Okay, cruel, because the wonder is that anyone has a hit, when it meant something. By the way, Europa, Windpower, and Science were top 50. Remarkable tribute to his dad.
I understand Thomas is now a Professor. His " Europa & The Pirates Twin " single is amazing. The parody is amazing. His son sounds like him ! Brilliant.
Excellent ! I certainly remember Thomas Dolby from my early 80's school days , his records were always original. The parody was brilliant and a great interview. Enjoyed that ,thanks David 👍
Thomas Dolby having a collection of periscopes makes perfect sense, "One of Our Submarines" is one of his best works! I love this so much! Long time fan of his music ❤️
I believe it was Harper that inadvertently introduced me to one of my favorite musicians (other than TD of course) through a cover of their song that he performed beautifully on piano. The cover was so delightful that I was inspired to check out the musician being covered and the rest is history. As is true with so much on the internet, the original video was deleted and has (from what I know) been lost to time. I miss that version of the song but it's so great to see Harper still carries on his father's musical legacy to this day :)
Harper... Perhaps I'm one of the few subscribers who know of yours father's music (I'm 65). Your video is nostalgic and adorable. Thanks to you and David for sharing it with us ❤️
That. Was. Awesome!!! I LOVED Thomas Dolby in my teens and 20's then lost track of his career. His son is so charming. Thank you so much for having him on. I can't stop smiling. 😃
Taking me back blinding me with 'new' science, this son so had me a dancing n wailing around like I was a teenager again. 💃 Smiling, he done this video with much love and vast amount of humour. The humbleness that went into of honoring his dad in this fashion was so delightful to us viewers. What a treat of a lifetime for the dad...and for the both of you! 🎯 Do wonder what their next generation will add on on top of this parody. God willing, I will wait n see 💒 n as always, infinite blessings everyone
👏👏👏👏👏 I was there when MTV was new and Dolby was IT. Watching this brought back memories of old friends and good times. Thank you David and, of course, Harper! This was delightful to experience -- we're not getting a lot of that these days! 😁👍
Off topic, but I hope u watched his 'the most unusual and sad story I ever recorded' off of this channel here. If not, I hope u do. You will never not think about it every day. To this day, best video of a real story I ever watched. N as always, infinite blessings to all
InHisHonor InfinityX3 - if you want or like I’ll send you a link to similar stories but if you come to my page...i do Not want to disrespect David’s channel...
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT! 👏 He looks just like his dad. SO HANDSOME. I remember when MTV came to Gloucester (New England) and Blinded Me w/ Science played all the time, and we fell in LOVE with Thomas Dolby. And he'd FAR from a one hit wonder. He had 4 hits way back then and more now. Radio Silence was one of our faves. Europa is excellent, and his son HAS THE VOICE. TWO THUMBS WAY UP. 👍👍💕
True , I’m one of those who isn’t familiar with Thomas Dolby’s work (alas) but it didn’t prevent me from enjoying every second of Harper’s video !! Absolute delight , bravo 👏!! Interesting, sweet, funny , nice shots, great music ..!!!!))))))) Thanks to son I ll look into his father’s world of music !))))) Thank you, mr Hoffman, for this present 💝
When we were kids, my friend's dad had a bunch of videos on tape and Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby was one of them. It played a profound influence on us and our absurd sense of humor.
As a Cajun, I appreciate that Thomas Dolby made the only electronic Cajun album ever. Its really good, I used to play it while I drove to Lafayette to see my fathers Aunt and to eat at Prejean's restaurant which was right near her. Thanks Mr. Dolby.
Thomas Dolby's Blinded Me With Science was my bff and mine favorite song from waaay back. It stood out from the regular poppy stuff on the radio. His son's song was great! Lol !
If i was the dad I would be thrilled....so cool to have your son see you that way, fun and respectful. Don't stop Harper, keep the music going....you might have enough DNA to do it!! :-) (and thats coming from a part-time musician). I knew i recognised the tune, got it on the third guess, Europa. Reminded me i need some TD on my itunes. Thanks for the cool video and memories.
