@chadergeist82 and awhat about Airwaves? It was a hit here in Brazil, as She blinded me with science was too. Not to mention, I think Dolby produced the great album Steve McQueen, by Prefab Sprout
Guilherme Silva Airwaves is a masterpiece. So is Windpower and Europa And The Pirate Twins. It pains me to see Thomas Dolby represented as a one hit wonder.
Thomas Dolby is a very likable man. He is down to earth and hilarious especially when impersonating the scientist. I wish that he would have had more hits.
@@GreenTeaViewerHyperactive! was a song equally as good and catchy, with a video just as innovative. Windpower was another fantastic tune.

I'd just LOVE LOVE LOVE to get rid of the UNBEARABLY LAME computer drum tracks on EVERY stupid rap album...jmo. And I lept right on the early Simmons/ V-drum bandwagon being a drummer myself. Btw, wth happened to Simmons??? They make garbage amps and e-drums I wouldn't let my dog urinate on these days. Disgraceful. Meanwhile, I'm trying to foster a set of original Simmons hex drums from Sunglasses at Night, Mad Max, total eclipse of the heart hit era...
You should do a search for "modular synth music" on RUclips. There are plenty of talented artists out there. Modular synthesis and real analog synths are making a HUGE comeback.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Rap isn't the only genre to use programmed drums. Unless you were asleep, Dolby programmed his drums for this hit song and at the time the options were pretty basic. Dolby was also one of the earliest adopters of the computer digital audio workstation using Opcode's Studio Vision software running over the top of Digidesign's Pro Tools hardware... where you could program in your "computer drums" using Sample Cell cards. It's a bit ironic that you're airing your opinion in this comment section.
Perhaps it's just classic British self-effacement, but it surprised me that Dolby said he felt he couldn't compete 'in the handsome boy stakes with Sting and Adam Ant'. He was then, and still Is, a good-looking guy, and it suits him to have shaved off what remained of his hair. As for this song, it's a novelty hit that I can take or leave, but a lot of his album tracks are thoughtful, moving, beautiful and very sophisticated musically. Dolby has also had a hand in a lot of very interesting projects. I find him fascinating.
couldn't agree more regarding his looks - was and is - a really good looking guy got to admit that don't really knew his work apart from this - intrigued now - thank you - will investigate further
That's just because Sting or Adam would inevitably appeal to a more younger female audience back then (they were already way popular)...but I agree...unlike Sting or even Adam he's aged better...
The story about the video makes total sense to me now, with all of the quirky ticks like the nose sniffing, the throat clearing -- great stuff. Honestly, this could be a hit today.
I remember where I actually *was* the first time I heard this song. I was in the living room where I lived when I was 12 years old, my best friend was over, we had not long met, and our parents let him come over, and he brought his “boom box” radio, something I only dreamed of owning, and we played this song over and over. I thought it was the greatest thing I’d ever heard. That had to have been 1983? I remember things looking exactly as they did on Stranger Things. My best friend was def a Stranger Things kind of kid...nerd, smart mouthed, picked on by bullies, and he LOVED all things science, D&D, Star Wars, etc...and I wasn’t really into all of that yet. I used to be called a nerd for hanging around him, and I resented it at the time.
I remember this song being on stations that I could barely receive in my dinky-ass hometown, trying to get the 'big city' stations from 100 miles away so I could hear Peter Gabriel and stuff like this. It was scratchy but I still listened.
Thomas Dolby is a giant of electronic music. Was also super in demand as a session musician - played on Foreigner 4 “Urgent” & “Waiting for a Girl Like You”; Lena Lovich classic hit “New Toy” and many others. A once in a generation talent not to mention a real sweetheart. Respect.
I love that whole album and saw him perform it flawlessly in his tour some twenty years after the initial release. So glad to see him in such good shape. He is a GEM.
A lot of the albums of my youth have gone by the wayside either through changes in taste or just sheer overplay. But Thomas Dolby's 'The Flat Earth' still makes it into the rotation every once in a while. 'Screen Kiss' is still one of my favorite songs.
Thomas Dolby is one of those 80’s stars who gets a bit forgotten about but his songs were great and deserved more love than they probably get. My big brother got me into his stuff and I’m glad I had that chance to enjoy them.
