It is time for, as the French say, un blast de le past. While my French may be suspect at best, I’m sure you will agree with me that this video for She Blinded Me with Science ranks among the legends of GeekMusic.
From the song loudly proclaiming its nerd status with science, to the video set in the Home for Deranged Scientists (a precursor to GeekPlanet?), this is prime, geekiness (prime meaning that it is a track with a numerical value greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself!). Thomas Dolby had a couple minor hits and notably (for me, anyway) laid down a couple tracks on the soundtrack to Howard the Duck.
Thomas Dolby started in music back in 1981 and is still active today, largely as a producer and session musician. In fact, he has an upcoming album called Map of the Floating City which is planned to dovetail into a multiplayer online video game of the same name. The game will come out first, and will feature the ability to download tracks from the new album and, when the players unlock the climax of the game, the album will be released! Super cool. I’ll be keeping an eye out for that.

That video is awesome! Still a cool tune, 31 years later. If Thomas Dolby somehow links up a new album with a video game… I’m playing it. I don’t even care what its about. 😉
I am remiss in not pointing out that the psychiatrist that Thomas Dolby visits in this video was actually played by Magnus Pyke. Please check out his Wikipedia page for some quick info on how awesome he was!
