"Space Age Love Song" is a 1982 single released by the British band, A Flock of Seagulls. It was their fourth single. Lead guitarist Paul Reynolds remarked on their 1984 video album "Through the Looking Glass" that he thought of the song's title. He said that the band wrote and recorded it, but couldn't come up with the title. He suggested "Space Age Love Song" because he thought it sounded like a space age love song. His idea stuck as the song's permanent title.
"Space Age Love Song" peaked at No. 30 in the US Billboard Chart, No. 31 in New Zealand, No. 34 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 68 in Australia.
American alternative rock band Lazlo Bane covered the song for its 2012 EP Guilty Pleasures the 80's Volume 1. Oklahoma City natives The Flaming Lips covered the song on their freely distributed CD The Fearless Freaks – Film Premiere Bonus Bootleg Giveaway
