The Boomtown Rats “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. 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.
