Default Electric - AC/DC inspired song

Hi all,

Been doing a lot of AC/DC covers recently so I got inspired to write a song in that vein.... complete with the dirty innuendos:

https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-linton5/electric

LYRICS:
You know you have the power over me
Pure electricity
Such a well-built power source
Sparks are flying, I feel your force

I can feel the waves of power flow
I’m heating up, my resistance is low

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Oh, how I love your power lines
Power source for a little friend of mine
Just when my charge is running low
Your power me up, and I’m good to go

Two power sources set to merge
Oh baby, can you feel the power surge

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Come on baby
Shock me one more time
Make me feel alive

SOLO

I’m running into overload
Plug in the socket, baby, watch it explode

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Oh baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
I’m heating up, baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Let the sparks fly, baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Plug in the socket, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Power lines, it’s electric
(It’s electric)

Very convincing, although the solo should have had four times as many notes squeezed into it

Hey Jon I listened on my phone so can't say much about mix.
The song is cool, I enjoyed it, it moved well, then we get to the solo bit, I'm ready for it, I feel like I know where we're going, waiting for it to kick in....
Damn !
Liked the tune, felt a little cheated without a bit of fire in the solo section.

Over all great job as always.
Look forward to the next track.

Great job. I loved it too but I agree with the other commenters here. I was waiting for an Angus type lead but it wasn't included.

Everything sounded great over all though.

Nice work. Very laid back and cruisy. I think the solo fits the song well. The mix also sounds good. There could have been more variation between the chorus and verse but overall, despite not really being what I would normally listen to, it sounds like a quality version of what it is, if that makes sense.

wow, u got a lot of great sounds and the mix and playing is great. The vocals are incredibly good. Honestly, if u hadnt told us it was an original, i wouldnt know it wasnt an ac/dc song. I dont think i know ALL of their songs. i couldve easily assumed it was one of theirs done by a very very good cover band. that being said, since it is so close it doesnt feel all that original to me.

but i totally respect your skillz!!!

hi-hat at times a bit obnoxious
bass guitar somehow week (I am really biased towards bass guitars)
drums sound loud and powerful overall though
guitars are good, maybe a bit lacking "bite" but not crucial
vocalist is really good

yes, the song is 1:1 AC\DC
