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
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.
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.
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 .❤️❤️🇨🇵
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 😂
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.

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..
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 !
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.
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
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.
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!
New wave is the best the 80’s I grew up all of this song back then we mix them with boom the bass sounds great few more days it’s 2021 who is listening this music now gives a thumbs up.
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 🎶💖🎵🎼
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
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 :)
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...

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.

I was very small when my father listened to your recordings ... I grew up with these songs ... Today I buy and collect vinyl albums from various countries with your songs
Hermosísima desde hace años la vengo escuchando ya tengo 38 y hasta ahora no me canso de escucharla 😍 prendo mi cigarro y miro desde mi ventana fijamente a las estrellas escuchando y disfrutando con volumen alto este tremendo temon k jamás pasará de moda! es un hermoso tema k nos hace viajar en el tiempo nos llena de tristezas nostalgia y muchs sentimientos más encontrados 😢😢 gracias x darnos buena música y de la mejor besos desde Perú saludos 😘❤🤩💕 💯💯👍✌️🎉
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
I grew up in SGV this music was big for us Chicanos. I was born in 1988, but my older sisters raised me to listen to this. It all was takes me home. It makes me happy and sad at the same time.
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!
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 ..........
So many of the 80s are Prophetic! They’re talking about solar energy in 1980!!! And look now, today, wow, mind blown 🤯. I love the 80s music with cryptic messages and meanings. 80s ❤️ forever

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!
43 years old but still gold... man I love 80s music ❤

I grew up in the 80’s!! I’m my 50’s now (I look younger lol) but man I never thought the 80’s would be missed
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...
i´m still living in 80´s.. My body is here but my mind always Will be there...
Beautifully said.
Just bought an audi tt mk2 3.2 it reminds of the early v6 engine takes me back to the 80s.
both of us mate..the best of times, people and attitudes
52 now. 80s lovin it what a decade.

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.

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!
I was very small when my father listened to your recordings ... I grew up with these songs ... Today I buy and collect vinyl albums from various countries with your songs
Keep on building and on to your musical library ! You can never have enough Music!
This 45 is apparently quite rare. If you have it keep it.
the 80's...my life...my all
Great era now so far away
Such an underrated 80’s band in a decade of great great inventive music
OMG! It’s OMD!
These guys were ahead of their time with their experimental sounds. Loved their work!
They don't make them like that anymore. Brilliant music
this song and enola gay master pieces
Gerardo Moonreaver you omitted Souvenir, how very dare you?!
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
Y sigo, escuchando ésta música aunque ya tengo 50+. Me encanta. No pasará de moda. 👍👍
Eso no es nDa yo tengo71 y los adoro
Hermosísima desde hace años la vengo escuchando ya tengo 38 y hasta ahora no me canso de escucharla 😍 prendo mi cigarro y miro desde mi ventana fijamente a las estrellas escuchando y disfrutando con volumen alto este tremendo temon k jamás pasará de moda! es un hermoso tema k nos hace viajar en el tiempo nos llena de tristezas nostalgia y muchs sentimientos más encontrados 😢😢 gracias x darnos buena música y de la mejor besos desde Perú saludos 😘❤🤩💕 💯💯👍✌️🎉
humanity must preserve this music !
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
Humanity should preserve this world's nature
Ωραίο όνομα! 😂👌🏻
Eterna....OMD...👏👏👏
Απόλυτα σωστός!
J'avais 6 ans quand j'écoutais ce titre en boucle dans mon walkman. J'ai 48 ans et je suis toujours fan 🖤🖤🖤
I grew up in SGV this music was big for us Chicanos. I was born in 1988, but my older sisters raised me to listen to this. It all was takes me home. It makes me happy and sad at the same time.
43 years ago. 17 and my first night out with friends and this. Beautiful start for a wonderful time.
I like all music of the Orchestral Manoeuvres
I'd forgotten about this classic until the recent advert on UK television for cars......brilliant
Bring me back to the 80's. 😊
Forgotten classic.
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!
The 1980's were the British Renaissance era of music.
Lead singer has never really changed look-wise.

So many of the 80s are Prophetic! They’re talking about solar energy in 1980!!! And look now, today, wow, mind blown 🤯. I love the 80s music with cryptic messages and meanings. 80s ❤️ forever
2024 ... Shall be at their Leeds Arena concert (standing) so we can dance. Once upon a time could dance all night! Just as AM did!😂
this makes me feel nostalgic for a time I was not lucky to be a part of! This is wonderful!
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

Sir I used to go to bed with a cassette player under my pillow. This was the music I listened to, we are brothers.
Drunk and in that 80s daydream. There's no better place😃
Hace más de 35 años que no la escuchaba...¡qué recuerdos!
Top 10 😊 1980 📻📼📀💿
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
Gran música del año 1980.
En 2023 sigue sonando 🎵❤️
Para se concretos es de 1979, salio como single un 21 de mayo de 1979
