It was the first song 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\". While described as \"harmlessly smirking bubblegum a la the Knack\", the single continued the Rats' high energy post-punk/new wave sound that had typified earlier releases, but would later be eclipsed by the fame of the band's more ballad-like global hit, \"I Don't Like Mondays\". \"She's So Modern\" was commercially successful, the third of the band's singles to reach the UK Top 20, and the second to reach the Irish Top 10. Indeed, according to reviewer Brian Bock the song was \"written explicitly (and successfully) to be a hit\". It spent eleven weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 12."@en }
