979 or 80 (it's all getting a bit fuzzy) and they were awesome - not awesome like awesome is today, but AWESOME. I stood and watched in awe. I'd not seen or heard anything like it before.

[TheBritishdave]

[berlinisbaked]

[40ChampagneSupernova]

My little brother used to deliver Andy McCluskey's newspaper when he lived in Heswall.

Don't think he ever tipped him though -(

[misanthrop18]

I absolutely love this song,,like more than life itself. :) and I am from Korea

[joopwoop]

@misanthrop18 South Korea, im just guessing!

[genovefa66]

I found my old records from 1982 and i wrote "Deolight disappeared"!!!! on it, because i did not understand correctly! It is a shame...I remember moving in my first little flat, when i was 15 in that year and i heard it on my radio and took it on my records with Midge Ure`s "Regrets" and "Hard to say i`m sorry"(Chicago),"Hungry like a wolf" (Duran Duran) and Air Suppley`s Lovesongs...great times...

[MiniParkourKid]

Ohhhhh look at me, i'm 15 and like this song i'm so awesome. No. I am also 15, I also like this song. But I don't however, go around flaunting my age about it.

[simmekut]

well, I'm 15 and even I know this song. It's classic!

[40ChampagneSupernova]

@simmekut . Spot on kid . Beats the crap out of todays "music"

[Eliya1995]

[MrFunmancy]

Damn...miss the 80's....all the crap that is heard now a day's doesn't even touch the 80's..

[Johnny5Bench]

[ByronRaver]

[MiniParkourKid]

[MaedaMoonie]

Wikipedia: I know everything!

Google: I have everything!

Facebook: I know everybody!

Internet: Without me you are nothing!

Electricity: Keep talking bitches...

[papoj1PVR]

@MaedaMoonie

Music: Just shut up and dance to me!

[kokaiini]

@papoj1PVR good point!

[lazare73]

@MaedaMoonie

Best comment I've read on any forum! Nicely done!

[cudaj2]

@MaedaMoonie LOL! You said everything in so few words! Nobody could have said that better. I do miss that late 70's/early 80's synth sound before it got over used.

[900GTi]

Thumbs Up if you heard this on Synth Britiannia

[srohowsky]

And here I was always taught it was Al

Gore who invented the intranets. You must be talking about something else!

[srohowsky]

Fabulous! Had the import single when it first came out--on the legendary Factory Records--but this was the first time viewing the video. STILL a great song. Contemporary musicians should watch these guys to learn how it was done.

[fixfluff]

the adds are so annoying at the start of the video's.

[SuperKLELIO]

3:27 I jumped from the chair

[kleingevaarlijkafval]

awesomeness



[AndyOshea]

Video didn't load you cunt

[retrothunderboy]

@AndyOshea Hmmm loads for me,update your Flash Player and stop being a Freak !!!

[bernard19643]

fantastische muziek

waar kan ik nog muziek vinden van deze genre?

[y318]

Man! I didn't expect this to be preciseliy a song I din't know I knew and knew I liked

[spacebats]

Love the modern futuristic graphic idents after the silly, old fashioned English shit at the start. I'm pretty suprised they mustered up color tv in those days too. Fucking UK nobheads. USA RULES!

[NirvanaRox4Eva]

@spacebats Why watch it if you dont like it? and for your information, it was the brits who created the jet engine, it was the brits who discovered DNA, it was the brits who created the world wide web, it was the brits who come up with the web cam, it was the brits who had the largest empire in the world, it was the brits who invented the steam engine, it was the brits who had the first naval gun turret, the brits came up with chobham armour, now used on US tanks. So think before you say anythin

[DIAMONDGEEZER64]

@spacebats Yeah right dude ha ha ha.

[thebeast1495]

@spacebats Hey CUNTFACE YOU American FAT PIECE OF SHIT we founded you and prevented you from being a French colony who wants to be French you twat. The Americans invented fuck all and everybody hates your shit country if the USA rules why did it get the shit kicked out of it by a tiny country called Vietnam SUCK MY DICK.

