Edison & Tesla: "The Future is Electric" | SUNG HISTORY

Ever since Benji Franks flew that kite, we've had a brisk appetite! In a hundred years it won't seem so strange that we harness energy to make a change! The

future

is

electric

! You're invited now if you thought you weren't. The

future

is

electric

! I'll go there on alternating current! I'll go there in a (DIRECT) stream! Tesla: Wait, what did you say? Two different sides of the same new spark Lighting up what was dark Except toggling has a lot more range...either way it's an amazing change! The future is electric! With DC and a long extension cord, every house will have a light bulb, my invention!

Well, well... Alternating current changes direction about 60 times per second and can travel thousands of miles with one wire intersection. Start with millions of volts, then lower it to just 120. A single plant can be the power source for many! Shine a light on a humble beginning, I'm glad you're humble about it, but I'm giving the world power they won't want to live without! The future is electric! You're invited now if you thought you weren't. The future is electric! I'll go there with alternating current! I'll go there in a (DIRECT) stream! Edison: Well, agree to disagree Tesla: That's just you not admitting you're wrong...

Edison: agree to disagree about agreeing to disagree! The future is electric! Edison: Alternating current will cause casualties Tesla: Direct current sounds good for batteries Edison: See the effects of all the shock! Tesla: Holy shit, why would you do that? Edison: To prove a point... Tesla: And what point was that? Edison: ...what were we talking about? The future is electric! You're invited now if you thought you weren't. The future is electric! I'm going to travel there in alternating current... I'm going to travel there in a direct line... I'm going to travel there in alternating current! I'll go there in a (DIRECT) stream!