What a great interview!!! So proud of Thomas Dolby's son. I am sure Thomas and Mom are so proud! Still have fond wonderful memories of MTV and watching his videos doing homework at 4 am before going to school. So miss growing up in the 70s and 80s. Thank you sir, for your informational UA-cam videos.
This was a real treat. Thank you Harper, David and Thomas. So much of dad in the attitude, the humour and the technical creativity, I think. And ioved the singing too!
This is so completely delightful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Europa And The Pirate Twins holds a very special place in my heart, and this spoof is so much fun!
Thanks for sharing this David. I've been a fan of Thomas' work since the early 80s and finally got to meet him on his book tour a couple of years ago. Once we got past the autographs and geek fanboy questions we had a beer and compared parenting notes as we both share a similar life experience to that which Thomas, Kathleen & Harper have so positively gone through. Probably one of the more surreal but rewarding conversations I've had.
That was very cool!! Really enjoyed it but it reminded me I have to clean the fridge.....it's the song I sing and listen to....... because I always find science projects way in the back.
This is awesome! Dolby's stuff is great and till this day i had no idea he even had kids. Yeah this song is super catchy :D Alrighty i'm convinced. This works and turned out just amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! Harper, this was a great tribute. :) That was absolutely lovely!
Omgoodness I so loved his dads music...Hot Sauce..Bri gs back memories that whole album I loved!! An young Sir it was bloody well good....I was cracking up laughing.... loved it!!! You always surprise me I never know how your posts will hit me .... In the Roll-a-dex in my head of stuff!!! ❤😊🍷❗
Thomas Dolby is one of my biggest heroes and influences in life and music. Thankyou for this,,,awsome,love it Ahh the eighties as a teenager...Thomas Dolby , Devo, Pink Floyd and Howard Jones....best time to be alive !
Wow, Mr H!! Thanks for that. I didn't know about either of them (that I'm aware of😆) I really enjoyed this video. Also, in this one, there's something about your expression and eyes and your whole face lights up and you're a young boy again, especially without your cap on 😁🤩❣️Whatever you're up to suits you and is shining through. Thank you for everything you do and share with us❣️🤩🌈💖 Greetings from UK
I love this and I grew up listening to Thomas Dolby and used to listen to that Europa and the Pirate Twins music video every day after school! What a fantastic video!
David Hoffman (Filmmaker) The breadth & depth & scope of your body of work, is simply astounding !! Kudos & good fortune to you, sir...Kindest regards...Cj in Oz
Such a lovely family, you can really hear it when they both speak in the two interviews I have seen now, so thoughtful and intelligent. Your love of humanity is so evident and uplifting David. Thomas Dolby rocks!!!
What a nice video David. Thanks a lot. Ohh how I love Thomas Dolby's music. I still play him very often.... Prefab Sprout as well. How privileged you are to know him personally. Yes, Harper has 50%of his great father. Probably more😉
David, you never fail to surprise and delight with your eclectic output! This video is awesome. A talented guy, just like his marvellous dad, TD. Thank you!
I loved it. As someone who saw the very first broadcast of MTV, I'm very familiar with Thomas Dolby and his videos. Brought back memories of better times as a teenager, and also was a cute parody that played into the current situation that we are dealing with all over the world. Loved him vacuuming the dog!
The Live Aid performance by Bowie is one of the greatest things on film I have ever seen. Every time the band are introduced ( with the backing singers misnamed as Tess Niles points out in her autobiography) it is so exciting to see them launch into the most sublime performance of 'Heroes'. Thomas Dolby's role as musical director for the brief rehearsals in the week before set the scene for an amazing set that has not dated one bit since that glorious July 13th day in 1985. I bought the DVD in 2004 and watch it periodically all this time later.
