Seems the lyric about 26 tons of iron ore weighed more than the ship idid when empty-s most foreboding early on in the ship's perilous journey.😢😢😢

When Gordan Lightfoot passed the Mariner’s Cathedral in Detroit rang its bell 30 times in remembrance of the 29 that died on the Edmond Fitzgerald and Mr Lightfoot. There is a video on RUclips that has it. The people at the Cathedral praise Gordon and think they would not be around if it was not for his song. People still come to see the place as a result.

I always thought this was a cheapo jingle in a PC World advert. Now I know it is just a cheapo jingle.

Best drums (and lyrics!) ever.

I’m 71 now and must have been brain dead until very late in life, never paid attention to much. This song touches my heart, how sad😢❤

Electric is chosen trick. Willy is the blame 4 this country

I think the most wonderful tribute to this great musician was ringing the bell thirty times in his honour when he passed away. 🇬🇧

rockin city like philadelphia.. the place where I was born.👇

My mom, a huge Gordon Lightfoot fan, would listen to this song many times (beats me as to why; probably likes the song’s beat or something). But because I’m prone to getting nauseous, I always listen to my own music because the earbuds helps me feel better. All these years I’ve never bothered even asking about this song. But after the first few lyrics were played in a Family Guy episode, I had to check it out. Such a sad story

I absolutely LOVE this damn song. 9/17/24

I’m told Electric Avenue was the first neighborhood in Johannesburg, South Africa to get wired for electric power. Apart-hate, I mean Apartheid, was still official government policy in South Africa when this song came through on MTV in the 1980s. A little white boy like me in those days was surrounded by racism at all levels: A.) My Northern Anglo-American parents had no beef with dark skin, but they also had no apparent affinity with Black culture. B.) My Southern schoolmates and schoolteachers were prone to episodes of extremely overt racism, like calling me “N-lover” for little or no reason or teaching us that a certain peculiar institution was justified by white folks’ inability to work in the hot sun-and then paddling me for asking “So where does the term ‘Redneck’ come from?” C.) Between those two wells of racism (home and school), National Lampoon magazines and movies were the gold standard of raunchy comedy to us kids.😅 I cherish this song! “Electric Avenue” is a work of genius! To have gotten this message to the masses through a medium as Capitalist as MTV, Eddie Grant must be nothing short of a GOD 👑

wow

I always thought the lyrics used to be "Don't do Electric Avenue." instead of "Down to Electric Avenue".

Who else is listening in 2024 🎉😅❤👋👋👋💕💕💕

Reminds me of summer time at the carnival riding the rides vack in the 90s

Driving with my old man in the car and i always sought out his Eddy Grant album, this a core memory :')

I like vids that only have lyrics! You have a typo in the text, just sayin'. It's not the "good ship and true", it's the "good ship and crew". I'm not being mean, I'm just being too picky.

I've seen this come up for basically as long as I've listened to music on RUclips and I'm just now listening to it. That was _really_ good!

The last sound in the serie Billions..sounds great

Old but gold!!!

Then: damn this is a good song Now: FRIZZLEBOTTOM WE MUST GATHER THE MCDONALD'S SPRITE FOR THE BUTTERJUICE POTION

To my girl 142842 you know who you are ❤❤❤

For me, this brings the wonderful nostalgia of waking up for 9th grade watching MTV. Remember when they played music lol, especially the mornings was the best! I miss those days

Thankyou Gordon for your beautiful talents you have left behind.

In my mind, this is one of the most well written songs I've ever heard.

We had it made back then. Now everything has turned to shit.

Should be a ray of sunshine not a ray of sugar😂
