The Roches – „Nurds“ (1980)
Ein Song von Suzzy Roche über Nerds und Außenseitertum im Jugendalter, betont schräg und sehr lustig. Ein Höhepunkt sind die Backing Vocals ab ca. 3:10.
Nurds: I’m so glad I am one!
„When I was a young girl
I went to Catholic school
Hung around all the nuns
That was so uncool
All the other girls were wearing
Make-up in forth grade
But I was not allowed
I wore anklets and prayed
Paula Duvle dyed her hair
And started going out with boys
I was into homework
And trying to get toys
It was around that time
I discovered what I was
For instance I said policeman
But Paula called them fuzz
Then I went to highschool
It really hit me hard
I started finding out that
They were calling me retard
In the gymnasium
I was not a hit
There was something really interesting
About the way my gymsuit fit.“
