She blinded me with science
I’m in a good, if whimsical, mood today.

And so, and in the hope of spreading it around (like the weird zombie head cold that’s going around, but better), I thought I’d share a song and accompanying music video.
She Blinded Me With Science was released in 1982 by British New Wave musician Thomas Dolby. It did pretty well in the States, and was #1 for a coupla weeks in Canadia* (huzzah!), but not so much in the UK.
Anyhoo, it’s great fun, and makes me want to dance in a cheesy 80s way. Which can only be a good thing, right?
UPDATE: And, of course, there are the _ways_ in which she could have blinded me with science. Mad props and HTs to/at @droneale for this one. Also, we heart McSweeney’s 🙂

A couple of trivia questions for you Aimee
Name the scientist and science communicator who features in the video.
And what British science TV show did he host?
wiki say Magnus Pyke, of Don’t Ask Me 😛
Very good.
