She's blinded me...with SCIENCE! 🥸🤣 we loved this as kids in the 80s
The psychiatrist in that video was played by Magnus Pyke. He was a nutritional scientist, and made a lot of appearances on British television, especially in the 1970s and early 1980s. He was known for his excited gesticulation. edit Pyke not Pike.
isn't the voice on the track actually Dolby's dad?
@@MindFeather That's the voice of Magnus Pyke.
Yep definitely Mr Pyke.
Magnus Pyke was a true legend, I love seeing him again
And he HATED that people on the street kept shouting "Science!" whenever they saw him.
David Bowie actually got Thomas Dolby to play keyboards for his epic set at Live Aid, which was the biggest concert event the world had ever seen at that point.
Before this song in 1984, Dolby was a much sought after synth player for major rock acts who didn't have a need for a full time synth player. He plays the synths on Foreigner's 1981 hits "Urgent" and "Waiting for a Girl Like You", both from the album "4".
Cool fact!!
he was also responsible for Dolby noise reduction
@@monogramadikt5971 This is not true. In fact, Dolby Labs took Thomas Dolby to court over the name.
@@disconsolatemoose6637 yeah my bad, was given misleading info
1983 my friend !!!!! 1983
It’s actually a brilliant funk song done with synths. The album version is longer and has a great extended drum breakdown at the end! Dolby is brilliant.
yea agree -- the funkiness of this track is really overlooked
agreed, i love all five of his studio albums. the soundtracks not so much, but yea. overall completely brilliant.
I would respectfully add, often lost on reactors, that these songs were Great Dance Songs !!!
Yes. He also helped Paddy McAloon with a couple Prefab Sprouts albums. They were big in the UK. All of his (TD's) albums were fantastic. His Aliens ate my Buick album was especially funky. A humble genius.
Yeah, I like the version where he's talking throughout the intro. Great song!
Underneath all the charming quirkiness is a great groove that really drives the song.
Ahhh the eighties were fun -- The music -- the clothes -- the hair styles -- the making of nerdy the new cool
LOVED being a teen in the 80’s!! But.. didn’t consider it nerdy at all- Individualism, variety...yes!😁
Funfact Dolby really did go on and became a scientist he help invent Polyphonic ringtone technology that we use in our cell phones
Don’t forget Dolby surround sound.
@@ameyer1970 AL Meyer really that's him too wow thanks for the info Bro 👍
@@ameyer1970 not Thomas Dolby. That was Ray Dolby, no relation.
@@ameyer1970 IIRC Thomas Dolby actually had to come to a legal agreement with Dolby Labs wherin they would allow him to record under the name Dolby as long as he agreed not to produce any sound equipment or otherwise infringe on their trademark.
@@ameyer1970 The stage name Thomas Dolby originated from a nickname that he picked up in the early 1970s, when he was "always messing around with keyboards and tapes."[7] His friends nicknamed him "Dolby", from the name of the audio noise-reduction process of Dolby Laboratories used for audio recording and playback. He adopted the stage name "Thomas Dolby" to avoid confusion with British singer Tom Robinson, who was popular when he began his career. Early publicity implied that "Dolby" was a middle name, and that the artist's full name was Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson;[8] this is legally incorrect, but he does sometimes informally go by the initials TMDR.[5]
After the release of "She Blinded Me with Science," Dolby Laboratories expressed concern regarding the musician's stage name. Dolby's record label refused to make him change his name, and Dolby Labs did not raise the issue again until later. After a lengthy legal battle, the court decided that Dolby Labs had no right to restrict the musician from using the name. It was agreed that the musician would not release any electronic equipment using the name.[9] Dolby Laboratories founder Ray Dolby had a son named Thomas, now a novelist and filmmaker professionally known as Tom Dolby
This song is why everybody yells out "Science!" every time there's a science category question on trivia nights! I've always enjoyed Thomas Dolby's music. It's quintessential '80s pop, and the videos were always interesting. This came out at the height of MTV, when all they played was music videos.
Magnus Pyke (R.I.P) was an actual deranged scientist. Often to be seen on telly, waving his arms around.
