"Telegraph" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), and is the second single from their studio album Dazzle Ships. "Telegraph" was originally slated to be the first single release, but being unhappy with the mix and with pressure from Virgin, the group instead opted to release "Genetic Engineering". Critic Stewart Mason in AllMusic retrospectively described the song as "insanely catchy" and "brilliant", adding: "[A]s the state-of-1983 electronics of the arrangement sound more and more quaint, the irony grows sharper."

  • "Telegraph" – drugi singiel angielskiego zespołu OMD, pochodzący z czwartego albumu studyjnego Dazzle Ships. Singiel został wydany 1 kwietnia 1983 za pośrednictwem wytwórni Virgin Records. Piosenka miała zostać wydana przed "Genetic Engineering", lecz Virgin Records nie zgodziła się na to ponieważ "Telegraph" nie odniósł zbyt dużej popularności. (pl)
  • Telegraph är en låt av den brittiska synthpop-gruppen Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark utgiven 1983. Den var den andra singeln från albumet Dazzle Ships och nådde 42:a plats på brittiska singellistan. Låten spelades ursprungligen in 1981 och övervägdes att ingå på albumet Architecture & Morality. Originalversionen var inspirerad av Andy McCluskeys starka motvilja mot politik och religion men detta tema tonades ned i den senare version. Telegraph planerades som den första singeln från Dazzle Ships men då gruppen inte var nöjda med mixen valdes i stället som förstasingel från albumet. (sv)
