ok, looking for some mix ideas. songs that are about nerds, or contain nerdly content are needed. i think you'll get the idea with what i have so far. very obscure or specific references to sci-fi and or cult followed films/tv/media are most welcome. thank you.

twin sister - ben
four eyes - deathrace 2000
supernova - chewbacca
the advantage - ghosts and goblins
blink 182 - far far away
mathlete - geekout
the koopas - me and my NES
kid koala - nerdball
german art students - MENSA girl
technicolor - escaping the game grid
babbletron - space tech banana clip
thee shatners - he's dead jim

I started putting together a "Math is hard" mix.
Nerds like math, right?
Here were some of the songs I had selected:

Cornelius - count five or six
Hot Hot Heat - 5 times out of 100
Idlewild - Tell me ten words
Ima Robot - 12 3 (Here Come the doctors)
Mink Lungs - Widths and longths
Modest Mouse - never ending math equation
Spinning Jennies - Three Minus One
Strokes - 12-51
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Parallel or together
Yuma House - Track 6 Track 7

let me know if you want any of the mp3's

Edit: I think I might add the Rhett song to my list. Thanks Phil.
