Dolby the one hit wonder.

Can you be any cooler?! You know Thomas Dolby!? I love these two worlds colliding.

I understand Thomas is now a Professor. His " Europa & The Pirates Twin " single is amazing. The parody is amazing. His son sounds like him ! Brilliant.

What a fine and amiable young man he seems to be. I'm sure his father is proud of him. Thanks for this.

Thomas Dolby having a collection of periscopes makes perfect sense, "One of Our Submarines" is one of his best works! I love this so much! Long time fan of his music ❤️

Excellent ! I certainly remember Thomas Dolby from my early 80's school days , his records were always original. The parody was brilliant and a great interview. Enjoyed that ,thanks David 👍

Wow this was pretty cool thank you so much for sharing...

He nailed it with this video!

Taking me back blinding me with 'new' science, this son so had me a dancing n wailing around like I was a teenager again. 💃 Smiling, he done this video with much love and vast amount of humour. The humbleness that went into of honoring his dad in this fashion was so delightful to us viewers. What a treat of a lifetime for the dad...and for the both of you! 🎯 Do wonder what their next generation will add on on top of this parody. God willing, I will wait n see 💒 n as always, infinite blessings everyone

That. Was. Awesome!!! I LOVED Thomas Dolby in my teens and 20's then lost track of his career. His son is so charming. Thank you so much for having him on. I can't stop smiling. 😃

Thomas Dolby owns a lot of periscopes.... perfect. Made my day, any day with more Thomas Dolby is a good day.

As a Cajun, I appreciate that Thomas Dolby made the only electronic Cajun album ever. Its really good, I used to play it while I drove to Lafayette to see my fathers Aunt and to eat at Prejean's restaurant which was right near her. Thanks Mr. Dolby.

👏👏👏👏👏 I was there when MTV was new and Dolby was IT. Watching this brought back memories of old friends and good times. Thank you David and, of course, Harper! This was delightful to experience -- we're not getting a lot of that these days! 😁👍

Harper... Perhaps I'm one of the few subscribers who know of yours father's music (I'm 65). Your video is nostalgic and adorable. Thanks to you and David for sharing it with us ❤️

The apple really fell close to the tree here...loved it !

Would love to see more videos like this. We definitely need to laugh more 😂 Good work keep them coming thanks.

Wow strong resemblance! This is delightful thank you for posting it.

Very cool! I always liked Thomas Dolby!

It's great to see Harper do this and carry on the talent to the next generation. Brilliant Parody of a classic song. Nice one Harper x

Loved Thomas Dolby music way back when. Brings back fond memories. Great parody. ❤

David, you enlighten us with so much knowledge. I’m so glad that I happened upon your Chanel 🤗

That was a treat. ❤️

That was awesome and I loved the interview also! 👏👏👏👍👍

True , I’m one of those who isn’t familiar with Thomas Dolby’s work (alas) but it didn’t prevent me from enjoying every second of Harper’s video !! Absolute delight , bravo 👏!! Interesting, sweet, funny , nice shots, great music ..!!!!))))))) Thanks to son I ll look into his father’s world of music !))))) Thank you, mr Hoffman, for this present 💝

Thomas Dolby's Blinded Me With Science was my bff and mine favorite song from waaay back. It stood out from the regular poppy stuff on the radio. His son's song was great! Lol !

This was great!!!!

When we were kids, my friend's dad had a bunch of videos on tape and Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby was one of them. It played a profound influence on us and our absurd sense of humor.

Like father like son... chip off the old block

That was very cool!! Really enjoyed it but it reminded me I have to clean the fridge.....it's the song I sing and listen to....... because I always find science projects way in the back.

David Hoffman (Filmmaker) The breadth & depth & scope of your body of work, is simply astounding !! Kudos & good fortune to you, sir...Kindest regards...Cj in Oz

I love this and I grew up listening to Thomas Dolby and used to listen to that Europa and the Pirate Twins music video every day after school! What a fantastic video!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thomas Dolby during the 1st gen of MTV was bomb!

that's adorable.

What a great interview!!! So proud of Thomas Dolby's son. I am sure Thomas and Mom are so proud! Still have fond wonderful memories of MTV and watching his videos doing homework at 4 am before going to school. So miss growing up in the 70s and 80s. Thank you sir, for your informational KZfaq videos.

