"Computer Camp Love" is the goofball heart of Datarock Datarock, the 2005 debut from Norway's dance-punk duo Datarock, and the track that turned into their hit. Fredrik Saroea wrote the words and built the music with Ketil Mosnes, and the joke is right there in the premise: a geek-camp romance spun out of the 1984 comedy Revenge of the Nerds, played so close to "Summer Nights" that it borders on parody.
Jørgen Træen produced, recorded and mixed it, and the result is pure nerd swagger, a song that knows exactly how silly it is and dances anyway. When the album finally crossed over to North America in 2007, the video for "Computer Camp Love" rode along on the disc.
