"She Blinded me with Science"...Monday Music

I am back, I finished Airbus  school, immedialtly went into cub scout mode for the weekend, had no time to blog, than had to work sunday night back to my 3rd shift.  Now I have a breather so I am going to post my Monday Music.

"She Blinded Me With Science"
Single by Thomas Dolby
from the album Blinded by Science and The Golden Age of Wireless

"She Blinded Me With Science" is a New Wave song by British musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1982. 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. It is a quirky, playful synthpop song featuring synthesizer sounds, plus a guitar track by XTC's Andy Partridge. The song was also sampled for "Got It Twisted" by Mobb Deep.
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, U.S. cable television network VH1 named "She Blinded Me with Science" No. 20 on its list of the "100 Greatest One-hit Wonders."^[1] While the song is Dolby's only Top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100, he has had other songs which scored on the music charts. In 2006, VH1 placed it at No. 76 on their list of "Greatest Songs of the '80s."^[2] Then, in 2009, it ranked No. 13 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

The song's chorus, "She blinded me with science", plays upon the colloquial British expression "to blind [someone] with science", meaning to deliberately confuse someone by giving the impression of highly complex knowledge. In the song, however, the phrase is interpreted as a straightforward reference to the natural sciences^{[citation needed]}.
The song features interjections from the British scientist and TV presenter Magnus Pyke,^[1] who repeatedly shouts "Science!" and delivers other lines in a deliberately over-the-top "mad scientist" voice, the most famous^{[citation needed]} line of which was, "Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! You're beautiful!" Producer "Mutt" Lange sings the high octave doubling Dolby's chorus vocals.
The song was showcased as part of Dolby's appearance at the South by Southwest 2007 music festival.^[3]

Music video

In the music video, Dolby commits himself to a Home for Deranged Scientists. 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. Interspersed into the video, various "deranged scientists" operate fanciful inventions on the grounds of the Home and act deranged with normal scientific items. Dolby co-directed the music video with Steve Barron.^[4]

The Best Airbus commercial...Ever

We studied Aircraft surfaces today and how Hydraulics and the fly by wire interacts with with the control surfaces like Rudder, flaps, spoilers and slats interact and what hydraulic systems control what surface.   And Doors, how the emergency slides work, how the regular doors and cargo doors operate.  Pretty good stuff, but I am glad that tomorrow is my last day.  The fire hydrant approach is tiring.

   Now the best Airbus commercial ever made.

         
I normally don"t post babe pics on my blog(I might start though) but this commercial from Russia is very good:)

School stuff...and commercials.

Well I had another test..Instead of just Pneumatic and the Air Conditioning Pacs, they added Hydraulics and Landing Gears...I passed the Test...Hooray!!!! I can sleep well tonight!  One more test on Friday on everything else that we haven't tested on.  I think Lights are next...Next week I go back to my regular job on 3rd shift.  We watched some funny stuff again on break.   here is one of the video's that we watched:

      Here was another, it was a condom commercial..

     

"Don't judge too quickly...We won't"

I am studying for the Pneumatic Air System and PAC air conditioning test and I have come to a conclusion...Airbus loves their acronyms.  And they choose the most off the wall ones because Boeing used the logical ones first and by God Airbus ain't going to use the same terminology that Boeing uses....Here is an example..."Name a computer that controls Avionic cooling?"  Well the answer is "Avionics Equipment Ventilation Computer or the AEVC."  I think Boeing used the "Avionic cooling system"  if memory serves...It has been a while since I worked on Boeing since I have been working the Airbus for a year.

   Here is a video that we watched during break....If I recall, the commercial was out a few years ago and I though it was very neat and imaginative...if a bit risque.

Light Posting...Again.

Posting will be light...I am in aircraft specific training for the next 2 weeks *cough Airbus*hack*.  I am again on day shift for the 2 weeks so my sleep pattern got jacked up...again.  Once stuff slows down and I can catch a breath, I will post more.
