So I’m now 29 and just now heard this absolute banger of a song. This came out before I was born but I’m jamming here in 2023. Amazing music. I wish I grew up in these times. Thank you for this great song

One of the most amazing, fast paced and brilliant songs. Loved it from the first notes and loved it through time. Music of the 80s was amazing, timeless, ageless, but this song goes up to there to the top with all the uplifting and amazing, danceable songs that make you have fun and move to the music. So many incredible memories it brings.
@James Hodson hahaha, same, had long hair shaved on the sides, that was back in the 80s as well, just turned 57 and still feel the same when I hear this music. Pleasure to meet you James. - Jake.
@James Hodson :) :) Same, same, we have been to many Rush concerts and once to AC/DC, enjoyed my very fist concert Styx, and then got into sympth 80s music, new wave and loved it all through the end of 80s and even now. Love all kinds of music and still listen to most of it. Even went to Rush concert before Neil Peart passed. Still put on an incredible show, as they have before. Saw Depeche mode as well about 15 years ago.
@James Hodson Nice, yeh, we saw Rush about 4 or 5 times and AC / DC in the MSG, great show. Saw Depeche Mode more than I can count, once in Radio City Music Hall. Amazing show, because we were very close to the stage on that one. Latest saw Depeche Mode some years ago, recently on Jones Beach. Very nice show and was so nostalgic.
this songs makes me feel incredibly nostalgic...it brings me back so many memories, but mostly feelings. it's incredible how a single piece of music can make you feel things all over again.
Έλα πατρίδα!!! Πόσο χάρηκα που το είδα σε μια διαφήμιση εδώ στην Ελλάδα.. Τελευταία βάζουν ωραία τραγούδια στις διαφημίσεις, τι Moloko, τι Irene Cara, τώρα αυτό..
Fun fact: most of the instrumets on this track are from the 60's: a Vox Jaguar organ, a Fender Jazz bass and a Selmer Pianotron electric piano (aka Weltmeister Claviset) playing the main melody. The other ones are the synth drums and Korg synth lead in the bridge, wich give away the era in wich this tune was recorded (1979)
The Korg M-500 did the lead and the high hat was actually the Korg in white noise mode, as was the Pssh pssh sound at the start. I have the same synth.
Actually you’re wrong about the bass. This version was recorded for their debut album which was released in 1980. In this version he plays a spray painted fender jazz bass but in the 1979 version he plays a left handed Wilson rapier bass.
Hello love this song a lot just like you. Very nice sound. I just wanna randomly suggest another song i just found out recently. Perhaps you like it just as i like it :) Its called Kas:st - Hell on earth. I think you should give it a chance. although its a different style completely. It still hits me with beautiful emotions just as this song does to me. Have a nice day
Orchestral manoeuvre vous étiez toute ma jeunesse ❤️👍. C'était les meilleurs années. Merci pour les beautés que vous chantiez et surtout le bonheur que vous nous avez apporté .❤️❤️🇨🇵
I’ll be honest I first heard this song today on Virgin Radio whilst at work, I am absolutely blown away by how good it is and that it’s nearly 40 years old. SO GOOD!
Dig in to their early stuff ( All of it ) they were so far ahead of their time and don't sleep on the Junk Culture album either. This band paved the way for so many synth bands. Legendary band.
They were from the legendary Eric's scene in Liverpool, 1977-1980. The scene that also produced Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, The Mighty Wah, Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Pete Burns (Dead or Alive), Ian Broudie (Original Mirrors and later, The Lightning Seeds). And like all the great British scenes of that time, the spark that ignited it was the Sex Pistols.
It was rather like the Blitz kids in London, with Rusty Egan, Visage, Culture Club and Boy George, Midge Ure and Ultravox, Spandau Ballet...all inspired by a mix of Bowie and Kraftwerk...great times.
My mum knew Andy McCluskey. She was friends with a girl he used to date when they were in high school. My mum didn’t expect his singing career to take off and was shocked when OMD started hitting the charts 😂
I had been searching for this since the early 1990s, where this was featured in a documentary about the Hungarian Civil Defense! Since then it crossed my path once in a documentary about mineral waters, still without a title/band name, but finally I got this ticked :) After 30 years... Thank you, Internet!
OMD, they are still OMG after all this time. Electricity. Don't you you just LOVE the old songs, especially when you can remember them in concert, way back wht.
J'étais une enfant lorsque j'ai eu le plaisir d'entendre à la radio pour la première fois Enola Gay et cette chanson. Je les aime toujours autant. Merci à Orchestral Manœuvres In The Dark.
Oh but we are. We are cherishing it. Keeping relics in our houses called vinyls. We are preserving their memories in our hearts and spreading it to everyone else
The boys were far ahead of their time. Seen them in Belfast this week and they were absolutely amazing. What a concert ! Place went mad when this came on as well !
My sister and I just saw them last Wednesday...they were GREAT. They did "Electricity" as the final song. I mean they still sound great after all these years 🎶💖🎵🎼
Words that are relevant today in the midst of global warming. Beautiful sound and visionary song at the time. (from France) Des paroles qui sont d'actualité de nos jours en plein réchauffement climatique. Beau son et chanson visionnaire à l'époque.
Je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir retrouvé ce son que j'avais oublié et qui m'avait pourtant toujours transporté ailleurs, la mélodie est simplement magique...
Je disais à mes parents mais j’adore cette musique, ma mère répond mais je l’ai sur un album , c’est OMD . C’est leur jeunesse mais suis fan a 22 ans . Que du bon son avec enola gay