[burnell63]

@thebeast1495

Hmmmm. Awkward! Someone has stated the obvious.

[UnforgettableFabio]

j love NIPPON. "forever"

[autodafeh242]

I was 9 years old when my sister bought this track...It blew me away and i still like it...she lost the album,ahum!! But later in life i admitted to her that it was saved in my collection...LOL..I gave it back ofcourse....Now its a topic of conversation on birthdayparty,s at my parents house...The thief that stole OMD from his sister!!! hahaha

[malenareichert]

Viele Erinnerungen an Lima! Mit Doppel-Neun, könnten wir Musik wie diese hören!

[paulbanks2312]

[sasicmirko]

What a great song!!

[mirush65]

@maveric23100 Why "cmment removed"???

[xXSkittlesDaRabbitXx]

I'm 10 years old,and I'm in the wrong generation :)

[mirush65]

@maveric23100 YOU are "DEAD -ON"!!! MUSIC is EMOTION...& Nothing ELSE. VIVA la MUZIKA !!! (thnx.)

[mirush65]

ps: this trak became THE destroyer of otherwise "UNdestroyable" "JBL-4560"double BASS BIN speaker cabinets!!!(wasn't long before EQ's were "LOCKED-OUT" to DJs )

[mirush65]

this trak became MASSIVE in MONTREAL when WE started DJ'ng 1979-1981!!! GLAS METAL SPHINX FOUFOUNNES-ELECTRIQUES...MTL. was BEST New-Wave "scene" on Planet EARTH!!! i saw them LIVE in 1980 in a TINY spot in mtl when i was JUST 15...Show was SOLD- OUT & we ALL went WILD!!!Those MEMORIES!!!

[siouxise82]

OMD tonight at the city! It will be electric....

[mirush65]

@siouxise82 LUCKY YOU; what city?

[siouxise82]

@mirush65 NYC- it was cheesey but awesome!! They did not play Pandoras box, though :(

[Azrael8172]

Yes, Jay Walkerr! Thumb for me, still listening after Years..:-)

[taraboingo]

@StrokedGT are we making this his unofficial campaign song???? I love it!

[ooi0809]

that's why nowadays music can' t compare with 70's, 80's ......

[jojokikim]

debut de la music electro ! bravo ! vous adorent ! bisous a tous les fans !

[km28]

I sure hope that Ron Paul becomes president and abolishes the Federal Reserve, I mean I don't think anyone enjoys having their Federal Income Tax deduction be taken out of each pay check, and kicks the Government out of the issues in which they have been sticking their noses into the lives of every single American family for all these years. Ron Paul all the way... Tell it like it is Ron.

[deedas333]

i,m Irish and i think ron paul rocks we could all do with a leader like him if he gets in , a gr8 man at work thinking for the peoples more than the state and beliving he can make a change for the peoples wow i watch him a lot a gr8 man . peace and love to all .

[TheKathleenR]

I love this song

[Mrchickenwing74]

I like dis song alot

[marcoyjessica]

Corona Capital : ) pa alla vamos

[Ashley19721]

clever song

[liessevdw1]

af met die depressieven brol

[knottytrevor]

Needs Fat Mike.

[Kaptenmork]

This was one of the first CD i bought, the CD was a new thing then, they were very expensive and most of them have to be ordered. I still have this one, and i love it!

[adam3088]

@Kaptenmork

Does it still read ok? Heard something a while back about the lifetime of CD's + DVD's being far less then initially thought.

[timawells]

Other than the odd decent song, what has happened to the creativity of the latest generation, it is just over produced junk. This generation of music got us out of the 1980's recession.

[agpweiss]

super

[PopShoppekid]

Of course, still listening to OMD in 2011 !!

[Hatsudenshogi]

Awesome!

