Rock & Roll Is Dead

The Rubinoos

The Rubinoos are an American power pop band that formed in 1970 in Berkeley, California. They are perhaps best known for their singles "I Think We're Alone Now" (1977, a cover of the hit by Tommy James & the Shondells), "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" (1979), and for the theme song to the 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds. Although "I Think We're Alone Now", reaching No. 45 in 1977, has been their only charting hit, the group has a significant enduring cult following among fans of the power pop genre. more »
