When I was in middle school seeing these videos when they were new I had NO idea he was losing his hair. Just thought maybe he had a high forehead like me. He claimed his hair started falling out when he was 21 which would have been 1979ish. Like mine his hair fell out pretty slow. My baldness started when I was only 19 in 1988. I held on to it until 1999 when I started shaving my head. He's ten years and two months to the day older than me. He embraced his baldness but as of 2024 he got new hair and explained it. Loved his memoir too. Love Thomas Dolby.
@@fredwerza3478 I see what you mean, although I don't entirely agree. :) There are plenty of bands and artists that I know off who are making music today, and whom I absolutely adore. They make me feel alive and they help me experience & process all kinds of emotions. So I wouldn't say that there is _no_ good music today 🤗
It used to be a lot more common. Turns out when you can make up for poor performance with advanced studio production methods, talent and musicianship are no longer as important as marketability. Cream has always risen to the top, but now turds do, too.
Happy Birthday Thomas Dolby born on October 14, 1958. He is an English musician, and composer. Dolby came to prominence in the 1980's, releasing hit singles including She Blinded Me with Science and Hyperactive!. The stage name Thomas Dolby originated from a nickname "Dolby" that he picked up in the early 1970's, when he was "always messing around with keyboards and tapes". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Dolby
Thomas, please put the mirror song from your toys soundtrack on your channel. That is great stuff many people remember that Robin Williams scene with Joan Cusack and that is just another one of your great contributions to film
@@dimarks444 oh i see . in one live version of this song i watched he is playing a synthesizer , so i thought he may be the inventor . why do you like this song ? i only like it because of the synthesizer in it . it's my favorite musical instrument , with the electric guitar a close second . i like the synthesizer / electric keyboards because of all the different sounds it can make . cool , or kind of eerie , neat , powerful , or even kind of heavenly sounds . thats the only reason i listen to music like this , pop or new wave . i like rock and metal better but i listen to music like this all the time too
@@warrenbuchanan2718 It came out when all of my classmates were starting out in their careers as great scientists in so many fields. I recently sent this to a cousin who’s a professor of marine biology. She is stunning with long dark hair and she scuba dives directing the men in the freezing Norwegian Sea as well! The words are funny, especially when the “professor” cuts in. There’s a video of Dolby describing how he made the song and it’s delightful.
@@dimarks444 not a coincidence, Dolby was his stage name becouse 'he liked to play with tapes'. Dolby Labs. sued Thomas as they said that he was illegally using their trademark.
Interesting. in concert he sings it 2 or 3 keys higher than the original version. Often artists will sing a song in a key or 2 lower than the original.

This is the most 80's thing to ever exist
Hahaha! Totally agree!
Real Equipment, Real Instruments, Real Talent.
His voice is as smooth as butter. He was really handsome when he was younger, lol!
I imagine that everyone at his concerts were just waiting patiently all night for him to perform this one song.

This really makes me wish I was alive during the 80s 😍 Amazing music!
It was the best time !!!
I feel bad for Millenials and Zoomers --- music today has no heart and soul --- back in the 80's it had both in spades

First off, he's handsome.
But I love how he mouths along with his samples. So talented.
I love a hot nerdy British tech genius musician . No one like him.
Oh I'm stupid. I thought he was actually doing the background voices lol
That’s what I’m saying. Damn pretty as hell, yet also cool and nerdy at the same time lol
Dolby is genius. He opened for Depeche Mode at Pasadena in 1988
I wish I was at that concert so bad
I remember when I first heard this Song as a Kid . I thought it was weird, hyper , and crazy as I'll get out and I LOVED it.
Awesome, incredible talent ,this man is a genius!!!!!
Massive hit at NYC nightclubs in 1982
The lines were long... with tickets!!!!
He sings better live. A very rare trait.
Isnt that something
He's lip syncing moron fool

Woah, this is a great live version...
1982 grabs me by the balls everytime I here this fantastic song!
One of my favorite songs from the 80s. Semper Fi
This is what talent looks like. Typically starts young
2:10 He knew what he was doing here :)
no doubt ;D
who, the animators?
2:40 joy.. pure 80s
Yes it is. One of my favorite songs from the 80s.
What a flood of great memories this song brings
I had a major crush on Thomas, so great to see this channel on UA-cam.
You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. 🌹
Thomas should always use those glasses. Those were his signature. They gave his look something special.
Superb track, I remember it well 😊
Does anyone realize what a genius Thomas Dolby is??
Yes! He's a seriously talented man who deserved much more success in Britain.
He is indeed a genius and handsome too ❤❤❤
He is indeed a genius, and handsome too.❤❤❤😊

He is so good
Coming to you in 2023 like “Hell yea, this is music “
So good! Awesome!
I love this song I grew up listening to it
RARE LIVE --- VERY GOOD
Una clásica pieza del pop progresivo que se hizo en los 80s, con su dosis de humor y otros detalles más
❤ i love the Musica 🎶 bem a frente do tempo 📚
the mixing here>>>>
musical genius
That was excellent!!!
Canta muito, gostei....
I'm sure Thomas got invites to a lot of cookouts back off this one song alone
Baaaaad man,period, funky macabrè!
rare talent
The best!
Is that Billy Currie from Ultravox on violin? Sure looks like he did back then...
No one: how turned on are you by 1980s Thomas Dolby?
Me: Yes.
ok i have crush now
Sang Dolby! Sang!
I always thought this track should have been at this speed
Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins University.
Thomas, please put the mirror song from your toys soundtrack on your channel. That is great stuff many people remember that Robin Williams scene with Joan Cusack and that is just another one of your great contributions to film
Ok why is he so hot though
RIGHT?!?!
upon further review, I think it's at least partially because of 2:12
Yup!
His eatons are high!
This guy could get any girl he wants 😅
🔥
I always said this was a weird ass goofball song and it still is a a weird ass goofball song
Kick Ass!
She blinded me with ideology!
2023 this still relevant
She was I. the ocean 🌊
Should of been a Revenge of the Nerds song
Yes it should HAVE!
I wish you could hear what his voice sounds like naked on the "blinded me with science, science" part.
Mobb Deep ~~~ Got It Twisted!!!
He reminds me a bit of Elton John
Rip dj spinbad ! ❤
It was like FEAR vs. Black Flag vs. Thomas Dolby
can anyone tell me , is he the dolby that made the noise reduction system for stereos ? i was just wondering since he is a musician
No. It's a coincidence.

Computer Science of the sciences. "Whatever works." " I dunno -whatever doesn't." "I know - whatever works - but doesn't. The Placebo effect.

Brazil, tasty

This is the kind of music geek that even Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree would wanna beat up and steal lunch money from

Thomas Dolby looks so much like Anothy from Revenge of the Nerds lol
🔥💥✌️🎵🌌⏳🍃
A half tone above ? Strange
he has no business being hot
Mtv With Jenny McCarthy❤
Elton John's unrecognized son.
… and thanks to the Science and Art of Hair Systems Technology he got his nice 80s haircut back. Hypercool guy.
Alton Brown is a good singer
I didn’t know Alton Brown was in a band…
I need a second with you Mac. You’re my honey.
.....Alton brown?
He looks like Elton John here.
I think Aliens ate my Buick.

I don’t like this version 😩
Too bad , love.
