"She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby



Birthday wishes go out today to Thomas Dolby who, as far as I know, never blinded anyone with science; he did, however, get us dancing to science, as a pioneer of electronic music during the British New Wave in the early 1980s. She Blinded Me with Science originally appeared on his 1982 album The Golden Age of Wireless; not only does the song's video star Dolby himself in a Tintin-esque get-up, it also showcases television presenter Magnus Pyke as the mad scientist.

If you ask me, the real science involved here is how this song just never gets old...