The 80's were great musically because creativity was allowed, record companies were willing to take chances on a "new sound", thousands of young bands abandoning formulaic, slick, overproduced of the late seventies and embracing a punk inspired do it yourself garage ethos. Almost every genre dabbled in experimentation, blending with other genres, looking back or abroad for influences. Therefore, in the top 10 chart of any week you could hear soulful r'n'b, reggae/ska, punk, new wave/synthpop, heavy metal, rap/hiphop, Calypso rythmns, African beats, irish or scottish rythmns (bagpipes even), blues, country, funk, rockabilly, disco or any blend of these. Never before or since was there such variety or raw explosion of new or unconventional sounds to music. Unfortunately, today's music seems to be very formulaic mostly, less variety, less rawness or creativity. Likewise, in tv and movies in almost all genres there were templates set that are still being copied by Hollywood today, but not with the same vitality.
We had a great alternative radio station in Annapolis Maryland 99.1 WHFS and they played all sorts of great music. They were my introduction to The likes of Thomas Dolby, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Dead Milkmen. Clash and on an on. The early eighties were a blast.
I LOVE to hear these stories behind the music of the 80s from the artists themselves that were the radio and Mtv fodder in the Glory days of my life and these songs are still in the soundtrack of my mind..so cool to know the details so many years later.
No, there was already a lot of great synth stuff out there but he put it in 'pop' format and a lot of people prefer that over Vangelis or Wendy Carlos, who were truly ahead of their times.
I'm not sure if that's sarcasm but I was a little irritated at the moment where he was using the Moog and the song was still looping the main riff over and over while the live Moog sound was barely there.
@Time Bandit Budspest!!.... the song that got me crazy about the Dolby!.. Its a nice long meaty song...with alot of sensitivity. All of Aliens--- play it front to back.....its a Masterpiece.
TheGuerillapatriot Magnus Pike was actually a human biologist specialising in diey and nutrition. I suppose he came to be demonstrating physics on telly because he was a definitively Englisg eccentric. His cousin (also called Pike) was behind the war-time plan to build aircraft carriers from icebergs. I believe that's been 'tested' on Mythbusters. It's rather a shame that Magnus is better remembered for Thom's video than his scientific work.
Yes, Magnus was what I would consider a true English eccentric. Met him as a child back in either the late 70s or early 80s. For another good example look up Patrick Moore who used to present astronomy programmes for like 50 years on the BBC. Or for a more comic version - Stanley Unwin.
The late Magnus Pyke had the ability to explain quite complicated things in layman's terms, which endeared him to TV viewers. I would have to disagree with Dolby ... particularly in his younger years, Thomas Dolby was a very handsome guy!
This song didn't hit the airwaves in the US until early '83 but it's a favorite of mine. Always takes me back to spring of that year. Best year of music!
Loved this song from the first few notes. My favorite line: "Good heavens, Miss Nakamoto, you're BE-yooo-ti-ful!" The story behind the song is just as much fun. Dank u wel for posting this!
This guys so awesome and sooo talented. Such a great song too. Very likeable and very nice guy. He’s worked with other bands too doing synth or keys for bands on albums which is awesome. This guys a genius with the synth
This classic reminds me of " BLOW ! " ....{ 1981-86}..great times TO BE A YOUNG KID growing up in the bay area ! I was 19 when this hit ! MTV was AWESOME those 1st 5 years !
I used to shelve the periodicals at a medical library...could NOT put a volume of "Science" back among the run on the shelf without singing "Sci...Sci-Sci-SCI!" to myself. Forever the word and the song are twinned. Thank you, Thomas Dolby, for your enduring contribution to my career path. Srsly!

This really stood out for me in 1982. It was so new sounding
I'm glad this song was a breakthrough for him but "Airwaves" is one of the best songs ever! Mr. Dolby looking good 😘
As a metal / hard rock guitarist I've still always loved this song. My favorite new wave tune.
This song sounds really great cranked. Love the groove and the low end. Of course the video is hilarious!
This song is still stuck in my head.
The song was like Funky Town. You loved it and couldn't stop singing it. Summer camp memories and an old cassette recorder. "SCIENCE!"
