The Boomtown Rats is The Boomtown Rats' debut album and included the Rats' first hit single, "Lookin' After No. 1", as well as the subsequent single, "Mary of the 4th Form".
 The album peaked at No. 18 in the UK Albums Chart in 1977.
"Mary of the 4th Form" is the second single by The Boomtown Rats.
 It was the first song taken from the band's first album "The Boomtown Rats" but the single is a different, re-recorded version from that on the album and 19 seconds longer.
 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".
Back to Boomtown: Classic Rats Hits is the fifth greatest hits album by Irish band The Boomtown Rats.
 It was released by Virgin EMI on 9 September 2013.
 The album was announced in June 2013 along with news of the band's UK and Ireland tour.
 "Back to Boomtown: Classic Rats Hits" is the first album to be released since The Boomtown Rats reunited and the band's first greatest hits album since 2003's "The Best of The Boomtown Rats".
 The album contains fourteen of the group's singles, as well as two new tracks, "The Boomtown Rats" and "Back To Boomtown".
 The digital version of the album features two additional songs.
 Following its release, "Back to Boomtown: Classic Rats Hits" debuted at number thirty-five on the Irish Albums Chart.
"I Don't Like Mondays" is a song by Irish band The Boomtown Rats that was a number one single in the UK Singles Chart for four weeks during the summer of 1979, and ranks as the sixth biggest British hit of 1979.
 Written by Bob Geldof, it was the band's second number one single.
Robert Frederick Zenon "Bob" Geldof, KBE (born 5 October 1951), is an Irish singer-songwriter, author, political activist and occasional actor.
 He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Irish rock band The Boomtown Rats in the late 1970s and early 1980s, alongside the punk rock movement.
 The band had Number One hits with his compositions "Rat Trap" and "I Don't Like Mondays".
 He co-wrote "Do They Know It's Christmas?
", one of the best-selling singles of all time, and starred in Pink Floyd's 1982 film "Pink Floyd – The Wall" as "Pink."
The discography of Irish new wave group The Boomtown Rats consists of six studio albums, five compilation albums, 20 singles and three video albums.
 The Boomtown Rats' debut release was the 1977 single "Lookin' After No. 1".
 The group's next single "Mary of the 4th Form" was released in the same year, along with their self-titled debut album.
"Rat Trap" was a single by The Boomtown Rats, which reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in November 1978, the first single by a punk or new wave act to do so.
"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".
