The Scientists - That Girl

On the exceptionally rare occasion I see anything written about the Scientists, they're usually described as post-punk but their debut album (self-titled but always referred to as The Pink Album, for obvious reasons if you look down the page a bit) is mostly classic pop-punk or power-pop in the Buzzcocks/Rezillos kind of mode. Few people outside of Australia seem to remember them, which is a shame.

This is the most straightahead pop song on the debut. It's not entirely representative of the rest of the album, far less their later material. But isn't it cute?
