a great song, recorded very well, great imagination even though he only hit gold one time. and Dolby was only a stage name as I recall due to Dolby being the "hot-thing" for noise reduction for tape recordings back in the day, however, it chopped off your high frequencies. I liked DBX better, but it never really caught on, too expensive!
@thecolaratlady You're right! AB patterned GOOD EATS on this video. Before his cooking show and Food tv stuff, in the 80's he was a videographer and worked on several music videos including some by REM. He combined his love of science and food and video production and the rest is history!
Here's a fancy potato, Angels faces appeared on the wall as something to open. Former president George Walker Bush in the form of kinetic energy zapped Jonathan Spellman out of a street light pole giving telepathic abilities.Celebrity women spirits flew through tv. by mental&hands teaching communication. Which he used to catch Satan in Bill Gates.Bill Designed the$20.00 bill that show exactly how pentagon &twins towers was hit.
It's funny that back then the secretary's actions were considered a bit risque. Climbing a ladder while wearing a skirt that went past your knees, omg!!!
OMG! This song really sets off that 80's feeling! I remember listening to my radio anticipating for this song to come on. I fell in love with this song right away. I saw the video on Mtv and it was awesome but there is just something about this song. Of course being a young teen back then, I didnt get what he was saying here, hahaha but I do now! :-D There is sooo many awesome memories of that time. I had the funnest and craziest times back then. The best times for sure! Oh how I miss it! :-(
@thecarebearhideaway Today MTV is just "16 & Pregnant" and "I used to be fat" and all that shit, it was much better in the 80's......... oh and I forgot.....................SCIENCE!
@KegRiese Boy, dont I know it! Mtv needs to know when to call it quits. That channel lost its glory a LONG time ago. I believe the fat lady has sung here! :-D
@Hot80s yup,too bad were stuck with the saccharine ,almost Musak-like crapola of U2 and Foo-Fighters,Nickelback and LadyGaga these days. Total crap with the monotone vocals(no range) choruses homonymous with the choruses (bad songwriting) and unremarkable instrumental breaks(zero musicianship)... kinda sad when you gotta go back to the 60`s-70`s-80`s for good pop/rock..
Dolby calls the character he created in this a "Slightly forlorn mad scientist." He says some of his personality is in the character.
This was Dolby's only hit in the US, although he had a few hit singles in England.
The speaking voice parts were done by Magnus Pyke. His trademark was yelling "Science!" throughout the show he hosted. Dolby, who was raised in London, liked the idea of bringing Pyke to an American audience, and thought he was a perfect character for the video.
@stovetop29 you apparently can't appreciate good music, or music that was once incredibly popular and actually took work to make and was actually a show of talent.
@Ylossk Yes. Steampunk before it was cool. Dolby is an uber-technogeek who probably created at least one of the ringtones on your cell phone (or some of the software in it!).
I drive through Panama City at night with my windows rolled down and have this song playing really loud to impress the college chicks. Greg Kihn Band's Jeopardy is another one I blast!
August 1984, Virginia Beach Va. Live at Peabody's, Thomas Dolby! What was great for all of us was that Peabody's was a small club without a stage. So my wife and I were about 2 ft away and face to face with Thomas Dolby
Man what's so great about science anyways? It was never my best subject in school. I was into English and Math and Biology.
