She's So Modern

About She's So Modern

"She's So Modern" is a song by The Boomtown Rats. It was the first single taken from the band's second album A Tonic for the Troops, whose title comes from a line in this song: "Charlie ain't no Nazi, she just likes to wear her leather boots, 'cos it's exciting for the veterans and it's a tonic for the troops". The single continued the Rats' high-energy post-punk/new wave sound that had typified earlier releases, but its fame would later be eclipsed by that of the band's more ballad-like global hit "I Don't Like Mondays". It has been described as "harmlessly smirking bubblegum a la The Knack"."She's So Modern" was commercially successful, the third of the band's singles to reach the UK Top 20 and the second to reach the Irish Top 10. Indeed, according to reviewer Brian Bock the song was "written explicitly (and successfully) to be a hit". It spent eleven weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 12. more »

La-la-la-la-la (four times)
She's so 20th century.
She's so 1970s.
She know the right things to say
She got the right clothes to wear
'cause she's a modern girl, oh yeah.
A modern girl yeah, ga-ga-ga-ga-ga,
A modern girl, oh yeah.

And Suzie is a jewel
She flashes when she smiles.
She's cunning and she's clever
She's got the lowdown in her files.
Magenta is the best
You know she really makes me laugh
She's always trying' her impressions
She wants to be a photograph, I gotta say now

She's so 20th century
She so etc....
A modern girl, oh yeah.
She's so modern.
La-la-la-la

Jean confided to me
She's Mona Lisa's biggest fan.
She drew a mustache on her face
She's always seen her as a man.
And Charlie ain't no nazi
She likes to wear her leather boots
'cause it's exciting for the veterans
And it's a tonic for the troops.

She's so 20th century
She so etc ....
A modern girl, oh yeah.
(chorus twice).
She's so modern.
