Music High Voltage Music

I'm currently making a mix-tape (CD) for my mrs (how old fashioned of me right?). I've done several in the past and they've always been concept albums. This one I want to make is love/affection/relationship songs that have an electrical theme. I'm looking for songs that mention:

• electricity
• lightning
• power
• charge
• anything remotely relating to electricity

So far I've got a couple. Songs include:
High Voltage - Electric Six


Powerful - Majer Lazer


Energy - Fortunes


I was hoping that you people might have some more suggestions for me. I've already found a few others, but does anyone know of more?

 

Metallica - Ride the Lightning

 

Muse - Plug In baby
Moby - Electricity
Oasis - She's Electric

 

Metallica immediately springs to mind for me - Fuel, Battery?

 

Bit cheesy perhaps but Frankie Goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love ?

Probably may not fit the bill though.

 

Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue

 

Couple of domestic abusers over here by the sounds of it

 

Charming I'm lovely, me!

I gave this some thought:

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream (reference: electric eye)
OMD - Electricity
Gary Numan/Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric
The Cult - Dark Energy
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar
Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt
Oasis - The Shock of the Lightning
Elbow - Charge
Snap! - The Power
Iron Maiden - Power Slave

Someone else's go now

 

I prefer Huey Lewis and the News - Power of Love. Good idea though.

Some other good ones I've found are

• MGMT - Electric Feel
• Borns - Electric Love

Lesser good, but still fit the bill

• Polecats - Make a circuit with me
• Buzzcocks - love battery
• Tesla - What you give (no mention of electricity, but... Tesla)

Thanks for the suggestions. Please keep them coming

 

My wife accused me of that, so I locked her back into her cage the basement

Anyway, moving on:

Crying Lightning - Arctic Monkeys
Electric Man - Mansun
Lightning Song - Queens of the Stone Age
Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) - Arcade Fire
X-Static - Foo Fighters

 

From a Simpsons episode :

Robot Parade - They Might Be Giants

 

Together in Electric Dreams. Video killed the Radiostar. Man Made (Man Parrish). Six simple synthesizers (Man Parrish).Electric Avenue (Eddy Grant).

 

Anything by ELO, Electric light orchestra.

 

Ride the Lightning and Battery were my first thoughts, but already mentioned.

Cabaret Voltaire - Spies in the wires

Joni Mitchell - Electricity

Iggy Pop - Little Electric Chair

 

Captain Beefheart - Electricity
Björk - Thunderbolt (bonus points for using a Tesla Coil as an instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AD6-NepHBI)

 

Anathema - Lightning Song

And what a song it is! In fact, I reckon that introducing Anathema to my Missus is probably what sealed the deal. They are romantic and beautiful and awesome in every way.

 

How about a whole album?

The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Electric Ladyland.

 

Or Powertrippin' - The Almighty

 

Thin lizzy - Thunder and lightning
