Lyric discussion by Nailerk 

Tesla was a genius. As are OMD. This song is all about women who think...who have something upstairs besides two breasts. It really is a great tribute to thinking women.

I love Tesla Girls.

Also, I think there's a hidden code in here that in fact is in favor of women who can decipher code. English just isn't English...nor any language is. English as a Second Language is what this song is about.

Take for instance the line when they walk they don't touch the ground. It's all soulful to these girls. These guys are about a millennium ahead of their time on our current course for this planet.

I read an interview with McClusky back when this was released. He said that "Tesla Girls" were women who used modern technology (such as a microwave oven) with ease, with no regard (or desire to know) for how it works. It was a kind of positive statement regarding their unsung intelligence and he said the song was an ode to women in general.

His words, not mine.
