I really love Spine and Rabbit's voices in this video. they blend really, really well together. That is the plus to being twins with a similar vocal range.
This song is so hard and so soft at the same time. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it manages to be really intense, while being incredibly gentle to the listener at the same time. SPG is amazing!
I wish they'd make a second version of this song built solely on the introduction theme. A darker, slow, bassy, and heavy feeling song. A song to hum heavily too. That's pretty heavy considering how much the song is already ;P
Guys you are saving me from a strong depression. I know you'll never read this, but every song you've got makes me feel identifiedm and all your live versions makes me feel so happy. I'm going every night to sleep with a smile in my face, and stop thinking about everything just singing your songs in my head. You are saving me. Really. Thank you.
MiruPinkBitch It's really nothing. I've seen people crumble down on screen and in real life from depression. The best I can do on the web is give someone some hope in life.
I don't like the fact that 45 people disliked. These electronic harmonic robots are amazing and have been in my life since I was a little girl(5-7 years old) their so good. It's amazing on how far they've come! I love you guys continue doing what you robots do!💞
This was the first SPG song that I had heard. They changed my entire perspective on music and my life has been better ever since. I haven't listened to this song in such a long time and it's really taking me back.
David here. The original video for this song is on our Patreon. It was made in 2008 for a Halloween party for our friends. It’s actually not a video of this version of the song, but an even older version before the band had put out any music and sounds a bit different :) : www.patreon.com/posts/21375928?
She means at the end of the song when they're all repeating "Oh" which leads into the "La's" And then into the long "Oooh" and more quotation marks and random shit I don't fucking know.
Эта песня бьет электричеством в самое сердце, заставляя его биться чаще. По всему телу расходится заряд, пробуждающий жажду к действию и творчеству. Спасибо Вам за эту песню! Она со мной до конца моей жизни.
As someone with Azburgers, this song really speaks to me. Its hard for me to feel feelings, hard to identify them or understand them. Feeling like a robot is a common occurance. But when feelings to transpire, its always 150%, I get too angry, too happy, too sad. Emotions run wild when I feel them, but then I go right back into robot mode. Its hard sometimes but I live with it. So, "Electricity is in my soul." Speaks to me in a lot of ways
Forgot for awhile but we always come back don’t we? Love you guys. Glad to be back haha. I was an edgy little kid when I first found you guys. Now I can appreciate the music so much better
+AnimalHouseforReal Now that you mentioned Queen, all I can hear is the similarity within the voices. But the music genre isn't quite exactly the same.
I've been gettin' into Steampunk as I'm considering writing a novel about it (just for the net n' all) and I've been looking into it as a fantasy/sci-fi genre and a culture and such and I find that I quite adore the music.. Steam Powered Giraffe being one of my more favourite artists. Particularly due to their song, "Brass Goggles."
Every time my life gets very rough or things seem especially hopeless I end up returning to SPG. Thank you guys so much for everything; you mean so much more to the world than you could ever know.