I LOVE THIS! She Blinded me with Science was one of my favorite songs and music videos growing up, and I live within a mile of Johns Hopkins. I remember when the Baltimore Sun published an article about him being a professor there... I always hoped I'd bump into him around town!
A serious level of Fun !! I enjoyed hearing the love from son to father. I'm dealing with the span of time that has past since She Blinded Me With Science was released , I was 20 something. And I will stop there. Thanks
FAVORITES!!! Awesome interview! So endearing. She blinded me with science was one of my favorite songs in high school. i sing the song all the time still because it's a fun song and everything in our life revolves around science. Now this Coronavirus video, Yep! Smiling! True and love it! Thank You for the SMILES!
I only discovered Dolby yesterday! I love your work too but haven't seen you in my feed for AGES. hope you're well... you're such an asset with such wisdom... eg on getting along irrespective of differences especially of opinion.
Thanks for the interview! Thomas Dolby, all time fav! Still listening and discovering more and more of his music. Aliens and Flat Earth I bought new.. in vinyl! I loved the parody when I heard it too but it wasn't until I saw this interview that I realized it was his son! Good job! More please ;)
I'm 51 I'm very familiar with your father music he's amazing. I'm an absolutely fan of your father. Thank you for doing this video. I really enjoyed it. You're very talented I hope you keep making music. Before you know it you'll be as great as your dad. Keep it up.
WHAT A TREAT! HARPER IS DEFINITELY A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK! Sending to everyone I know & shall Tweet tomorrow (due to Graduating TOGETHER w/President Obama here in the U.S. airing tonight👍👍)... THANK YOU - ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON AS WE'RE ALL GOING AROUND THE BEND! 🎼🎶🎹🎤🙏
Thomas Dolby is a favorite of mine! Saw him at Irvine Meadows outdoor amphitheater for my birthday back in the day and it was so great! Harper's parody video is so much fun. I had seen it once before but I had no idea he was his son. :)
Talented guy. It would be a good video résumé for Harper if his day job didn’t work out. 🧨🧨 P.S. I wished my dad collected periscopes. I might inherit them someday‼️
Dolby the one hit wonder.

Thomas Dolby owns a lot of periscopes.... perfect. Made my day, any day with more Thomas Dolby is a good day.
Can you be any cooler?! You know Thomas Dolby!? I love these two worlds colliding.
+100

It's great to see Harper do this and carry on the talent to the next generation. Brilliant Parody of a classic song. Nice one Harper x
When we were kids, my friend's dad had a bunch of videos on tape and Hyperactive by Thomas Dolby was one of them. It played a profound influence on us and our absurd sense of humor.
absurd is the best kind of humor.
Would love to see more videos like this. We definitely need to laugh more 😂 Good work keep them coming thanks.
COVID-19 will magically disappear Nov. 4th... Just like that.... Gone.
@@robbygee2539 so is it gone? I love seeing these two years later.
As a Cajun, I appreciate that Thomas Dolby made the only electronic Cajun album ever. Its really good, I used to play it while I drove to Lafayette to see my fathers Aunt and to eat at Prejean's restaurant which was right near her. Thanks Mr. Dolby.
I love that album so much!!
Wow this was pretty cool thank you so much for sharing...
Loved Thomas Dolby music way back when. Brings back fond memories. Great parody. ❤
Wow strong resemblance!
This is delightful thank you for posting it.
He nailed it with this video!
The apple really fell close to the tree here...loved it !
Thomas Dolby's Blinded Me With Science was my bff and mine favorite song from waaay back. It stood out from the regular poppy stuff on the radio.

One of our submarines and Flying north are such brilliant songs. Harper... excellent job on the video!
Europa and the Pirate Twins is one of my favorites, and hearing his son remake it is very delightful and funny, but also kinda nostalgic.
A serious level of Fun !! I enjoyed hearing the love from son to father. I'm dealing with the

Delightful!
Beautiful smile on that kid! Yep, just like dad's........................
Great video. Pure homage to his star dad.
