She Blinded Me with Science was ranked number 20 on VH1’s 2002 “100 Greatest One-hit Wonders”. To Dolby, music videos were “short silent films with a soundtrack.” According to Wikipedia, the video for She Blinded Me with Science was conceived and storyboarded before the song was written. Dolby added the song title, wrote the song to fit the planned video, and then directed the music video.