Just found out I have a 30 year old daughter from my 1st GF (my name is not really Jaclyn Jordan...), and also that said mom passed 3 years ago. This was our music back then. Thank you, Nicole, for helping make a man out of me, and for giving me this incredible gift 30 years later. I am overwhelmed with sorrow and joy at once. I couldn't love you then Nicci - I love you now. Rest in peace you sweet, sweet girl.
God Bless you and your daughter and loved ones we have to Love one another and show our love while we have time on Earth we do not know what tommorow can bring so we have to strive to make the Best we can out of it.
I was born 1973, so I was only 6 when this came out. But somehow hearing this just makes me think its 7.30 am and I am having breakfast before primary school. I can actually smell my cornflakes and burnt toast :)
The whole 80's had all these gems,and this is why the 80's was the best era ever...you dont get this beautiful music today unfortunately! Simplistic 🔥 tracks and a groove ya couldnt sit down too..thats the UK INVASION of clubs "The NewWave"..we thank you 🤜🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧🤛🏼💯🥂

For all of us who lived in the 80s we are obsessed by this period. It was so powerful that we never get over it. We are hunted by this spirit and whatever we do we want to go back in time.... Nothing is the same with today's world. All the innocence and romantism is lost
OMD reminds me of being in Paris aged 17, I had a few tapes with me and played them over and over in my room after class. They were my life savers ,all these songs still sound just as fresh many years later! Lots of memories ....❤️we were spoilt for choice in the 80’s/90’s! 🎸🎷🎺🎻🎹🎤💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽Cheers for these tunes!
Está música lo imitó un grupo !!!! Lo imitó igualito , me loqueo escuchando con mis patas en un barsito tomando mis chelitas !!!!!!! Es una de mis favoritas ..........
That's great to hear that this video brings back memories from your youth! It's amazing how music can evoke such powerful emotions. By the way, if you're into outdoor camping or value quality family time, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution that can keep your devices running for extended periods. Check it out!

Before Greta was even born ha. Global warming an we’ve still done sod all about it. Oh sorry I stand corrected. We don’t buy so many plastic shopping bags now do we? That’ll save the day
If you told me this song came out 1980 or 2010 I'd believe you either way. This is an absolute banger that paved the way for so much of what you hear today
There was this big club in Boston and they would play this song right before the band got on the stage so you knew to run to the stage and get crushed for the next 2 hours
Por fin!!!! No sabía el nombre de esta rola ni quien la tocaba!!!! Con esta rola me vienen recuerdos de mi infancia... recuerdos de mis hermanos que las escuchaban!!!! SE ME PONE LA PIEL DE GALLINA AL ESCUCHARLA!!!! ESTA SI ES MUSICA!!!!
Who's listening to this masterpiece 2024?🤘

🎉 cool!
Loved this song in the 90‘s… now i‘m 47… 🫢
they're on tour early next year; tickets are on sale tomorrow (22nd Sept). Got mine in the pre-sale. :)
The 80's were an outstanding time to grow up in.
Don't stop with this song, check out their whole collection. I have just started my second. Had the last collection stolen. AWESOME!
They sounded so 80s before the 80s had even started. Good tune.
They followed on from Kraftwerk.
Like Gary Numan ...ahead of the times
in music, the 80s started in 1978-79, and ended in 1988.
it was the promise of a new era. it was the hope of a future made of progress.
@@Citadin Beautiful times. I was still in college, in MS. Never forget those parties & great times in New Orleans. Forever engraved...
Lyrics:
Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity

Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity
Our one source of energy

All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity
Electricity
Electricity

SO GOOD!

