If you don't know, Electric Co.
I have been singing this song for years and the only thing I could come up with as to its meaning was that they were somehow huge fans of The Electric Company (a kids show broadcast on PBS when I was growing up). To quote Lloyd Christmas, “I was way off!”
Turns out this song is about Electric Convulsion Therapy. Who knew? Well now we are at back to back songs that I have no way of relating to at this point of my life.
The Electric Company (the PBS TV show) was cool though. I remember the opening credits…
Ah, memories. This show (and Sesame Street) were staples in my childhood TV diet. Sadly, I only remember the opening credits really. I could probably drone on and on about other TV shows here (I can admit that I just won an eBay auction for the first 2 seasons of The Facts of Life) but I think I will just end with admitting my embarrassment of not knowing the true meaning of this song having sung along with it for 25+ years.
