'Danger! High Voltage' is a song by American rock band Electric Six. It was released as the band's debut single and the lead single from their debut studio album, Fire (2003), in 2002 as a 7-inch vinyl. It was re-released by XL Recordings on January 6, 2003.[1] It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It received positive reviews from critics and was named Single of the Week by the NME.

Background[edit]

Jack White of The White Stripes, a fellow Detroit native, performed the secondary lead vocals on the track.[2] Members of the band have claimed in interviews that the singer was an auto mechanic named John S. O'Leary and not White,[3][4] although music critics suspected this name was a pseudonym for White.[5][6]

The song was originally recorded in early 2000,[7] when the band was under the name The Wildbunch. They were forced to drop this name following legal pressure from the Bristol trip hop collective of the same name.[8] The later album and single version was produced by British music producers, Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradbury—who also created club mixes under the name of Soulchild.

Critical reception[edit]

The New York Times called the song 'catchier than anything on the radio by the White Stripes.'[9]The Guardian called it 'insanely catchy', though 'the archetypal comic novelty single.'[10]Josh Tyrangiel with Time magazine also praised the track.[11]NME's Piers Martin wrote '[Electric Six] rustle up the sort of pop-party thrash which sounds like the idiot half-brother to The Rapture’s 'House Of Jealous Lovers'. That good.'[12] The song is listed at number 234 on the best songs of the 2000s by Pitchfork Media. It was also featured in The Pitchfork 500.[1] Writing for The Village Voice, Amy Phillips said, 'The two men shout declarations of affection to each other over a sizzling Saturday Night Fever groove, and the sax sounds as if it's being played by someone with a long, luscious mullet. The video features taxidermy and a glowing codpiece.'[13]

In other media[edit]

The song is also featured in films Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was used in commercials for Subaru, the TV show Malcolm in the Middle, animated series The Simpsons and the video game Forza Motorsport 6.[14]

Music video[edit]

The video for this song was produced by Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire and stars lead singer Dick Valentine and actress Tina Kanarek outfitted with a brightly flashing codpiece and bra, respectively, as well as a similarly endowed moose, engaging in acts of lovemaking. Paintings featured in the video were created by artist Brian Rea.[15]