Thomas Dolby ? ? Holy Cow he’s your friend ? WoW that’s impressive David Hoffman film maker & Thomas Dolby sound expert ? ? The Dream Team ! ! ! !

If i was the dad I would be thrilled....so cool to have your son see you that way, fun and respectful. Don't stop Harper, keep the music going....you might have enough DNA to do it!! :-) (and thats coming from a part-time musician). I knew i recognised the tune, got it on the third guess, Europa. Reminded me i need some TD on my itunes. Thanks for the cool video and memories.

OH MY GOD I LOVE IT! 👏 He looks just like his dad. SO HANDSOME. I remember when MTV came to Gloucester (New England) and Blinded Me w/ Science played all the time, and we fell in LOVE with Thomas Dolby. And he'd FAR from a one hit wonder. He had 4 hits way back then and more now. Radio Silence was one of our faves. Europa is excellent, and his son HAS THE VOICE. TWO THUMBS WAY UP. 👍👍💕

I believe it was Harper that inadvertently introduced me to one of my favorite musicians (other than TD of course) through a cover of their song that he performed beautifully on piano. The cover was so delightful that I was inspired to check out the musician being covered and the rest is history. As is true with so much on the internet, the original video was deleted and has (from what I know) been lost to time. I miss that version of the song but it's so great to see Harper still carries on his father's musical legacy to this day :)

Pure GENIUS...☺!!! Harper TOTALLY nailed it...🥰😍🤩!!! Thanks for sharing...😊☺😇.

This is BRILL! Thank you, David Hoffman! Best/Cheers Thomas and Harper Dolby!

I just watched Thomas Dolby's video on TV and to see his son doing this one is so freaking great loved it thanks David

You can tell from the video the love and admiration for his dad 💜

Thanks for sharing this David. I've been a fan of Thomas' work since the early 80s and finally got to meet him on his book tour a couple of years ago. Once we got past the autographs and geek fanboy questions we had a beer and compared parenting notes as we both share a similar life experience to that which Thomas, Kathleen & Harper have so positively gone through. Probably one of the more surreal but rewarding conversations I've had.

This was a real treat. Thank you Harper, David and Thomas. So much of dad in the attitude, the humour and the technical creativity, I think. And ioved the singing too!

Great video. Pure homage to his star dad.

I’m a Dolby fan from way back and this is the sweetest video! What a lovely tribute! He even has the facial expressions nailed down!

This is so completely delightful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Europa And The Pirate Twins holds a very special place in my heart, and this spoof is so much fun!

Love Thomas Dolby an 80s New Wave electronic icon! Brilliant Video

Loved it! I had seen his father’s work! This was wonderful!!!

Adorable

that was brilliant, thank you both, and Thomas!

This video came to me via the youtube algorithm as I'm a fan of Thomas Dolby. Harper you nailed it, perfect lyrics!

Europa and the Pirate Twins has always been one of my faves. Harper NAILED IT! Love love love the parody

A serious level of Fun !! I enjoyed hearing the love from son to father. I'm dealing with the span of time that has past since She Blinded Me With Science was released , I was 20 something. And I will stop there. Thanks

Loved his father! Blinded by Science was a very cool video back in the day. This video is spot on!

I remember Mr Dolby! Love it!😊💖🎶🎶

I love this. I always bought Thomas Dolby albums

Great job harper !!! Love it !! And thank you for posting this mr. Hoffman🙏❤🇺🇸

Wow, Mr H!! Thanks for that. I didn't know about either of them (that I'm aware of😆) I really enjoyed this video. Also, in this one, there's something about your expression and eyes and your whole face lights up and you're a young boy again, especially without your cap on 😁🤩❣️Whatever you're up to suits you and is shining through. Thank you for everything you do and share with us❣️🤩🌈💖 Greetings from UK

That's more catchy than the virus

That was brilliant. Thanks David for posting such a wonderful video. Absolutely loved it!

Really glad I came across this video, brilliant, thank you for uploading 👍

Loved it.

This is awesome! Dolby's stuff is great and till this day i had no idea he even had kids. Yeah this song is super catchy :D Alrighty i'm convinced. This works and turned out just amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! Harper, this was a great tribute. :) That was absolutely lovely!