I don't care how long ago this was posted, but I love your picks, anyway. (see what i did there) Also, for MK III, I'd have Turn Back the Clock on that list. Wait, was that song in MK III?
I love this song so much. It was on my Spotify discover weekly playlist thing over two months ago and I listened to it so much that I had to check out the rest of the band's discography and immediately became a fan. Well done!
I just realized The Spine is holding a knife and fork, boutta take a bite of that electricity. Look how happy he is haha. I'm just imagining him singing this song to a live electrical wire before munching on it.
When "oh ah oh ah oh ah oh" is sang, it strongly reminds me of something, but I can't put the name on it... Does it remind anyone else of a game or song or anything?
I have two different versions of this song on my itunes. I have this version which is straight from Album One and then I have a version with Upgrade that I got off youtube or something. I have to say that as much as I love Upgrade to bits, I prefer this version because David's harmony parts are brought out a LOT more in this version and it makes the song's over all sound 110% better.
A Man of the Spiral Not a fan of nightcore that much tbh, but you really ought to not hate on nightcore fans, they are probably a hundred times more interesting and mentally developed than you are.
Why you erase girl out of that version? That was little but very much needed snippet that i`m originally falled in love with. Whole song is great, and i really like it, but that snippet jumped me to pure love.
Vennificus ***** I think UA-cam is one of the best ways to become more known around the world, for music and performer artists specially, and the more songs/videos you have, the more chances for people to know you... And they deserve to be known all around, imo!
+Short Circuit This is what David said on his Tumblr: "Finally getting back around to uploading our older albums to UA-cam! I hope it brings more attention to gems like this and all the crazy art we’ve done over the years."
I feel so incredibly lucky, because I was able to get my hands on a copy of their original recording of Album One with Upgrade (signed in person too!). Every time I hear this song and they get to verse 2, I expect to hear her sing and it surprises me that its not there. Kind if makes me cry inside. At some point I want to upload the Upgrade versions of the songs onto UA-cam from the disc I have.
kicking myself cause i can't find the one old live version of this song i'm thinking of... recorded on an empty little black stage with a lot of those little steam noises at the beginning, where they picked the tempo up just a smidge and it RULED oh godddd i should've saved that video when i had the chance
question for Steam Powered Giraffe (or any super smart fans) is there anything in the lore (on steampoweredgiraffe.com) that's talks about The Jon and Upgrade's leave? I've been looking but I can't find anything in the lore
I know that the lore behind The Jon is that he was powered on a rare crystal soda that is no longer produced, so he's traveling the world now before he runs out. I'm not sure about Upgrade, and part of me wonders if she was erased from their history.
I really love Spine and Rabbit's voices in this video. they blend really, really well together. That is the plus to being twins with a similar vocal range.
are they twins?
Plum_ Pie Yep. Isn’t that awesome?
whoah yeah thats cool
😮 whoa what! Seriously!? Nuh uh!
Wow, I have been listening to this group for over a decade and never knew Spine and Bunny are twins!
this is like if Queen and Daft Punk had a child. i love it
Ye.
Check out their Daft Punk cover.
Have you ever heard of ELO?
You're right
I know! Its amazing.
the robotic “la la la la laaa”s give me SUCH CHILLS IM OBSESSED
This song is so hard and so soft at the same time. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it manages to be really intense, while being incredibly gentle to the listener at the same time. SPG is amazing!

I haven't heard this one in a while and it made me genuinely cry. Their harmony is truly something else. I forget how beautiful this song sounds.
Guys you are saving me from a strong depression.
I know you'll never read this, but every song you've got makes me feel identifiedm and all your live versions makes me feel so happy.
I'm going every night to sleep with a smile in my face, and stop thinking about everything just singing your songs in my head.
You are saving me. Really.
Thank you.
They aren't saving you. You're saving yourself, and you're using SPG to stay strong. Speaking of which, stay strong. I hope luck comes your way.
Screw You Thank you, thats so sweet of you

Cool.
The last "electricity is in my-" is so cool, one of my favorite parts of an already great song

@@spgiraffe Ah, you're the best, that's the exact one I've been looking for! Thank you, David! :)
One of those songs that you just close your eyes and listen to.
i run on steam powered giraffe
I love when The Spine goes "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh". It makes me happy. Just sayin'.
+BlinkinFirefly Love when it goes "La la la, la la"
I thought he was saying, "...in my so-tah-co-tah-co.."
Screw You LMAO! wut!?!? XD
She means at the end of the song when they're all repeating "Oh" which leads into the "La's" And then into the long "Oooh" and more quotation marks and random shit I don't fucking know.
I thought they were saying taco.

