Time has been a very good friend to Mr. Dolby!

Hah, had a classmate in science class when this song was a hit, who would randomly blurt out "Science!" at the most unexpected and hilarious moments. Had to be there, I guess.

Golden age of wireless is a masterpiece still !

A great song that was really pushing the envelope back in the day. It is really like an anthem of the 80s.

It doesn’t get any more 80’s than this!

I remember Bowie’s set at Live Aid when he introduced him as the very brilliant Thomas Dolby👏👏praise indeed from a God.

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.

Nothing short of genius, loved this song then and now.

I wish I could go back to 1982.

Aah Thomas.....back in the days when we were all young men and the world seemed so bright......

She Blinded Me With Science is among my five favorite 1980s pop music. BRAVO!

Sheer genius! That song was no accident. Still plays well...

Doctor Magnus Pyke was such an inspirational 'science superhero' to me. This song was iconic to me as was the album that followed. Thumbs up

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.

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.

This man really is a musical and tech genius. I wish he was still making music today. We need his innovation.

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.

This song is still stuck in my head.

I wish SCIENCE would hurry up and invent a time machine so I could go back to the 80's. 🤓

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.

I'm glad this song was a breakthrough for him but "Airwaves" is one of the best songs ever! Mr. Dolby looking good 😘

The song was like Funky Town. You loved it and couldn't stop singing it. Summer camp memories and an old cassette recorder. "SCIENCE!"

I used to dance my ass off as a teenager to this in Detroit popping & waving shout out to Mr.Dolby for this dope street classic.

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.

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.

This song sounds really great cranked. Love the groove and the low end. Of course the video is hilarious!

This really stood out for me in 1982. It was so new sounding

As a metal / hard rock guitarist I've still always loved this song. My favorite new wave tune.

This is one of the few 80s hits that still holds up.

This song was such the shyte back in the day! Everybody was rocking it. Love hearing the story behind it. Thank you.

Thomas Dolby has become one of my favorite speakers and music historians. I want more!

Brilliant. Huge fan of Thomas Dolby here.

I adored this song and still do. Wore out the 12 inch single along with the the flip side of "One of Our Submarines Is Missing."

these stories are FANTASTIC! thank you!

I love this tune. It's actually funky as hell and the mad scientist vibe is fun too. The rest of the album is just as good.

What a delightful trip back to a fantastic decade. Thanks!

I love that he has a philosophy about how he feels music videos relate to silent movies. That's a deep thinker right there.. good on you Mr. Dolby

Always brings back great high school memories !

The video is as incredible as the song. Sort of a mystery tour of iconry and symbolism from the ages. Spot on Tommy boy!

That was so cool, loved the song and love hearing the back story!

35 years later and Mr. Dolby you are looking so GOOD!

This was a great time to be in college radio.

Dang Mr. Dolby is looking great, that album was decades ahead of it’s time, I still listen in amazement.

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.

Love this song, love the video! Magnus Pyke was a character. Loved Europa and Radio Silence too.

If you're only gonna have one hit to be remembered by and to have to play a billion times, how coo for it to be this song. It's an amazing song that captured an era and is still fun to listen to.

Without a doubt one of my favorite songs from the 80's. A true classic.

One of my all time favorite artists from the 1980s.

Another one of those great tunes of the 80's. Always been among my favorites.

Such sparkling eyes. Filled with passion.

I really enjoy how the song is playing in the background as Mr Dolby is twiddling the knobs. Not intrusive at all.

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.

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!

These stories on these 80s videos are so so fun and interesting to watch. I was a kid , a teenager in the 80s

Love this song! Mr. Dolby still has it!

He's right, the unique sound, along with the entertaining video on MTV, definitely made this a hit at the time.

Thomas Dolby, pioneer of electronic music 🎶. One of our submarines is missing.. pure gold!

One of the best songs of the 80s!

Amazing this still a masterpiece today. Pure science

All these tubes & wires, and I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING! One of my favorite songs of all time, seriously.

That's one heck of a video!!! It's a classic example of pure genius! Dolby style!!!

This took me right back to the 10th grade. That was New Wave heaven.

Thomas was and is underrated

The young Thomas Dolby bears a striking resemblance to Alton Brown.

One of my all time favorite songs

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 think Thomas Dolby's aliens ate my Buick is a shockingly underrated album

That's very cool! I met him at an Electronic Music Seminar at Salem State College back in 1988. He was very nice.

Thomas Dolby! Genius! Aliens Ate My Buick....Budapest By Blimp and the rest! Great! Hyperactive and those too! Great funk and fun:)

Mr Dolby if you ever get bored and read this comment I just wanted to say thank you. The song was great but I think the video was exceptional.

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!

Absolutely brilliant man and musician.

Clicked on this because I thought the thumbnail was Bruce Willis. Glad I did. This was awesome! And Bruce Willis wasn't in it!

He was on the 2019 Star Trek cruise and talked a great deal about the background of the song and his methods. Really nice guy.

One of the best channels on the internet.

This is so perfect!!!

I loved this song@ I still sing it sometimes! The 80's music was great!

No doubt, my favorite 80s song ..still gives me a giddy feeling when I hear it ♥️

One of the top 5 music videos!

What a classic song.

Glad to see you looking well, Thomas Dolby! Thanks for all the great tunes!

I *love* that he came up with the video - and THEN the song - awesome!

Iconic tune and video from the infant days of MTV. Who wasn’t blurting out random “Science!” back then. Still do, except now people think I just have Tourette’s.

I remember this being the hugest hit when MTV first came out. I cannot hear the song and not think how it epitomized the early '80s.

Wow this channel is a real treasure

Brilliant videos. Every one. Really wish they were much longer! But great stuff!

really *LOVING* this content - so many awesome memories of great iconic songs and I love love LOVE hearing the history and background of them - always been curious about this - 'what is this song about' 'what inspired it' - thank you so much for doing this - really appreciate it

I sure miss the 80s. not just best music of any decade but best decade for everything. life in general. so much positive energy.

Really awesome video. Thank you.

I didnt have a terrible childhood really, but this is old enough and brings back memories...gawd im old...depressing.

That was awesome, the science guy! OMFG, he was real!

Brilliant song that's as modern and entertaining today as it was back then.

LOVE this tune...

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

Who doesn't love Miss Sakamoto...Great tune in a deep catalog of great tunes...Mr. Dolby!

i loved the video, seeing how he made it, made it better. timeless

Ah the good old 80s.

It's poetry in motion...❤️🎵

Still listening to Thomas

I love Thomas Dubly.
