  • i do love this song, good combination of rythmn, beat and lyrics..good speed too..great dance song and great for anything else, driving..in fact this is on my rotation for working out now..thanks for posting

  • me encanta esta cancion, su ritmo...

  • Holy crap I heard this today on the radio... Hopefully my phone recognized it and... Here I am :) awesome song!

  • Got turned on to OMD when "Dreaming" came out and bought The Best Of and this was the first track...blew my mind! And still does!

  • I remember their wonderful performance supporting Gary Numan at Newcastle City hall back in 1980! This song was one of many highlights in their set - Messages and Red Frame White Light being among the others! It was weird seeing a three piece band where one of them was a TEAC reel-to-reel tape machine called Winston! The first two OMD albums are complete masterpieces - well worth acquiring! I will never ever tire of hearing this tremendous song - it still sounds fresh and vital today!

  • I'm 11 and I love OMD and the 80's! :) <3

  • Anyone else electrician here? :) *raised hand*

  • Wikipedia: I Know everything!

    Google: I have everything!

    Facebook: I know everybody!

    Internet: Without me, you are all nothing.

    Electricity: Keep,talking b*tchs.

  • /watch?v=50neX2abALg&feature=r­elated

    rock version....rough recorded though

  • just heard this at an angel game and instantly fell in love with it

  • its so interesting how the lead singer is also the bassist... i cant think of many groups where iv seen that.. awesome stuff too :D

  • i got bored and typed in electricity

  • that haunting keyboard riff still mesmerizes me. This was the golden age of indie music... 1979 to 1981. Music had grown beyond punk, but had not yet became the commercialized, big-hair cliched '80s. 1980... To me they will always be ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK not OMD. I suspect the name OMD was coined for the American market, as the former was too complex.

  • Futuristic ;)

  • Comment removed

  • This video was.. literal.

  • Super jolie !!!!

  • 1:01

  • some songs are immune to passing fads and trends, this song is one of then, awesome and timeless

  • Alain Vandam

  • HUGE thumbs up...the daddies

  • THE REAL SHITT ....

  • I love this song so much!

  • My guilty pleasure omd!!!!!!!!!!

  • my fave OMD SONG!!

  • I ♥ DIZ SONG 

  • really nice song!

  • this song is a hit in the parties

  • Awesome! One of my favorites. Touring N.A. now and close with this song.  What's amazing is they wrote this song in 1976. If you consider what was playing on the airwaves in 1976, this was pioneering work. Also listen to the lyrics. They reject nuclear power, hydroelectric power (HEP), fossil fuel energy, and praise solar electricity as the cleanest fuel of all. In 1976! 35 years later, we are still dealing with the same debate and only now just starting to use solar power.

  • @EYEM2L8 Why is that?

  • 2 people would rather turn their electricity off when this song comes up.

  • Süper bir parça. Türkiye sizi seviyor:)))

  • awesome song..just thought about it but I've always loved OMD ..yah OMD

  • I like a lot of 80s electro including OMD, New Order and Eurythmics yet this is coming from a 13 year old who doesn't like mainstream music :)

  • OMD on tour in North America go to "omd.uk.com" for tour dates and other information!

  • I love it even though it gives me that bitterSWEET feeling....it's like a lost childhood it's like they took something away....

  • nice

  • I love the way 'Electricity and Gas' Google Adds appear when I watch this. I wonder if OMD predicted they're be helping energy companies make money 30 years later !! It wouldn't surprise me if they did, they were that cool !

  • i am 18 but i really like to listen 80's and 9o's songs... This song is awesome!

  • @MrAngelos me too :3

  • Makes me dance everyTIME!

  • Now this is a classic!! Most of today's music is shit! Whatever happened to music that actually had meaning, not who has the most money and bigger house. That's it, I've had enough. I'm gonna get in my Delorean and go back to the 80's haha

  • @arroyoseco85 Hey,a Delorean has 2 seats, pick me up on the way!

  • 1980? Was this not 1979 then?

  • love!

    

  • its a crying shame that song has only 9264 views :( Thumbs up if you've listened this song more than once :)

  • @chappy2612 I come back often. I love everything about it, the bass, synthesizers, vocals and the sheer electricity of it all :o)#

  • @chappy2612 I have lost the count......