I think Magnus would turn in his grave if he saw what has happened to science. It’s been prostituted out to the highest bidder.
Science!
This cat may have been actually crazy. However, all the most creative people are called deranged or off in someway. Scientist are held to artificial standard that musicians and visual artists and writers are not. The public accepts their work but without a requirement to be "normal". Academics are quick to label a colleague that might distort their agenda.
@@Swonder1972 I've looked to find a video clip to share of the television program that Magnus Pyke hosted back in the 1970s titled, "Don't Ask Me" - but I couldn't find anything... too obscure, even for RUclips (see Wikipedia: Don't Ask Me (TV programme) [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Ask_Me_(TV_programme) ])
He was completely bonkers, but in a nice way.
Still love this song! Ahh the golden age of MTV. I miss those days.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love his "Hyperactive!!". I met him at a Thompson Twins concert, spring 1984, and got his autograph.
I hated "Hyperactive." And Bill Joel used that for his wedding theme. Remember that?
@@argonwheatbelly637 I still hate hyperactive.
I LOVE Hyperactive.
@@liverush24 "I met Thomas Dolby at a Thompson Twins concert" is the most wonderfully 80s sentence I've heard in a long time :-)
@@dbradx LOL
Thomas Dolby is a fascinating character, involved so much in the devopment of electronic music. He also did movie scores, video game music, and put together an online game "Map of the Floating City". He wrote, cowrote and played on many hits of others. He had a software company. He put together a studio in an isolated old beached boat in Wales. On and on......
While I love the bouncy hits that got most of the play, he also had some beautiful atmospheric songs. I can recommend The Flat Earth, I Scare Myself, One of Our Submarines, Windpower, Europa and the Pirate Twins, Flying North, Radio Silence. For a funky sound check out the album "Aliens Ate My Buick".
Airwaves was another atmospheric song
His entire first album was so good that the first time I heard it I thought it was a best of collection. The album title is "The Golden Age of Wireless" but there were multiple issues of it in the UK and the US with different songs on it so look for the collectors edition from 2009 for a copy that includes all the songs.
@@hackerx7329 Yes! I had an early LP and when I finally bought the CD, there were some weird mixes on there?!! Same with Duran Duran’s Rio. I thought it was a Capitol Records CD issue , but I’ve since heard different things.
I'm with Hacker X -- Dolby's first album is absolutely fantastic, and the slower, moodier songs are the highlights for me. He's recorded much music since then, and much of it is excellent, but that first record, he really hit the ground running . . .
Thomas Dolby also = ringtones.
Classic early mid 80s MTV. When my mom was in high school
Ah the early, 80's when MTV actually showed music videos and every music video attempted to be a 4 minute long movie.
@@JoeBlow_4 While it is true that songs are often used in movies and I believe this one was, this song isn't "from a movie." That distinction I reserve for songs such as "Power of Love" and "Back in Time" which were specifically commissioned for _Back to the Future_ or songs like "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer which was the theme for the movie _Beverly Hills Cop._ Also, unlike the music video for songs like "Old Time Rock and Roll" from the movie _Risky Business_ this music video does not contain clips from any movie. The music video attempts to be it's own movie which was a trend during the early 80's and even into the 90's. Many now famous movie directors like Michael Bay directed such music videos. Bay directed Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything for Love" which also attempts to be a mini-movie. And it has the now famous Bay use of explosions. :)
@@JoeBlow_4 NP, that's the risk we all take when we post our thoughts in public. I thought this song may have been used in _Weird Science_ as well. If not, I'm sure it has appeared in some movie sometime.
Total 80's classic!
I still scream SCIENCE! every now & then when situation fits lol Everyone always knows😂🙈
The old man, Magnus Pyke, was an actual scientist and a popular presenter on British TV science type shows. Another Dolby tune you might enjoy is "One of Our Submarines"
I think I saw somewhere that after this song came out everyone would yell "Science!" when they saw him IRL, and it drove him crazy. :)
This was one of the most creative and funniest videos back in the day.