Welcome to the fabulous OMD. Souvenir is my all time favourite song 😊 hardly any words just a fabulous tune.
Dig in to their early stuff ( All of it ) they were so far ahead of their time and don't sleep on the Junk Culture album either. This band paved the way for so many synth bands. Legendary band.
Its a sacrilege ! How dare you have not heard it before ?
Ooh the humanity !!!
there are maybe 50 songs from the same era that are as good, and another 100 that are almost as good. You're in for a treat.
They were from the legendary Eric's scene in Liverpool, 1977-1980. The scene that also produced Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, The Mighty Wah, Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Pete Burns (Dead or Alive), Ian Broudie (Original Mirrors and later, The Lightning Seeds). And like all the great British scenes of that time, the spark that ignited it was the Sex Pistols.
You deserve a like for all that research
Spent many weekends in Erics late 70s onwards
It was rather like the Blitz kids in London, with Rusty Egan, Visage, Culture Club and Boy George, Midge Ure and Ultravox, Spandau Ballet...all inspired by a mix of Bowie and Kraftwerk...great times.
My mum knew Andy McCluskey. She was friends with a girl he used to date when they were in high school.

I just spent almost an hour looking for this song, only remembering the music and not the lyrics. I can die happy now lmao
I had the same problem when looking for " Curious Electric.", by Anderson and Vangelis.
Lmao i was searching for a song every since 2017 i found it a couple days ago
I just 6 hours singing the tune to everyone not knowing any of the words in hope of finding it, never felt so happy finally coming across it at last

The last three new OMD albums (History of Modern, English Electric, Punishment of Luxury) are definitely a return to this type of goodness.
@@jeringodtv and souvenir & Joan of arc,...
Luckily there is not very much truth to that. Plenty of acts today are making music that is based in songs just like this one

This 45 is apparently quite rare. If you have it keep it.
I was a teen and I felt in love with OMD's "Enola Gay" song. So I bought the 45-rpm disk record.
I listened to it over and over without getting tired of it and without caring about side B song.
Finally one day I looked at side B whose title was "Electricity". The title looked mean and trivial but I listened to the song.
It was magic and wander. In my opinion this is the true masterpiece.
Love this song!!!.
See you in oakland
When I was, I don't know.... 10 I was listening this...... on, a casset player with my parents. Sory for my english. I'm drunk righrt now
Drunk is good sometimes..!
Your not the only one who was listening to it on a cassette lol 2020
That's alright buddy
Sir I used to go to bed with a cassette player under my pillow. This was the music I listened to, we are brothers.

never gets old. It actually feels like it exists in it's own time
It makes me happy that a little forgotten gem like this from 1980 can still attract 2.6m views.

I still have this greatest hits cassette I got as a gift in the late 80s
J'avais 6 ans quand j'écoutais ce titre en boucle dans mon walkman. J'ai 48 ans et je suis toujours fan 🖤🖤🖤
I was released in 1972 and this song has aged better
lol 😂
Yeeeeaaaahhhh! 80's one of the best times in music, I just like this song a lot.
Ronaldo Salinas this was released in the '70s dumbass.
Really the discovery of the Synth, the 80s were total awesominity!
This song is in my top five of all time
Me too....and Im a Zeppelin die hard. Oh, wrong room - sorry. Saw em both tho!!
What's the other four?
Waking up on Jupiter Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody.... Boston- More than a feeling... Pink Floyd- Great Gig in The Sky
the music is perfect
@@wakinguponjupiter7505 I Die: You Die by Gary Numan is up there; Alice by The Sisters of Mercy; A Forest by The Cure and Black Heart by Marc and the Mambas...though I've five other equally good candidates for my "Desert Island Discs"
For all of us who lived in the 80s we are obsessed by this period. It was so powerful that we never get over it. We are hunted by this spirit and whatever we do we want to go back in time.... Nothing is the same with today's world. All the innocence and romantism is lost
OMD reminds me of being in Paris aged 17, I had a few tapes with me and played them over and over in my room after class. They were my life savers ,all these songs still sound just as fresh many years later! Lots of memories ....❤️we were spoilt for choice in the 80’s/90’s! 🎸🎷🎺🎻🎹🎤💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽Cheers for these tunes!
Hopefully Hundreds of years from now people can appreciate this song
this makes me feel nostalgic for a time I was not lucky to be a part of! This is wonderful!
Synth and bass is stupendous. God bless the 80s.
I like all music of the Orchestral Manoeuvres
mas de 12 años buscando esta cancion QUE TEMA GENIAL!!!!
Está música lo imitó un grupo !!!! Lo imitó igualito , me loqueo escuchando con mis patas en un barsito tomando mis chelitas !!!!!!!
Es una de mis favoritas ..........
te compredo, yo igual pero lo descubri hace tiempo en el año 2000 aprox
Yo más de 20 años buscándola y apenas la encontré
Mega genial... Ufff!!! Qué poder!!!!
Thank God I was born in 1971 growing up listening to music like this 😉
La créativité de cette période toute ma jeunesse j'adore c'est le seul cadeau de cette période pour moi merci les artistes❤
Idem Isabelle
That's great to hear that this video brings back memories from your youth! It's amazing how music can evoke such powerful emotions. By the way, if you're into outdoor camping or value quality family time, I highly recommend the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It's a versatile and powerful backup power solution that can keep your devices running for extended periods. Check it out!

