Subject: Science-y songs of the 80's

Written By: Men_At_Work_Fan on 05/29/03 at 12:06 a.m.

I need help figureing out some science-y songs of the 80's.  It doesn't matter how much about science it is, but all that it is somewhat science-y.

Did that make any sense?

'She Blinded Me With Science' - Thomas Dolby from The Golden Age of Wireless - 1982

Is that along the right lines?

Of course you can never go wrong with Gary Numan. The Tubeway Army album Replicas is all about science-related topics if that's more what you're asking about...

Track listing:
Me! I Disconnect from You
Are 'Friends' Electric?  
Machmen
Praying to the Aliens
Down in the Park
You are in my Vision
Replicas
It Must Have Been Years  
When the Machines Rock  
I Nearly Married a Human
Do You Need the Service?
The Crazies
Only a Downstat
We Have a Technical
We Are So Fragile