My friend Matthew played with Thomas Dolby back in the 80s. He was not one of my favourites, but there is no doubting the humour in his lyrics, and I do like this one very much.
I can still hear this song blasting from boom boxes on the beach in the 80's. Good times.
The first guy to use digital sampling. Before that, everyone had to use turntables or cut up sections of reel-to-reel tape. Computers didn't have enough memory to hold more than a few seconds of sound back then, but he hooked them up to a keyboard and made it work.
Here in Baltimore, Thomas Dolby has been a music professor at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University since 2014 and a program head since 2018.
His track "I love you goodbye" is the polar opposite and spectacular as well.
Windpower and Europa And The Pirate Twins are my two favourite Thomas Dolby tracks. And his cover of Dan Hicks' I Scare Myself is just perfection. Dissidents is another great track.
This song was used as the theme tune for the original pilot of 'The Big Bang Theory' sitcom. That pilot wasn't picked up and was never aired.
When Mtv started in 1981 a massive part of their music video's came from the U.K because they had done music videos pre-MTV.
Loved this song. Back in Junior High. Our Science Teacher Mr. Cowen. Loved this song when we played it for him. He was the Coolest Teacher Ever. His class was relaxed and easy going. But if you got in trouble and then it was Mr Leafty I'm getting highly upset with you. LOL he also would build Habitat for Humanity houses with the shop teacher Mr Combs. He also was a swag dresser. And he would have his coffee spiked
The original title of the song was 'Poetry in Motion' and it was released as such. The record label changed the name to 'She Blinded Me With Science' to sell more records, since that's what kids were asking for in the stores.
The old guy who keeps saying science, was an actual celebrity scientist, called Magnus Pyke who waved his arms like a windmill when he spoke, the 80's eh.....
Dolby also worked as session keyboard player on Def Leppard's 1983 Pyromania album. Dolby appeared on Pyromania using the alias Booker T. Boffin.
That's cool info
I can never forget the power of oddity generated from a lot of the music. So much fun. There she goes again......hiccup noises
This song did really well here in Montreal in the 80s!!
this really takes me back. This song and Electric Avenue came out around the same time. O remember singing to both and just having a good time. Do not over think it. It is just science!!!
The scientist in the video was actually a TV scientist like Bill Nye for the BBC. He said in an interview once that after making the video, random people he would pass on the street would yell SCIENCE! and that would startle the heck out of him!
Lex is 100% - you get to the point where you are in the car and you yell out "Good HEAVENS, Miss Sakamoto! You're BEAUTIFUL!"
It was VERY popular... we all danced to it in the clubs....great dance song!
This was a huge eighties hit for Thomas Dolby! In the video he rejected the doctors theories and pushes the doctor in the water at the end! The doctor got his comeuppance! I love this video and song, so fun!❤️❤️
He had a lot of great songs, Europa, Hyperactive, One of Our Submarines is Missing, personal favorite The Keys to her Ferrari.
I remember reading that the old guy hosted a TV show about science in Britain for many years.
He was a food scientist before becoming a TV personality - his name was Magnus Pyke.
One of the few "80's sound" songs I always liked. It's hilarious and the video is fun, too. "Science!!" "She's tidying up! And I can't find anything!" I just love the voices interjecting!
Many '80s ,90s, '00s rappers loved new wave music. They sampled a lot of it back then. jaja. Like Mobb Deep sampled this song in "Got It Twisted" in 2003. Every one of us who were children in the '80s remember this video. So funny. I also like his video "Hyperactive!" They were like Oingo Boingo and Talking Heads.
It's poetry in Motion! I can smell the chemicals! SCIENCE!! lol I'm so glad that yall watched the video! New wave videos were usually very quirky and funny. lol. I remember this group and their videos as a kid during the '80s. GenX! They were a good new wave, synthpop, post-punk, group. They were '80s and early '90s. See their other weird, humorous videos like "Hyperactive!", "Europa and the Pirate Twins", "Airhead", "I Love You Goodbye", "Windpower", " Pop Culture". . Yall are right, new wave was typically light hearted, fun odd, goofy, funny, cool, funky beats (bass guitars), dance music, . Think of it as punk rock mixed with reggae/ska, disco, techno. lol
They were similar to other new wave groups like Madness, Talking Heads, XTC, M (lex will love them, especially "Pop Muzik") , Oingo Boingo, B-52s, etc
Thomas Dolby wife (actress Kathleen Beller) is gorgeous BTW, they had kids together.
