51. "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby
If you love the sweet, sweet sounds of early 80s synthesizers in stereo, this is your song. It's got it all. Bleeps and blorps and tonks and schonks and plinks and plonks and wavy-woozies and hiccups and grunty grindy English accents. And it's quite trippy to listen to it in stereo while laying in bed with the speakers positioned so that your head is right smack dab in the middle of it all. You feel completely engulfed in a sonic recreation of a mad scientist's laboratory, complete with a beautiful Japanese assistant.
Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You're beautiful!

This is, of course, one of the nerdiest songs ever written. How nerdy? It was the theme song for the original pilot for "The Big Bang Theory," but that episode was never shown, and they went with a theme song by the Bare Naked Ladies instead. (And only a nerd would know that.) There is only one thing that could make this song nerdier--being sung/talked by THE SHAT!
