"Mary of the 4th Form" is the second single by The Boomtown Rats.

 On French and Dutch releases of the single, "Do the Rat" (B-side of the UK version) was the A-side.
 The song's theme, of a teacher's sexual attraction to a pubescent girl, who behaves in an overtly sexual manner, was resonated in the Police song "Don't Stand So Close to Me".
"Lookin' After No. 1" is the first single by The Boomtown Rats.
 It appears on their first album "The Boomtown Rats".
 The single was released in August 1977 after the band had performed a five date tour supporting Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
 "Lookin' After No. 1" was the first so-called new wave single to be play listed by the BBC and the Boomtown Rats subsequently became the first new wave band to be offered an appearance on "Top Of The Pops" performing the song.
 The song reached number 2 on the Irish Singles Chart and spent nine weeks in the UK Singles Chart reaching a peak of number 11.
 Different covers were produced for releases in the Netherlands and Japan.
 Reviewer David Clancy described the song as having a "breakneck sneering selfishness".

 The band had Number One hits with his compositions "Rat Trap" and "I Don't Like Mondays".

"She's So Modern" is a song by The Boomtown Rats.
 It was the first single taken from the band's second album "A Tonic for the Troops", whose title comes from a line in this song: "Charlie ain't no Nazi, she just likes to wear her leather boots, 'cos it's exciting for the veterans and it's a tonic for the troops".
 The single continued the Rats' high-energy post-punk/new wave sound that had typified earlier releases, but its fame would later be eclipsed by that of the band's more ballad-like global hit "I Don't Like Mondays".
 It has been described as "harmlessly smirking bubblegum "a la" The Knack".
