Song of the day: Computer Camp Love

Today's song of the day is Datarock's "Computer Camp Love".

According to Wikipedia... The band has released three EPs and their debut album, Datarock Datarock, was released in 2005 in 10 countries on the band's own label, YAP (Young Aspiring Professionals), receiving favourable reviews, especially in the UK. They made an appearance in Australia's Triple J Hottest 100 with the single "Computer Camp Love" in 2005, placing at #12. Fredrick has commented that Australia was the only country to pick up Datarock early aside from their homeland.

"Computer Camp Love" is a parody of "Summer Nights" from Grease, but tells the young love story from Revenge of the Nerds. It is even funnier live, as the band all wear matching red tracksuits and their thick Norwegian accents are more pronounced.

I ran into her on computer camp. Was that in 84? Not sure, I had my Commodore 64, had to score...
