The second we heard that mechanical voice at the beginning go "Electicity", we raced our ass to the skate floor because we knew it was ass shakin' time. This was the motherfucking JAM and that breakdown in the middle with the breathing had the asses shakin' from wall to wall.

Give it up dammitt!

I'm an unashamed Wham! fan. I love "Young Guns" all the way to "The Edge of Heaven".

I mix those two all the time. They sound great together. As for "Cold Blooded" by Rick James, that one sounds good mixed with "Pilot Error" by Stephanie Mills. From the "Cold Blooded" breakdown, fade in the opening drums from "Pilot Error" up until the explosion. Ass shakin' time!

Jealousy was the shit especially that guitar solo at the end.

You do realize that Electricity came out a year BEFORE Operator, right? Electricity was on No Parking on the Dance Floor from 1983 and Operator was on Planetary Invasion from 1984. Electricity was definitely the better of those two.

This is the stuff.
