All the ideas of Feeling Electric are still present, but in I Wish I Were Here. It even kept the "plug me in and turn me on" part. It just presents them in a better way.
I agree, "Feeling Electric" is a great, fun song. But it's teetering on camp and outrageous, and it didn't have a place in the show as it is. "I Wish I Were Here" is exactly the same, thematically- presenting the ECT, Diana's reaction to it, Natalie's drug use, and comparing them.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
