When John Partridge was done the mic had a cigarette

This is IMO the best version of AC/DC. Its sultry and sexy which was the point of the character, trying to lure peoples' allegiance from the diesel train and the steam train. Beautiful version of the song

Agreed, out of all the AC/DC covers, this is the best. Especially when he has the echo during the middle....

Electra's polycule hyping him up

Oh my God it's John Partridge!

That’s the BEST Version!!! I love Electras Voice here 😍😍😍😍

John Partridge, I want to marry your voice.

Electra sounds like a, "Rock n Roll Train." Powered by, "High Voltage," storming down the rails along the, "Highway to Hell," ringing his, "Hells Bells," doing, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." He's a, "Problem Child."

When I was a kid I thought it was just about an electric train, & years later discovered it was about bi-sexuality . . . I felt rather silly lol

That voice I can't even

I'm not even gonna comment on the eargasm that is John Partridge's voice, but I am incredibly intrigued by the voices of Wrench and Volta and equally disappointed that there's no more solo lines by them.

very great Electra! buitiful voice

Love this! To me, a very sexy song, even though I didn't think so when I was 12 and first listened to it.

Electra’s voice is so smooth and he sounds hot

John Partridge is just beautiful

There is nothing I can say about Johnny partridge that wouldn't be completely disrespectful to say out loud! 😉 I would wreck this man😍

I won't go into debate which version I love simply because I love both for various reasons!!! But, I'd love to play Electra one day, or Rusty, or Greeseball or any male part in this show honestly I'd be happy regardless. I was not too surprised when I learned the puns of this tune but I don't care I'd still belt it out for fun or in an audition. I mean if Tim Curry is secure enough in his masculinity rot belt Sweet Transvestite then anyone can do it to that or this song!!! Plus I like John as a singer this and his Tugger are two of my favorites.

It’s definitely better in terms of sound and the songs are less slow. This was the first version I ever saw, so I may be a tad biased 😆

its meant to be both, according to Weber.

Personally, I prefer the old version. But this one is neat too.

it's about both. that's the thing about puns.

This was the cast when I saw it in London!

I got cast as Electra!!! :D

Oh wow also just learned that I've been listening for a song about being bi since I was 5.

I love john partridge

i hate the way the autotune on electra sounds but i think "HE'S GOT A GUN" is so fuckin funny

It's both. The Electra in the MK production was definitely swinging both ways!

Is it just me or at 2:18 does Electra sound like he's saying "set you on Fiowa"
