To note...when I got married the 1st time, I made sure 5 songs were played to kick the wedding reception off. Elvis Costello and "Everyday I Write The Book" started it off, followed by Patrick D. Martin "Computer Datin'". That was back in 1983.
this is so koooooooooooooooooooooool i think i might still have this LOL ';-)
so good to hear it i had almost forgotten about this so a big thank you for posting it and its only by chance i rememberd about this as i was jus reading about Hans Christian Ørsted who had a lot to do with electric motors';-)
Cool,never heard this song again after been recorded, neither the others like time-mutant-or tarquin is electric tonight.Thx youtube!I played the guitar on this one and that spacy" solo.
Sounds a bit like "Ca Plane Pour Moi" meets "Kids In America". Was this song a hit? I can't believe that the stuffy MOR label Decca signed this guy up, it's a cool song!
the sound of the 'future'!

I heard this in '79 as an IRS release, but fuck, it's so much more fun with these goofy-ass visuals!

It's not as good as I remember. Too much electric guitar for my taste.

Computer Datin' is probably PDMs best song. Look for that one.

B Side is Time 4:50 a 7" on Decca Records.
