She Blinded Me With Science
Thomas Dolby Lyrics
It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in biology, yeah-yeah
Now-uh, huh-huh
Blinding me with science, science
Science
I can smell the chemicals
Blinding me with science, science
Science
Science
Mm no, but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry
When she's dancing next to me
Blinding me with science, science
Science
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
I can hear machinery
Blinding me with science, science
Science
Huh, it's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology
Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful
I, I don't believe it
There she goes again
She's tidied up and I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires
Careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Uh, she's blinding me with science
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with

"She Blinded Me With Science" is a New Wave song by British musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1982. It first appeared on the album The Golden Age of Wireless. It is a quirky, playful synth-pop song featuring synthesizer sounds.
Most of the effects and the bass line were made with a Moog synthesizer. At the time, this was no easy task. Speaking with Songfacts about this song in a 2011 interview, Dolby said: "When I started out writing songs, synthesizers were still quite a rarified luxury.

Speaking with Songfacts about this song in a 2011 interview, Dolby said: "When I started out writing songs, synthesizers were still quite a rarified luxury. They were quite hard to get hands on and quite hard to operate. And when you did, there was still quite a lot of resistance in the mainstream to music made electronically. And so that was a natural place for me to be, because I wanted to be challenged and stimulated like that."
The song's chorus, "She blinded me with science," plays upon the colloquial British expression "to blind [someone] with science," meaning to deliberately confuse someone by giving the impression of highly complex knowledge. In the song, however, the phrase is interpreted as a straightforward reference to the natural sciences.
The song features interjections from the British scientist and TV presenter Dr. Magnus Pyke, who repeatedly shouts "Science!" and delivers other lines in a deliberately over-the-top "mad scientist" voice, the most famous line of which was, "Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You're beautiful!"
The song was showcased as part of Dolby's appearance at the South by Southwest 2007 music festival.

Hah!
It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in biology
Yeah-eah!
Huh-huh!
When I'm dancing close to her
(Blinding me with science - science!)
"Science!"
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science - science!)
"Science!"
"Science!"
Mmm now but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in geometry
Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh

And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Uhhh - but she blinded me with science

A few facts about this video:
- Thomas Dolby came up with the idea for the video before coming up with the song. He wrote the song just to have something to fit his "Home for Deranged Scientists" music video concept.
- The lab assistant in the video is Siobhan Barron, a vogue model and Steve Barron's producer and sister. Thomas met her when he was looking to hire Steve to director for the video. She looked at his video concept drawings, was impressed, and encouraged him to direct it himself.
- Magnus Pyke, the main scientist in the video, could not escape people coming up to him publicly and yelling "SCIENCE!!!". He lamented that people knew him better from She Blinded Me With Science then they did for his scientific work.
PS, please check out Dolby's album The Golden Age of Wireless. It's a wonderful piece of work and turned me into a huge fan of is. He has so many underrated songs.

I yell out SCIENCE whenever I get mad instead of swearing which makes me laugh and forget what troubled me.

Gosh I need to start doing that with my own potty mouth.
