Thinking about the recent post on Revenge of the Nerds, I got to thinking about other cool scenes from that cool movie.
One that came to mind was the very '80s-esque performance of the nerds during the college talent show competition. This performance is very, very '80s. Its got new wavish syth music, Devo-ish hair styles, and Michael Jackson imitators doing the Moonwalk. Admittedly, the Lamar character (in the Michael Jackson jacket doing the "rap") is a bit much, but check out the computer toting nerd dudes sporting the '80s styles!!
And theres also the very '80s opening song, by the Rubinoos.
Mom packs us a lunch and we're off to the school,
They call us nerds 'cause we're so uncool.
They laugh at our clothes, they laugh at our hair
The girls walk by with the nose in the air.
So go ahead, put us down
One of these days we will turn it around
Won't be long, mark my words
Time has come for Revenge of the nerds!
Revenge of the nerds
Revenge of the nerds
We wear horn-rimmed glasses with a heavy duty lens
Button down shirts and a pocket full of pens
Straight A students, teachers' pets
They call us nerds but with no regrets
So go ahead, put us down
One of these days we will turn it around
Won't be long, mark my words
