9:30 Coffee Break: It's Electric

January 09, 2013

National Static Electricity Day is celebrated on January 9th. Why do we need a national day for static electricity? Why is the sky blue? There are answers but you're probably better off just not knowing. A better question to ask is, what does static electricity have to do with the Coffee Break?

It's our Coffee Break theme today. We want to hear your suggestions for songs that mention electricity to help celebrate National Static Electricity Day.

Songs Played:

MGMT - "Electric Feel"

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark - "Electricity"

Electric Six - "Danger! High Voltage"

Ramones - "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment"

Dressy Bessy - "Electrified"

Oasis - "Shock of the Lightning"
