Subject: Science-y songs of the 80's
I need help figureing out some science-y songs of the 80's. It doesn't matter how much about science it is, but all that it is somewhat science-y.
Did that make any sense?

'She Blinded Me With Science' - Thomas Dolby from The Golden Age of Wireless - 1982
Is that along the right lines?

Me! I Disconnect from You
Are 'Friends' Electric?
Machmen
Praying to the Aliens
Down in the Park
You are in my Vision
Replicas