Thomas Dolby has so much really good music. His entire flat earth album is fire.
It's a shame that most people in the U.S.A. only know Thomas Dolby for this kitschy song. He is an amazing songwriter and has released albums full of incredible music. Two of my favorite albums are The Flat Earth and Aliens Ate My Buick.
Science ! Everybody loved this song back then. It was so funny and catchy and nerdy. But then again, I didn’t know of anyone who had this playing in their vehicle or house except MTV maybe.
This was a HIT when it came out. Played in all the clubs back then. Classic!
Thomas Dolby is brilliant, one of my all-time favorites. He emerged in the new wave explosion of the 80's with his all electronic music but was one of the most human of the bunch. Check out his collaboration with George Clinton, May the Cube be With You. Also, One of Our Submarines, I Love You Goodbye, The Flat Earth, I Live in a Suitcase, Budapest By Blimp, I can go on and on. One of the greats, with this very quirky video.
I love Thomas Dolby, and I especially love this song! Thanks, cats.
After his music career Thomas Dolby was a pioneer in mobile phone ring tones.
The song, "I Love You, Goodbye" has been on my playlist forever....The sounds he creates and background vocals are so mezmerizing....😌
Yes! Love that song.
Great song. Love the long version. Hey do M's "Pop Muzik"😁 Really a funny cool song
Science!
This was one of those songs we enjoyed at home on MTV but wouldn't listen to in public.
The Sci fi tv show Eureka used this song in an episode. It was sung by one of the scientist characters try to woo one of the other scientists. It fit perfectly. Great show, cool song.
The next hit he had was Hyperactive which he wrote for Michael Jackson but it was rejected so he did it himself! 'Airhead' was a later one I liked, "They think she's just a dumb blonde but they don't know she dyes her hair..." I think that was on his 'Aliens Ate my Buick' album. He always reminds me of Mad Murdoch.
I love this song it was just a feel good song. SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE! Forever!
I remember somebody coming up to Thomas Dolby and saying, "You're just a one-hit wonder." Dolby responded, "And that's one more hit than you'll ever have!"
So true.
This song was part of the song rotation at the dance hall where I lived in the 80's. It had a good beat and it was fun to dance to.
Lex, when you said, “she blinded me with chemicals!” I lost it!!! It was a shock, because when this song was popular, my husband was an exterminator and he’d gotten some of their chemicals in his eyes. We always jokingly sang this song, replacing the word “science” with “chemicals”, so to hear someone else outside of our family say that, I was happily surprised!
Thomas Dolby, he's a different kettle of fish. The story went he spent his £100,000 advance on an £80,000 Fairlight synthesizer and bought a house with the change! A good choice as it turned out.
"The Golden Age Of Wireless" is a brilliant album, really nuanced, and my favorite synth-pop album from the '80s. This song seemed more like cashing in.
Life changing song...its poetry in motion!
This! Yesssss, welcome . Loved this one so much. Didn't do more Tomas Dolby because it went too crazy. But this one was for me.
The background saying that science thing cracks me up every time bc it's random af. 🤣
'"Good Heavens, Miss Yakimoto, you're beautiful!!!!!" best part lol
His version of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, " I scare myself " is great.
You should check both!
When that song came out, the Georgia Tech band picked it up quickly and played it about as much as the fight songs. They did a great job with it, and even the visiting teams' fans liked it. Especially the women.
As wonderfully quirky as you can get, a true classic - both the song and vid! The old man exclaiming " Science!" is the cherry on top. Such a fun song!
I could recite this damn song from how many times a day it would play when working in retail for 5 years
The adorable thing about this was always Magnus Pyke, the interviewer that kept saying "She blinded ME with Science!", a real scientist appearing frequently on BBC. This topic was a bit of a meme at the time; compare this song with Oingo Boingo's WEIRD SCIENCE, the theme song for a film of the same name (Universal, 1985). I prefer Tom Dolby's longer version of this song.
