Thomas Dolby (born Thomas Morgan Robertson; 14 October 1958) is an English musician and producer. Best known for his 1982 hit "She Blinded Me with Science", and 1984 single "Hyperactive!", he has also worked extensively in production and as a session musician.
Robertson was born in London, England, contrary to information in early 1980s press releases that reported his birthplace as Cairo, Egypt. His father, Martin Robertson, was an internationally distinguished professor of classical Greek art and archeology at the University of London and Oxford University, and in his youth Thomas lived or worked in France, Italy and Greece. He attended Abingdon School in 1975-76, completing his A Levels whilst there. Thomas Dolby spoke of his early musical experiences in a 2012 interview:
He later married actress Kathleen Beller in 1988; the couple have three children together.
Dolby is member #00001 of the current incarnation of the Flat Earth Society, a pseudoscientific group.
The Thomas Dolby stage name originated from a nickname that Thomas picked up around the age of 13. Thomas was always messing around with keyboards and tapes and the like, so his friends nicknamed him Dolby, which came from the name Dolby Laboratories. Later, when Thomas was 18 or 19 years old, British singer Tom Robinson was popular, so the then-Thomas Robertson chose to adopt the stage name "Thomas Dolby" when he began working professionally. Early publicity implied that "Dolby" was a middle name, and that the artist's full name was Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson; this is not true, but he does sometimes informally go by the initials TMDR.

Ooh yeah, they call her hot sauce
She's hot and spicy
But twice as nicey
Although she burn me up
They call her hot sauce
She's hotter than pepper
I would have kept her
Although she burn me up
Oh, what if fire didn't burn?
(Burn)
How would the lesson get learned?
(Learned)
You sit there like a dope until you choke on all the smoke
(Smoke gets in your eyes)
Cover me in your sauce baby
Bury me in your sauce
Smother me in all your hot sauce, woman
Till smoke come from your thighs
They call her hot sauce
She's hot and spicy
But twice as nicey
Although she burn me up
They call her hot sauce
She's hotter than pepper
I would have kept her
Although she burn me up
The brother in the codpiece
I seen him on the TV
I think he likes his ladies
All sweet and sugary
I'm partial to a pudding
But that's for second course
The main meal and the hors d'oeuvres
Must be smothered in hot sauce
They call her hot sauce
She's hot and spicy
But twice as nicey
Although she burn me up
They call her hot sauce
She's hotter than pepper
I would have kept her
Although she burn me up
They call her hot sauce
She's hot and spicy
But twice as nicey
Although she burn me up
They call her hot sauce
She's hotter than pepper
I would have kept her
Although she burn me up
What if steam didn't scald?
(Scald)
How would the story be told?
(Told)
She sat and smoked a fag
While I was gagging on the shag
(Shag gets in your eyes)
Yes, lemme get lost in your sauce baby
Cover me in your sauce
Lemme get lost in your hot sauce woman
There was a fire truck attending
The smoke pouring from her nose
Her state of mind depending
On which way the wind blowed
Chili and tabasco
Dripping on my shirt
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see
I had to call a smog alert
Smog alert, yo
