Continuing the Thomas Dolby train (Why? Because we like you!), here’s My Brain Is Like a Sieve, off 1988’s Aliens Ate My Buick.

Europa & the Pirate Twins

Posted by shanoah on July 12, 2009

Well, Hyperactive isn’t a bad choice, either. I’m just not sure that Tesla himself was hyperactive. Though I agree on the lyric choice.

So today, thought I’d continue with Dolby, with Europa and the Pirate Twins. Seemed like a fun piece of syth-pop. Though I swear something similar to this has been played on the blog before…

7-11-09 Thomas Dolby – Hyperactive!

Posted by gavortnik on July 12, 2009

Well, you know Shanoah, if you’re going to use Thomas Dolby to celebrate Nikolai Tesla’s birthday, there’s one song that you absolutely must play.

Hyperactive!

If only for the first six lines, courtesy of LyricWiki:

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
When they chucked me out of school
‘Cause the teacher knew I had the funk
