Monday Morning Music - "Sweet As Any Harmony"

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science


 "She Blinded Me With Science" is a New Wave song by British musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1982.  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.  The song features interjections from the British scientist and TV presenter Magnus Pyke, who repeatedly shouts "Science!" and delivers other lines in a deliberately over-the-top mad scientist voice.

In the music video (which I couldn't embed, but here's The video you remember ), Dolby commits himself to a Home for Deranged Scientists. Various mad scientist types operate fanciful inventions on the grounds of the Home and act insane with normal scientific items. Throughout the course of the video, Magnus Pyke (as the Home Doctor) tries to diagnose what he is suffering from, all the while being seduced by Miss Sakamoto, a secretary in the Home.

Enjoy!
