Cory Wong, hardest working man in show business.

[@Tidwillshare]

He's the highest output artist I know! No wonder he needs this power station

[@Nannada1212]

He works harder than most KZbinrs, just by editing all his stuff. Not to mention the lifetime of work to play music this well

[@Metrofern]

As an Electrical Engineer that also plays slap bass in a Funk Band, this song speaks to me on a whole 'nother level. I'm ready for a whole public utility-themed album...

[@WhiskerWhippers]

Maybe they will cover Wichita Lineman lol

[@heytheredollfacex]

Yes 🤩

[@leonardstone3072]

hell yeah metrofern is one of my favorite bands! I see a wongnotes collab in the future

[@ericgelders]

😂 excellent comment!

[@OneSneakySloth]

Can’t wait for “Wastewater treatment plant” 😂

[@rubes4624]

I’ve never followed an artist as entertaining as Cory is

[@ConquerorsCrossroads]

absolutely true

[@IcarusNadir]

Devin Townsend comes close ;)

[@ZachC20]

Reggie Watts my dear brother, if you love entertaining....look no further. Love Cory Wong

[@barofsoap3795]

Or talented

[@Alisha1686]

I'm telling you 😂😂😂. That's what I love about this band and Cory. You can feel that they LOVE what they do 😊

[@0justBETHANY]

The way he tilts his guitar to activate his Star Power like in Guitar Hero. LOVE!

[@JustSnowglow]

Cory equipped the whole band with shades from Petar's personal collection and now they're too powerful!

[@sbh1617]

Never heard of him. Really glad I found him.

[@johnneal9545]

Love Letteri as a “Wongnotes”

[@thelittlestrummerboy]

The band coming in at 2:50 couldn't be any more satisfying

[@ExtraFancy96]

The production value on this has me beyond excited for Wongnotes season 2! Killer tune!

[@itseb4i]

I think the fact that Cory is able to attract so many incredible musicians to play with him, do podcasts with him, make shows with him, etc really speaks to what a wonderful person he is. He seems genuinely fun to be around on top of being an incredible collaborator

[@dariusduesentrieb]

The "Haha okay, yeah" at 0:28 is weirdly satisfying.

[@ideasonek3374]

Yoooo mark lettieri!

[@GrizzlyBizzness]

When they reboot Phineas and Ferb this needs to be one of the songs they use, and the Wongnotes should be the replacement for Bowling for Soup (or, both mabe?). Has very P&F vibes and I love it!

[@ChrisMillerLite]

I never thought nerd rock funk jazz jam would be a new genre that I needed so bad

[@Sahtrump]

Those horns are tight.

[@jeevakrishnan4500]

Lovely to see Cory discovering more of himself. Also what a tasty hook, plus Mark on the guitar adding to the jam. interesting vocal harmonies too.

[@vancearama]

Mark on the medium guitar*

[@jeevakrishnan4500]

@@vancearama whoops. My bad

[@sbaiar]

That horn section was friggin' burnin'!!

[@benlichtman8033]

Right? Especially when the font back in. Somebody grab a fire extinguisher sheesh

[@buttecreekwoody7615]

Just when I thought Cory was at his creative peak last year with the Wongnotes, Dirty Loops collab and Paisley Session…BAM…he hit me with a Power Station! Can Cory get anymore entertaining? Charge Me Up!

[@WhiskerWhippers]

Wish Vulfpeck was putting out tracks this often

[@zachmatthews9857]

Loving this tune Cory - sing more! Voice sounds killer and would be great to have some live vocal tunes you can play without having to have a guest vocalist on tour Stoked to hear this one live 🤞

[@TruckPuzzles]

C'mon now-- it NEVER sucks when Antwaun Stanley's on the mic!

[@DonPasquale_]

11/10 outfit, 11/10 song

[@MrMostaza14]

Hmmm, love me some Mark Lettieri :) Fantastic song by Cory & the gang!! How this man constantly puts out quality tunes and content is beyond me.

[@shirazbopp]

Yupper Do… Mark’s the Shnitz!

[@Iggyedits]

That horn section is crazy

[@getzybaggins]

POWER STANCE - POWER STATION - POWER HORNS

[@danielelise7348]

Being a high Voltage transmission line technician & drummer + bass player,I LOVE this song⚡🔌🎇

[@Brog9]

What a show!!

[@kmprpod]

We rarely hear Cory sing! So cool dude!

[@modelcitizen1977]

The best production in funk right now. So. Damn. Clean.

[@JayTheLane]

Prince vibe got ressurected. Holy 🐮 this is beyond excellent 🤩 that tapping.

[@jefetters7182]

Serious Prince vibes on this one. That horn break in the middle is killer.

[@jimmyjoneser]

Cory Wong the hardest working man in show business

[@bopman1578]

Did not realise Sonny had such great soprano chops

[@CyBOXbeatbox]

The guitar hero star power stance combined with that tasty tap lick is god tier entertainment

[@gord.w.p]

This song passes the electrical safety inspection and is classified as a total banger

[@FacePomagranate]

That tapping thing is so un-Cory Wong I love it.

[@david_seah]

Even the thumbs up is power charged!

