Finally got around to uploading a newer version of iTunes and figured I’d put together an official Nerd Girl Playlist since I’m home today waiting for one of those appointments with a 5-hour window… But it seems I’ve gone brain dead and can’t think of any more decent songs.
I could use your help finding some good stuff to fit in with the theme.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Anything from Devo
and Weird Al Yankovic
Rockit – Herbie Hancock
Opportunities – Pet Shop Boys
Computer Love – Roger & Zapp
Star Wars Overture – John Williams
Blinded Me w/Science – Thomas Dolby
Go ahead, make me kick myself by reminding
me of some good ones that I forgot!

Great website. Design is wonderful and fun to read. Easy to dance to – Good taste in music! How about Legal Tender by The B-52′s.

There needs to be some They Might Be Giants in there. Maybe some Cure if it’s the light-hearted “pop”-y stuff (otherwise you’re moving in on Goth Girl territory).
Maybe some Telepopmusik, Dirty Vegas and Chemical Brothers as well.

Pink Floyd: “Set the controls for the heart of the sun” Very 60s psychadelic
Radiohead: “Paranoid Android”
Rush: “Xanadu”, “2112″ “Natural Science” “Manhatten Project”
Aerosmith: “I don’t want to miss a thing” or whatever its called, theme from Armageddon.
David Bowie: “Space Oddity”
Elton John: “Rocket Man”
Steve Vai: “Alien Water Kiss”
Did you know that the main players from Devo do all the music for “Rugrats”?

Ooh “Computer Love”! I love that song.
“Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” -Rod Stewart
“Flash Gordon Theme” -Queen
And anything by Al Green (it’s not really geek music but the man kicks ass.) =)

I’m not sure if they are nerd girl tunes but I like them and I’m kind of a nerd and both songs are about girls, so what the heck! “My Sharrona†by the Knack, and Tommy Tutone’s “Jenny, Jenny (867-5309).
