http://www.acme.com/jef/singing_science/electricity-160.mp3

[url=http://www.acme.com/jef/singing_science/]From a six-LP set of science-themed folk songs for my sister and me. They were produced in the late 1950s / early 1960s by Hy Zaret and Lou Singer. The Singing Science lyrics were very Atomic Age, while the tunes were generally riffs on popular or genre music of the time.[/a]

The Electric Slide

just to be pedantic and all, the song is actually "electric boogie," by marcia griffiths. (unless someone else did it earlier, i'm not sure.)

us_odd_bunny_lady (tipsy mothra), Sunday, 12 July 2009 03:52 (fifteen years ago)

just a line, not a song, but "the ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face" deserves a mention.
