It amazes me that a song that is an album track from the 90's is still so popular. She's Electric is great but is still so popular - in fact it was (it isn't at the moment) on the 'popular' list on Oasis's spotify page. Does anyone have any idea why it is so popular? It seems strange that a non-single is quite so huge

It definitely is very popular and well known in the UK at least. I quite often hear it on TV and when I'm out and about.
I'd probably say it's the most well known song on Morning Glory after the 6 singles.

It's very popular here in Ireland too, it gets regular play on almost all the big stations here. It's also my girlfriends favourite song on Morning Glory.

Every guy that I know who looks like this is in love with that song. And there are plenty of them all around the world.

I didn't know it was so popular. It definitely is in my experience. I tend to hear She's Electric more than I do at least a third of the officially released singles.

The intro's to die for.
The melody is bouncy and catchy. But then the chorus hits Am7 and there's just this hint of wistfulness in an otherwise fun melody and the song just becomes something... More.
The lyrics are brilliant and Liam's delivery captures the playfulness the lyrics are going for.
The arrangement (electric, acoustic, piano) and Noel's backing vocals recall the Beatles more than most other Oasis tunes other than Roll With It and Go Let It Out. Not that the song sounds LIKE any particular Beatles tune, but the audio cues are there, and our own nostalgia responds to them.
It's just an amazing piece of magic from Noel, and though it was overshadowed by Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova when MG was released, it's one of those songs kids will be covering when Noel's 80. And he'll think they're all shit.

For me one of the most Beatlesesque Oasis songs. I've hooked a few people onto Oasis by playing them this song as an intro to the band.

Great melody, great production, great lyrics and a nice tune between heavier songs, what's not to love ?
a bit like Macca's Beatles tunes like Maxwell Silver Hammer or When i'm sixty four.
Same goes for Digsy's Dinner or Bonehead's Bank Holiday. Great tunes.
I wish Noel had written more of these.

I used to love She's Electric but now, I just think it's ok. I mean, don't get me wrong it's a sing-along but it feels a little empty

Probably something to do with the happy, bouncy, narrative qualities of the song. People relate to it.

Love 'She's Electric', it's fun; however, I prefer 'He's Electric', which I wrote for Beady’s Here Now. God bless.

A band did a great version of this at a wedding I was at last Saturday, everyone was singing and dancing along. Great, fun tune.

It is very popular in Spain too. When I met my girlfriend she said it was her favourite song, I told her it is a strange choice which surprised her because she thought it was the most popular after Wonderwall.
