She Blinded Me With Science chords by Thomas Dolby

"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. 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. Read more on Last.fm.