Just so you know, you can yell "she blinded me with science" in any public situation. In fact, it is encouraged.
What a wild, wonderful crazy song that was back in the day.
OMG, I was so freaked out by this video then. I had to drop science class. Had to make it up before graduation though. I was diagnosed with the "Frankenstein Mock Phobia" because of this song. I tried to sue but no attorney would take my case. Now I sit alone in my room. Wait, I think they want me again.
Works well with some Landscape, early Human League and early Ultravox (John Foxx), Tubeway Army and Pete Shelly
Dolby was one of the original artists to use sampling in the early 80s as a New Wave phenom. He collaborated with and Played with David Bowie, who was his mentor. I have seen many vid's of him performing this song by himself. He has many other choice (or as you guys would say FIRE) songs such as One of our Submarines is missing and Europa. Love your channel. So fun to see young folks react to songs that were part of my college and my 20's. Peace
I was a metalhead in highschool but I always loved this song. It was cool.
Love the 80's synth pop tracks, great choise !
Loved this song in the 80's! Thomas Dolby now teaches music at NYU.
The B-side of this ("One of Our Submarines") is even better.
"Europa and the Pirate Twins" is my favorite TD song but Lena Lovitch's "New Toy" is my favorite song written by Thomas Dolby.
I remember waiting for the big reveal of this video on MTV. All of the gang went to a friends house in the neighborhood who had cable so we could watch it for the first time together. Good times in high school.
You go Brad! Breaking out the pipes! "She makes me see very clearly"...sing it Brad!!!
Science! Thanks for the memories. This song is pure fun.
The first Thomas Dolby song I heard was actually One of Our Submarines. You might check that one out. It got a modicum of air play.
One of his best songs!
@@BuffaloGoodman It's a beautiful haunting Song with the Synths setting the mood & tone for it.
Dolby has put out a lot of really good music. His very first album in 1982 was practically groundbreaking. It's too damn bad that he's best known for this goofy novelty song.
Nerd here. 80's was my gig. This was so big. TD golden!
I bought this as a single when I was in junior high misty mountain hopping memories
Good early morning from New England..Oh man I remember being 10-11 yrs old and dancing around my room blasting the 45 on the turn table...Yes I'm an old man lol... Peace from the Northeast..
One of the early innovators of 80's synth music and one of my favourites, after a decade of experimentation he produced his finest album in 1992, Astronauts & Heretics, a perfect pop album with the hit Close but no Cigar. Other fav songs include Europa & the Pirate Twins, Hyperactive, Silk Pajamas and I Love you Goodbye.
And One of Our Submarines is Missing
Videos were everything in the 80s man you had MTV Friday night videos ,late night videos everything videos I lived it 😂
This Video was a HUGE MTV Hit.
The 80's rocked!
There are videos dedicated to how brilliant the production in this song is and how to do it.
One of my favorite new wave songs.
Mutt Lange sang backup on this track. Famous Producer married to Shania Twain. Dolby was busking in Paris when he was 19 yrs old sent a tape with some of his songs to a London music publisher Lange worked for. They called Dolby in to work on Foreigner's 4 album, he played the synth intro to "Waiting For A Girl Like You." Lange also had Dolby work on Def Leppard's Pyromania album.
Fun Fact:
Angus Mangum, the guy who kept yelling out "Science"
He actually spoke that way in real life and Actually got mad at Thomas Dolby when this song hit it big
This whole album is just great. Easily one of the best records of the 1980's.
Dolby has played with a lot of people, Lene Lovich is one that comes to mind.
Like thousands of people in 1982, I raced out and bought this crazy and wacky tune.
It is very funny and very clever.
Another reason the 80's were supreme.
THE FLAT EARTH!! Wonderful Lp.
YES! a blast from the past
The older guy was a real well known scientist that was on the TV at the time, eccentric as hell 🤔 typical early eighties pop fun.
Magnus Pike
