Computer Love (6:39)

Cover of The Mix

From The Mix and 12 other releases

According to the Computer Love Songfacts, the subject matter of this song, looking for romance via the computer, was a remarkable prediction of the future as it was written many years before online dating. In the early 1980s computers were large, impersonal, incommunicative things and not many could have foreseen their use as a vehicle for communicating with others.

    Coldplay weren't even around in 1981 so fuck off. This song is the original. ¬_¬ Coldplay = Coldgay.

    FUCK Chris Martin and FUCK Cuntplug. I don't care whether they had permission or not. What they did to this tune is a disgrace and an insult to the human ear - as most of their overproduced , pathetic muzak.
