It was first released as a single in the UK in October 1982 and was subsequently included on the EP Blinded by Science and the second edition of Dolby 's debut album The Golden Age of Wireless. Although a success in the United States, peaking at No. 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 and 2 weeks at No. 1 in Canada 's RPM Magazine, the song barely managed to score among the Top 50 in Dolby 's native United Kingdom, peaking at No. 49 in the UK Singles Chart. Dolby is often considered a one - hit wonder in the United States on the basis of the song 's chart success there. In 2002, US cable television network VH1 named `` She Blinded Me with Science '' No. 20 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest One - hit Wonders ''. While the song is Dolby 's only Top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100, he has had other songs that scored on the music charts. In 2006, VH1 placed it at No. 76 on their list of `` Greatest Songs of the ' 80s ''. Then, in 2009, it ranked No. 13 on VH1 's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

'' and delivers other lines in a deliberately over-the - top mad scientist voice, such as, `` Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto, you 're beautiful ! '' The song was showcased as part of Dolby 's appearance at the South by Southwest 2007 music festival. Music video In the music video, Dolby commits himself to a Home for Deranged Scientists. Various mad scientist types operate fanciful inventions on the grounds of the home and act insane with normal scientific items. Throughout the course of the video, Magnus Pyke ( as the Home Doctor ) tries to diagnose what he is suffering from, all the while being seduced by Miss Sakamoto, a secretary in the home. Dolby saw music videos with story lines as `` short silent films with a soundtrack ''. The video for `` She Blinded Me with Science '' was conceived and storyboarded before the song was written. Dolby added the song title and then wrote the song to fit the planned video. He then directed the music video himself.
