Finish The Lyric: "She blinded me with"?

The story behind the answer

The lyric “She blinded me with” is completed by “science” in Thomas Dolby’s 1982 song “She Blinded Me with Science.” The phrase is the song’s instantly recognizable hook and title.

The track blends synth-pop, new wave, spoken-word interjections, and deliberately comic laboratory imagery. British scientist and television presenter Magnus Pyke supplies the eccentric spoken voice, including the emphatic delivery of “Science!” that helped make the recording memorable.

Dolby originally created the music-video concept before finishing the song, then wrote the track around that visual world. The video places him among exaggerated “mad scientist” characters at a fictional home for deranged scientists, giving the song a playful, theatrical identity rather than presenting science as a serious subject.

Released in 1982 and later included on the Blinded by Science EP, the song became Dolby’s biggest American hit, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is often remembered as a one-hit wonder, although Dolby continued working as a musician, producer, composer, and technology entrepreneur.
