"She's Electric" sits ninth on Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, released in October 1995, but it's older than that: it was meant for Definitely Maybe until the band swapped in "Digsy's Dinner", reckoning that one worked better live. Noel Gallagher's lyric spins a cheeky little story, Liam sings it and pushes up into falsetto, and the verse borrows its melody and bass line from "Lady Madonna", just shifted into another key. It's a music-hall knees-up with a grin on its face.
Noel produced it with Owen Morris, who also recorded it, and Noel is all over the tape: bass, electric guitar, piano, mellotron and ebow, with Paul Arthurs doubling on guitar and piano, Alan White on drums and percussion, and Liam shaking the tambourine.