☆LONG LIVE THE 80'S☆
Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity
Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
The lyrics seem prescient.
Wow amazing words, spot on aswell
Thks 4 lyrics, Yahis
Before Greta was even born ha. Global warming an we’ve still done sod all about it. Oh sorry I stand corrected. We don’t buy so many plastic shopping bags now do we? That’ll save the day
Frighteningly accurate
Such a pure sound, timeless.
There will never exist a better era for music than the 80’s and 60’s
Alguien en el 2020 escuchando este clásico?

The UK produced the most amazing music in the 20th century. God bless them!
Such an underrated 80’s band in a decade of great great inventive music
Y sigo, escuchando ésta música aunque ya tengo 50+. Me encanta. No pasará de moda. 👍👍
Eso no es nDa yo tengo71 y los adoro
my favorite song about electricity.
the best of this group
I also like 'Electricity' by Captain Beefheart. Both are outstanding songs about electricity, for all those electricity song lovers out there.
Ha! And “Make a Circuit with Me”-Polecats
Mine is Silk City ft Dua Lipa’s Electricity. ⚡️
@@idontthink don’t even mention that
Love when a tune is so catchy you don't need to hear it repeat to know you want to hear it again, first time hearing it instant fave
Someone 2024? ❤
Still listening ... 2024 ❤
Good song to play when you have to wake up early for work. Adding it to my "Wake the Fuck Up" playlist.
Goddamn, more than 4 years passed from this comment.
did it wake you yet?
Peter Jackson they’ve been asleep for YEARS
Tracy.3 did it work?
Very nice. It worked for me.
I was born 1991 and I was torched by my parents with 80's. Thanks to them for bringing me up with such good music!!
Same :)
1991 me too lad.
The Chanel ad brought them back to my memory. Great!
😍😍🤩🤩
the 80's...my life...my all
Great era now so far away
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I always went ham at the goth club on 80’s nights when this song was almost always played.
If you told me this song came out 1980 or 2010 I'd believe you either way. This is an absolute banger that paved the way for so much of what you hear today
Only it is far better than anything you hear on the radio today. This song is a masterpiece
@@matthewwhitty4380 you should listen to more music...
There was this big club in Boston and they would play this song right before the band got on the stage so you knew to run to the stage and get crushed for the next 2 hours
Wow, i love 80's music, but, i have never heard this song before, sounds amazing, i love it.
Por fin!!!! No sabía el nombre de esta rola ni quien la tocaba!!!! Con esta rola me vienen recuerdos de mi infancia... recuerdos de mis hermanos que las escuchaban!!!! SE ME PONE LA PIEL DE GALLINA AL ESCUCHARLA!!!! ESTA SI ES MUSICA!!!!
Eu tbm banda muito boa omd
As an electrical engineer, particularly for high voltage stuff, this is and ever has been my anthem!!!!!!!!!!
My wife says the same and she only gets out of bed for 425K!
Is in the west standard voltage for the output of turbogenerator 24000B?
Blutjung und haben Geschichte geschrieben und meine Jugend geprägt ! Danke für alles ! Bis heute ich würde gern die Uhr zurück drehen ! Meine Helden !
Forgotten classic.
I love how he plays the bass without Electricity...!
You don't need electricity to play bass, only to amplify it!
@@SpeccyMan yeah which is plugged into electricity
OMD.... Que banda CRJ.... Ahí comenzó mi 💓xlos 80's.
🇵🇪
I'd forgotten about this classic until the recent advert on UK television for cars......brilliant
Hell yeah! Bought the cassette Best of OMD in 88 and still got it 36 years later and it plays! 🎉