[@jakefeldstein5308]

Cory has seriously been writing some hits. This one is fucking banger

[@ianmorel9315]

There’s a little Oingo Boingo in this one! Killer tune all around

[@Davidkaisermusic]

Those horn solis are just gnarly, Michael Nelson is such a force of nature

[@thesoundpurist]

The guy with his a mexican Strat from a pawn shop in the front of a simple clean tune combo amp. Every you need right in your face. Amazing.

[@Sam_Perman]

This is Feel Good Funk Love how in the shout/bridge, the horns are matching Cory’s strumming rhythm.

[@rmcgue33]

Holy crap, this is absolutely electric!

[@hudsonscott4212]

Thank you Cory Wong for being as Cory Wong as possible at all times. Brilliant

[@head_a_donut]

ダサかっこいい。最高に好き

[@tommyberk.2793]

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM FOR WONGNOTES S2 AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@sammikinsderp]

How have I not heard this song before?! It's so good and funky! Might be my new favorite from CW.

[@thehighwires9851]

Mark killing the baratone! This is frickin' awesome - amazing arangement as per normal Cory!

[@1290-e6v]

How is this just a youtube show 🤯

[@Anthony_underscore]

Cory workin them Ferris Bueller vibes!

The Wong Notes of course are established as being the tightest band in the world, but that build up is pure musical bliss! These horn section people are the next world wonder! It's magic, it's Cory Wong! Thank you for the music!

[@goodgravy9562]

I think this is my favourite song you have ever done, it’s got everything!!

[@NightDocs]

God this is so creative and inspiring. Music ain’t dead

[@CollectiveFX]

I think you meant Creative artist arent dead. well some are....

[@NightDocs]

@@CollectiveFX no that’s not what I meant

More DISCO-FUNK please!!!!

[@TheMusicianTom]

I’m getting Steely Dan and Tower of Power vibes… this is extremely good work

[@NicoleKrawczyk]

Musicology...making minneapolis proud!

[@sparx7974]

Love it! I'm getting some major "Electric Avenue" vibes from this!

[@buttecreekwoody7615]

Spot on!

[@ItsMrMcFly]

Jeez Cory. What a track. I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU PERFORM THIS LIVE!!!!!!!! This might be your best track yet. Insane production quality on this video too. Next level.

[@Frisbieinstein]

70's funk lives.

[@NathanNagel]

Thank you for putting yourself in harms way to make such a great video. Shocking what you’ll go through for us.

[@herculesrockafeller]

I wish I could give this more than one thumbs up.

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Definitely hear the James Brown, Prince, and Morris Day influences. Cool tune.

[@ElBeeEss]

Ohhhhh, I sooo wish you'd been able to bring all the Wongnotes with you to Manchester; the vibe you guys create together defo charges me up! 😍🤩💜

[@MrDennyd333]

Electrifying!

[@Jonnysh]

I thought I felt some Cody Fry vibes on this one - colllllaaaaabroraaaation!!

[@Nannada1212]

Cory and the Wong Notes live in my head rent-free forever. Can't wait to see more.

[@MatkatMusic]

This song is a certified banger!

[@freedorie]

Can always trust a new Cory track to put a smile on my face :)

[@aegresen]

Sonny T on that bass! Goddamn the man is so good.

Lyrics: I heard the kinda place where all the people go To find electrical transmission A wonderful space where the ions overflow But first you must accept the permissions Ha ha ! Okay, yeah ! Take me to the power station Charge me up Take me to the power station Ch ch ch charge me up. CHARGE ME UP NOW! The melody is vicious, The power so delicious Im like a solar panel in the sun Cryptomusicology is taking all over me Utopia In 0s and 1s Take me to the power station Charge me up Take me to the power station Ch ch ch charge me up. CHARGE ME UP NOW! Charge me up (6) Take me to the power station Charge me up Take me to the power station Ch ch ch charge me up.

Thanks man! :)

[@rosieisla8286]

I'm thinking that one verse is something like "The melody is vicious The power so delicious I'm like a solar panel in the sun Cryptomusicology is taking over all of me Utopia in 0s and 1s"

Ah let's wait for some more suggestions? Im hearing them both now

[@FlowieFX]

This is so sick! I love the tapping part with the lightning effects, so cool🔥🔥

[@JaySuschrist]

Also, this is definitely one of my favourites Cory Wong tunes. And adding Mark, SOLID GOLD.

[@nickbirkby2521]

Wonderful! The horn arrangements always remind me of the Brecker Brothers albums

[@dereksimke9117]

Nice effect on the tapping solo, makes it pop out! And as usual, the horn lines are stank nasty. Love the bridge! Great tune!

[@bentnosewp]

Only 150k subs is criminal.

That electric solo is so Adrian Belew from King Crimson’s Elephant Talk

Holy crap, he's done it again!

This gives me huge Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town vibes. Love it

[@landonhildebrand9956]

When are you going to write a soundtrack for a Nintendo game? Nah, I'm just kidding! I love the mix of guitar tones and the horn section sounds fantastic! Michael, you killed it on this one! I love it all!

[@cooldebt]

I think Cory should stay in showbiz 😉 and Zorsy (The Consouls) should do the Nintendo soundtracks.

[@aomori_joe7220]

This will be stuck in my head for a looooooong time... and I love it! :D

[@BrocEnRollarts]
