"Electricity" is a song by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band, from their 1967 debut album Safe as Milk.
Magic Band member Guitarist Doug Moon described the song as "hinting of things to come."
"[7] In the book Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood, "Electricity" is said to be "a very unconventional blues song".
[8] While playing "Electricity" at the Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival at Mount Tamalpais in 1967, in a warm-up performance for the Monterey International Pop Festival, Captain Beefheart abruptly stopped the song, straightened his tie, and walked off the stage, landing face-first in the grass.
[12] American post-hardcore band Racebannon covered the song on their 2002 album In the Grips of the Light.
