One hit wonders: Electronic "Getting Away With It"

Electronic - "Getting Away With It"

Electronic was a new wave "super group" of sorts that emerged in the late eighties with their only big hit barely cracking the US top 40, peaking at #38 in March of 1990. Many people mistook these guys for the Psychedelic Furs, but Electronic was fronted by Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. Rounding out the line-up was guitarist Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and Bernard Sumner (New Order). Marr claims the song pokes fun at misery magnet Morrissey, his ex-partner from The Smiths.
