She blinded me with science!….SCIENCE!

Among the annals of musical ideas gone horribly awry, the 80’s, overburdened with its synthesizers and bad hair spawned an exceptional number of entries. Yet, despite my general dislike for such music, the song “She blinded me with science” by Thomas Dolby has a peculiar, hilarious awesomeness I find hard to explain. Maybe it encapsulates best the weird absurdity of synthpop in all its artistic vanity…or maybe its just poetry in motion.  Sing it with me “Science! Science!”