I wonder if the group Queen has influence on their music. This song reminds me of Queen. Excellent song!
AnimalHouseforReal Nah, there is a big difference such as the style. but i agree it is an Excellent song ;)
Well from what I remember reading somewhere, Queen is one of the groups' inspirations as artists (along with other artists)
+AnimalHouseforReal Now that you mentioned Queen, all I can hear is the similarity within the voices. But the music genre isn't quite exactly the same.
+AnimalHouseforReal it seems to have more of an ELO vibe to it if you think about it. just compare it to Mr. Blue Sky.
AnimalHouseforReal I think SPG would do a fantastic cover of Queen's '39 .
i'm a simple man. i hear a good song, i like.
YOOO FRIENDS QUOTE
I actually have this whole album, and I would definitely recommend it.
I came back after a good couple years, and this song still makes me cry.
My headcannon is that the "electronic" voice, especially in the live version, is Beebop singing with them xD
That's actually really cool, and it totally makes sense. At least in the universe where there are singing robots that used to be war robots.
I like that headcanon--but that voice to me sounds way more like Qwerty than Bebop.
I'd just like to thank SPG for giving me the inspiration to create my animated show.
I've been gettin' into Steampunk as I'm considering writing a novel about it (just for the net n' all) and I've been looking into it as a fantasy/sci-fi genre and a culture and such and I find that I quite adore the music..

Hi! Just wondering, did you ever do anything with that novel idea? I think it would be enjoyable to read :)
Every time my life gets very rough or things seem especially hopeless I end up returning to SPG. Thank you guys so much for everything; you mean so much more to the world than you could ever know.
This actually might be my favorite song of all time.

This song has helped me through alot.... thanks SPG
Still one of my favourites! Love the 70-80s rock vibes
I think even a decade later this is either my fav, or second favourite song overall.
Really calming to me... Thank you SPG for being so good at what you do. I like different music and I found it here. Love you all!
Recently found out this song was available on Rockband and have played it so much ^_^, absolutely love this song.
I love this song so much. It was on my Spotify discover weekly playlist thing over two months ago and I listened to it so much that I had to check out the rest of the band's discography and immediately became a fan. Well done!
I just realized The Spine is holding a knife and fork, boutta take a bite of that electricity. Look how happy he is haha. I'm just imagining him singing this song to a live electrical wire before munching on it.
He just twirls the wire on his fork and eats it like electric spaghetti
Literally hearing this for the first time today. Simply amazing.
i love how ELO this is
Steam Powered Giraffe needs way more people to see their videos/performances. If people did, I bet a lot of people would love it.
1:39 Is this part also the Spine? Nobody ever sings this low part in live shows. (Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised. That dude is insanely talented)
This is one of my top favourite songs. Loving the single releases
God, this song is gorgeous.
So, so gorgeous.
such a creative group .
i found this back in 2014 and i couldnt listen to it until i got over my personal issues so thank you for reminding me every year you change
I don't know why, but I get a kind of "Queen" feel from the way they sing their vocals and play the instruments in some area's, like the start.
That's what I was thinking.
So glad that I discovered this band from RB3.
How could you not like this?
Tbh, this sounds best in 1.25 speed like, it captures a more swing to the song and I'm absolutely o b s e s s e d
YOU'RE RIGHT!!!
its more up beat, pretty cool
I'm feeling the ELO in this! I wonder why ;)
I think it's because the spine cooks perfectly
When "oh ah oh ah oh ah oh" is sang, it strongly reminds me of something, but I can't put the name on it... Does it remind anyone else of a game or song or anything?
It reminds me of something to, but I don't know what
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! I'VE SERIOUSLY HEARD IT FROM SOMETHING ELSE
It's a pop song. It's played at the movie theatre sometimes. But I don't remember the lyrics or the name.
It reminds me of my soul
Just so we're clear, it reminds us all of something, pretty nostalgic, but none of us can actually name it XD
I love that Steam Powered Giraffe is on Spotify. :) Keep up the amazing work
Yay! One of, if not, my favorite song on this album!
I love this song!!! Yay! Old times stuff from SPG!
I love steam powered giraffe it's awesome and I'm always happy when I listen to u guys u rock!!
I have two different versions of this song on my itunes. I have this version which is straight from Album One and then I have a version with Upgrade that I got off youtube or something. I have to say that as much as I love Upgrade to bits, I prefer this version because David's harmony parts are brought out a LOT more in this version and it makes the song's over all sound 110% better.
Relying on this song today for support. Very glad it's here to listen to
i don't know why, but this song might be my favourite of the first album
I like this, I have no idea who "Rabbit, Spine, Upgrade, hatchwork and Jon" is, but the music is nice!
LOVE THIS SONG!
Love this song! It's one of the best!
Love this song I go rollerblading well lisening
Is-is Spine holding a knife and a fork in the picture?
Yes, yes he is
Is he gonna eat us?
Maybe
Run for your livesssss!
RUUUUUN!!
I woke up with this in my ear, again! Stop it! Stop making me sing about electricity being in my soul! People are starting to talk.
This is a great song!
You guys have some songs that are very reminiscent of Beatles, particularly the Abbey Road album. I love it!
+TertiusOculusOris Some of the Album One stuff I agree.
I love it and it makes me cry
me too
This is my fav song ;-) Like it so much ! tx you guys for your talant ;-)
Getting some Electric Light Opera vibes from the beginning
I love upgrade's lines, we all know which
I've heard this song somewhere before but I can't place it and it's really frustrating me.. But i absolutely love this song.
Yessss one of my other favorite SPG songs.
I m allways happy when i listen to spg😃
This sounds epic at 2x speed :D
+Supre Nova I tried it and died laughing, oh my god XD
+Supre Nova This is amazing
What even is happening right now? If the Spine's voice was an octave higher, then it'd sound like like a Chipmunk cover. Chipmunk covers suck.
I swear, you make the best comments on all SPG-related videos. Keep it up man.
A Man of the Spiral
Not a fan of nightcore that much tbh, but you really ought to not hate on
nightcore fans, they are probably a hundred times more interesting and mentally developed than you are.
This is my new favorite song by them XD
Gotta be one of my favorites
that reminds me an astronomic period that i have , i love us
In all tech understanding you cant have a electricity in your soul. its just a presence within your body.
Awesome.
Easily my favorite SPG song!
My favorite!
I wish I could find the version with Upgrade. Really enjoyed her part in this one ):
The Modern Shoe they have both versions on Spotify
Why you erase girl out of that version? That was little but very much needed snippet that i`m originally falled in love with. Whole song is great, and i really like it, but that snippet jumped me to pure love.
Its an amazing song
That's really nice! Btw, how bout some music videos? Those are always fun :D Totes understand if you're too busy tho.
I love this song💘

