This one looks like the '60s, ferret!
Kirsty wrote it and had the first hit. She and Tracey Ullman were great friends and if you watch/listen to the two videos, they are very similar, with Kirsty singing backup on Tracey's version. I only posted Tracey's version because the motorcycle got more airtime
Something that I find interesting is the two have very different takes on the videos' conclusions. Maybe us nerds do have a chance after all!

Is the nerd in this one a very young Ade Edmondson? If so he became the complete opposite as the punk rocker in "The Young Ones" and "Bottom". Both old cult series in the UK, especially the Young Ones.
