    Lyrics:
    Ha! It's poetry in motion
    She turned her tender eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    Mm, but she blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    And failed me in biology, yeah
    Huh-huh
    When I'm dancing close to her
    (Blinding me with science, science)
    (Science!)
    I can smell the chemicals
    (Blinding me with science, science)
    (Science!)
    Mm, now but it's poetry in motion
    And when she turned her eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    She blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    And failed me in geometry
    When she's dancing next to me
    (Blinding me with science, science)
    (Science!)
    I can hear machinery
    (Blinding me with science, science)
    (Science!)
    Hah! It's poetry in motion
    And now she's making love to me
    The spheres are in commotion
    The elements in harmony
    She blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    And hit me with technology
    (Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You're beautiful!)
    I don't believe it, there she goes again
    She's tidied up and I can't find anything
    All my tubes and wires and careful notes
    And antiquated notions
    But, it's poetry in motion
    And when she turned her eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    Uh, she blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    She blinded me with

    It's poetry in motion
    She turned her tender eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    Mmm - but she blinded me with science
    "She blinded me with science!"
    And failed me in biology
    When I'm dancing close to her
    (Blinding me with science) - science!
    I can smell the chemicals
    (Blinding me with science) - science!)
    "Ssss-science!"
    Mmm - but it's poetry in motion
    And when she turned her eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    She blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science)
    And failed me in geometry
    When she's dancing next to me
    (Blinding me with science) - science!
    I can hear machinery
    (Blinding me with science) - science!
    It's poetry in motion
    And now she's making love to me
    The spheres're in commotion
    The elements in harmony
    She blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    And hit me with technology
    (Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!)
    I don't believe it!
    There she goes again!
    She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
    All my tubes and wires
    And careful notes
    And antiquated notions
    But! - it's poetry in motion
    And when she turned her eyes to me
    As deep as any ocean
    As sweet as any harmony
    Mmm - she blinded me with science
    (She blinded me with science!)
    She blinded me with

    This really is brilliant stuff.
    People are commenting about the 80's style - agreed, but this is one of the most creative pop songs ever.
    Hadn't heard this probably since when it was a hit - I was about 10 or 11 years old at the time. Liked it then. Now listening to it, I realize what a stroke of genius it was.
    Do you know any song quite like this? It 's basically unique. Odd compositional elements, pieced together in an unconventional way, yet very catchy.
    Great stuff.

      @cricjohnsn,
      I heard this when I was about 8 and loved the video on MTV back then. I haven't heard this in years. Another song that comes close to being really good like this one would be Murry Head "One night in Bangkok" and was popular around the same time (if not, then give or take a year). I believe She Blinded Me with Science was used in the movie, Weird Science that debuted in the 80's as well. The 80's were a totally awesome time to live in. 😎

    I was delighted when I found out the old man shouting “Science!” and “She blinded me with science!” is Professor Pyke, the British counterpart of Mister Wizard.
    Which is why it kinda it sounds like he’s saying, “Hey, wait a minute - she blinded ME with science? But I’m Professor Pyke!”
