Electric Feel (MGMT cover) Lyrics

all along the western front
people line up to receive
she got the current in her hand
just shock you like you won't believe
sun in the amazon
with the voltage running through her skin
standing there with nothing on
she gonna teach me how to swim

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel
i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

all along the eastern shore
put your circuits in the sea
this is what the world is for
making electricity
you can feel it in your mind
oh you can do it all the time
plug it in, change the world
you are my electric girl

i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel
i said ooh girl
shock me like an electric eel
baby girl
turn me on with your electric feel

do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now
do what you feel now
electric feel now

Cover art for Electric Feel (MGMT cover) lyrics by Katy Perry

when did she do this song?

not sure. Someone posted a remix cd on LJ (the one where they pick random songs for either just a character or a couple) and they had this song on the tracklist but it not up anymore sadly. I had to get my computer fix which erase all my music and i tried downloading it again but the person took the cd mix down.

She has. It's an acoustic version I think.

It's an authorised copy from the BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" show, where they get an artist to perform one of their own songs and a cover (chosen by the host btw bunnys_speak_words)live on national radio. I think you can view the sessions on line somewhere if anyone's curious.

I don't think its too bad really. I love the original song, but she has a decent vocal range and puts a sweet spin on it. As is quite normal with LL covers, they're either good, or horrendous, I'd imagine it's a little easier to start...

Honestly, "Electric Feel" is one of the few songs off MGMT's first full-length album I didn't enjoy as much, it just has a lot less going for it throughout the song than their other pieces. I think Perry's version flows a lot smoother and is a more mellow, which is something I don't mind hearing from a pop-artist. I can also understand the lyrics, and the extra guitar, synth,

synth, & bass parts are easier to pick up on (of course; it's acoustic). Not to mention the vocals for this song are amazing. I enjoy hearing more of her range without auto-tuning.

I HATE that she covered this song. There is no need to cover a song, when the original band only had this one album out, and this was one of their singles. I think she did a terrible job at it, as it does not capture the same feel of the song at all in any way. I'm so disappointed.
