21. More Talking Heads: Electric Guitar

22. And my iTunes library tells me I have a track by The Notwist called Electric Bear, which I can't place but has a wonderful name.

I'm trying to decide if Electricana Banana is going to be allowed in at 23, even though the song is technically called Mellow Yellow.

24) "Electric Avenue", Eddy Grant
25) "She's Electric", Oasis (bluergh...)

26. Electric Counterpoint - Steve Reich
27. Electric Rodeo - Shooter Jennings
28. The Electric Co. - U2

Also are foreign words for "electricity" allowed? I was thinking of "Strom" by Kraftwerk.

29. A Frames, Electricity
30. Hood, Abstracting Electricity
31. I am Robot and Proud, The Electricity in Your House Wants to Sing

Electric Avenue

HOW DID I FORGET THIS? Me and my cousin once spent what felt like a whole summer (though it was probaby only a couple of days) listening to it and perfecting dubious Eddy Grant impressions.

Then there was the very weird morning when I was on my own at the gym when it got stuck on repeat. There aren't many songs I'd have listened to five times in a row before going to find someone who knew where the CD player lived.

Damn, I'm going to listen to that RIGHT NOW.

Incidentally -- and I can't believe anyone would care, but then this is ILM -- Eddy Grant becomes the 1400th artist to be added to my Last.fm profile.

It was used recently for a Currys commercial ("At Currys we know how to sell you cheap stuff that will burn out 0.36 seconds after the extended warranty we talked you into expires!")

32. Raymond Scott - Baltimore Gas & Electric Co.
33. Servotron - Electrical Power Sources For the Electrocution and Extinction of the Human Race...

34. Electricity in Our Homes

35. Stereolab, Self Portrait with "electric brain"

36. Tangerine Dream, "Electric Lion"

Hehehe, I was cheating and looking at my last.fm, and apparently I've listened to a track called 'Electricity is a Scarce Commodity' by a band called The Fun Years three times. I have no idea what this song is.

But it is 37.

38) Sisters of Mercy - Body Electric

(i really thought that Stereolab would have more on this!)

39. Electricity (the Avalanches)
40. Bruce Haack - Electric Lucifer (which by the way I recently discovered is all up for free listening on last.fm, in case anyone hasn't heard it)

41. Prefab Sprout - Electric Guitars

42. Gila - Free Electric Sound
43. Sun Electric

44. The Electric Banana (Pretty Things pseudonym)

45. Wayne County and the Electric Chairs

46. Electric Warrior - T-Rex

47. ROBOTVILLE, 'GO ELECTRIC' FROM ILX COMP VOL. 3

i don't remember who this is, tho!
