"Electricity" is one of my favorite songs by OMD. Electricity is a single by the New Wave and elec pop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It is notable for having been recorded numerous times. The earliest versions are live recordings by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys' previous group, The Id. The song is one of the OMD's most popular and recognizable songs even though it never became a hit. The three attempts at scoring a hit only achieved the lowly (but significant for the group at the time) #99 in 1979. "Electricity" would later appear on OMD's debut album and is regularly featured on OMD compilations.
All incarnations of the "Electricity" single were backed by the B-side and fellow debut album track "Almost." T
his song was inspired by The Teardrop Explodes' song "Camera, Camera" and the Kraftwerk song "Radioactivity."
I know how to play this song on my Casio. The chords are A, F, C and G.
