"Electricity" is the 1979 debut single by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), featured on their eponymous debut album the following year. Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys sing the lead vocals on the track together in unison. As with single "Messages" from the same album, the song features a melodic synthesizer break as opposed to a sung chorus. "Electricity" has been recognised as one of the most influential songs of its era, and has been praised by multiple recording artists.