Nine. XP
Who cares how many dislikes there are if the song is great
It's so weird not hearing upgrades voice in this version
1:46 is that a meow?! is he singing to a cat or i'm going crazy?
David was drawing his eyebrows on before it was cool
yay album release?
This is actually quite old! Was the original version from 2008? Early 2009? :) Either way, this was recorded in 2009 for our first studio album!

Steam Powered Giraffe out of curiosity, why are you putting all your songs onto youtube?

I'm trying to find the original Album One with upgrade. Not this updated version with out upgrade I want both versions of the album.
I feel so incredibly lucky, because I was able to get my hands on a copy of their original recording of Album One with Upgrade (signed in person too!). Every time I hear this song and they get to verse 2, I expect to hear her sing and it surprises me that its not there. Kind if makes me cry inside. At some point I want to upload the Upgrade versions of the songs onto UA-cam from the disc I have.
Don’t know if you ever found it, but they have both versions of Album One on spotify, which includes Upgrades song ”I am not alone”
my definitely fav song that they have lmao
Does anyone know songs that sound similar to this? I've been looking but can't find any!
kicking myself cause i can't find the one old live version of this song i'm thinking of... recorded on an empty little black stage with a lot of those little steam noises at the beginning, where they picked the tempo up just a smidge and it RULED oh godddd i should've saved that video when i had the chance
Does 2:15 sound like boss music to anyone else.
Has SPG half hour and SPG hour stopped? Are they on a break? If someone knows would you please tell me.
it hasn't officially stopped but they haven't had time to do one lately. there should be one coming eventually
#bringbackspghour2k15
question for Steam Powered Giraffe (or any super smart fans) is there anything in the lore (on steampoweredgiraffe.com) that's talks about The Jon and Upgrade's leave? I've been looking but I can't find anything in the lore
I know that the lore behind The Jon is that he was powered on a rare crystal soda that is no longer produced, so he's traveling the world now before he runs out. I'm not sure about Upgrade, and part of me wonders if she was erased from their history.
.75% you can kinda relax with