I cried because of impression.

[SWmarko]

Is it just me or OMD bass lines are so simple but sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood­? :D

[VJFranzK]

This is GREAT! And could have been filmed today, due to the "neo 80's" trend in music right now.

[071419644153]

yes i still do will not let this music die! thomas in san diego

[i4zetec]

I definitely support Mr. Paul as our next president. I think he gets it.

[i4zetec]

Someone give them some electricity ...please!

[MusicIsEffingLifeX]

OhHai, I'm 12. OMD FTW<<3

[Paseosinperro]

este tema es increible

[TheStevo75]

has anyone noticed on some of the adverts on the web they put the buy now box right under the x to turn the advert off hoping you will accidentally press the buy now box? cuz i have and its really sneaky!

[COUCOUcc1]

tout simplement EXTRAORDINAIRE

[ziak09]

CC GREAT



[Ruth10151617]

135 people are aftraid of electricity

[mrmojorisin291278]

Probably one of the best bands ever i can honestly say apart from The Doors and Inxs these guys are the only other band who's cd i can listen to all the way through and like every single song. Quality.

[MrJohnTitor]

Loving the Edit on the Info. Google Ron Paul 2012. Electric Idea :-) It's TIME folks.

[StrokedGT]

@MrJohnTitor definitely, just trying to do my part to get the word out, because the media won't do it. I encourage everyone to Google or better yet, Youtube Ron Paul

[anunnaki2006]

@MrJohnTitor The Worshipful Company of Fuellers will not allow Ron Paul to become U.S. President.

[RTRVII]

@MrJohnTitor Time for what? What is so special about Ron Paul ? Im no american

[StrokedGT]

@RTRVII simply put, he is a Libertarian running for President as a Republican, but he is not a Republican and the Republicans dont like him much. He is anti establishment, wants the US to allow its citizens more freedoms, like the legalization of drugs if we vote for it (like in California), wants to pull the US out of the wars in the middle east, stop meddling in other countries affairs. A lot of his critics haven't researched him, and dismiss him because he is technically a still Republican

[RTRVII]

@StrokedGT thanks for the reply. Sounds like the right man in the right time.

[MultiJedimaster]

hope they dont make a dubstep or techno version of this :(

[heatseeker1222]

Doesn't Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright follow the same melodic line?

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

@heatseeker1222 : Nice observation. Ha! Ha! 'The Kids Aren't Alright' is also a great song and one of the best that The Offspring put out.

[Imiface]

@heatseeker1222 Not really I think.

[Paseosinperro]

yeah!!

[letssmoke100]

song makes me wanna dance like the guy playing the guitar

[TheStevo75]

@letssmoke100 Stop making comments on videos OK! your opinion means nothing and you dont matter one bit so clear off !!!

[NEDKELLY1191]

love this song

[123xxrobertx]

what a classy song ! no more words needed !

[kobi97]

[chumbersdee]

@cirocrazy I agree. OMD seems to go well with beer....seriously

[858jumper]

Best Group that ever walked this earth !!!!!

[TheShirleythompson]

and ... They still sound as good as ever

[DoglessEndeavor]

One of the greatest songs in the world, and they look like they're barely even trying to sing it!

[nachoceo]

this is nice specially when you driving in a big highway...makes you more alive...Party!

[europica]

I remeber seeing them at the Electric Ballroom with me mates. I'm pretty sure there was only two of them at that time (1979), and a reel to reel tape recorder right in the middle of the stage. I think they were supporting Penetration.

[usmcsdi69]

Happy music from the 80's... you just can't beat it!

[Spudsmuggler]

I am an electrician

When I feel a bit shit about work,I listen to this

[djmusicjac]

i smile every time i hear this song it sends me to a very very happy place a heavanly place where the sun shines all time, such a MASTERPIECE

[hatapaful]

OMD je pojem

[rockguru123]

I'm a teenager in completely the wrong generation.