This was very cool. Well done, sir. He is his father's son. Thank you for sharing

Love this, I’m a huge TD fan. Well done!

A beautiful film and lovely tribute to Europa. Comedy and love and passionate artwork. Love you Harper and your dad too! The

Omgoodness I so loved his dads music...Hot Sauce..Bri gs back memories that whole album I loved!! An young Sir it was bloody well good....I was cracking up laughing.... loved it!!! You always surprise me I never know how your posts will hit me .... In the Roll-a-dex in my head of stuff!!! ❤😊🍷❗

The Live Aid performance by Bowie is one of the greatest things on film I have ever seen. Every time the band are introduced ( with the backing singers misnamed as Tess Niles points out in her autobiography) it is so exciting to see them launch into the most sublime performance of 'Heroes'. Thomas Dolby's role as musical director for the brief rehearsals in the week before set the scene for an amazing set that has not dated one bit since that glorious July 13th day in 1985. I bought the DVD in 2004 and watch it periodically all this time later.

You know what Dave...??? Your channel and your composition is a healthy dose of life and its implications...thank you

LOL, vacuuming the dog, that was classic!

Thomas Dolby is one of my biggest heroes and influences in life and music. Thankyou for this,,,awsome,love it Ahh the eighties as a teenager...Thomas Dolby , Devo, Pink Floyd and Howard Jones....best time to be alive !

I LOVE THIS! She Blinded me with Science was one of my favorite songs and music videos growing up, and I live within a mile of Johns Hopkins. I remember when the Baltimore Sun published an article about him being a professor there... I always hoped I'd bump into him around town!

Love Thomas, and last saw him at The Mean Fiddler, Willesden in the early 90's. Harper did a brilliant job. Twas great fun!

One of our submarines and Flying north are such brilliant songs. Harper... excellent job on the video!

Love that you two are friends. Two favorites of mine :).

Absolutely familiar with Thomas Dolby. Europa was always a favourite of mine. Very wholesome parody, too. great stuff

Awesome ! Thanks for the musical vaccination! Peace from Detroit MI.

Europa and the Pirate Twins is one of my favorites, and hearing his son remake it is very delightful and funny, but also kinda nostalgic.

Thomas Dolby worked on the soundtrack and appeared in the 1986 film ‘Howard the Duck’!

You look like your Dad and this was AWESOME! One of my fav artists in 80s 🥰

Beautiful smile on that kid! Yep, just like dad's........................

Great video! Thanks for sharing it!

Hey Harper! Trust me. Your dad is proud of you :) *hugs*

Absolutely brilliant.

I had no idea who Dolby is, but I still enjoyed the video - Harper did a great job! I ended up watching a live performance of “She Blinded Me with Science”, which I did recognize once I heard it 😀 That line also happens to be in the intro of one of my favorite podcasts, The Mad FIentist.

Harper seems like a really nice guy!

Cute. Guy’s talented! Remarkable tribute to his dad. Europa, Windpower, and Science were all top 50.

What a nice video David. Thanks a lot. Ohh how I love Thomas Dolby's music. I still play him very often.... Prefab Sprout as well. How privileged you are to know him personally. Yes, Harper has 50%of his great father. Probably more😉

Brilliant! Thanks!

Harper is so cool! I hope he and his father are doing well now in 2024. :)

Turning something bad into something.... Creative!

Young man, you did quit well! You look so much like, your Dad Dolby! Your musical parity skills are magnificent! I was Blinded With Science! 🎶 🎹🎶💕💃 🎶

WHAT A TREAT! HARPER IS DEFINITELY A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK! Sending to everyone I know & shall Tweet tomorrow (due to Graduating TOGETHER w/President Obama here in the U.S. airing tonight👍👍)... THANK YOU - ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON AS WE'RE ALL GOING AROUND THE BEND! 🎼🎶🎹🎤🙏

Such a lovely family, you can really hear it when they both speak in the two interviews I have seen now, so thoughtful and intelligent. Your love of humanity is so evident and uplifting David. Thomas Dolby rocks!!!

Delightful!

Thomas Dolby....... Fantastic..... Mini Dolby...... Fantastic..... Spoof Video..... Fantastic

No one ever seems to remember Windpower and that was my favourite

Harper is absolutely adorable!
