The Wapisi Square strip Thomas Dolby nitpicks at features a character dancing in the first panel and in the second panel yelling out only the word "science." An unscientific selection of songs other than "She Blinded Me with Science" that have the word in their lyrics, courtesy of a search on azlyrics.com:

Everclear, "Science Fiction"
Rush, "Natural Science"
Foreigner, "Blinded by Science"
Duran Duran, "American Science"
Beastie Boys, "Sounds of Science"
Less Than Jake, "Showbiz? Science? Who cares?"
Tears for Fears, "Deja Vu and the Sins of Science" and "Killing with Kindness"
Jimmy Eat World, "Scientific"
D12, "American Psycho
Outkast, "Mainstream" and "Flip Flop Rock"
Eminem, "313"
Busta Rhymes, "Against All Odds" and "What Do You Do When You're Branded?" and "Goldmine"
Methodman, "Mr. Sandman" and "Gunz 'N Onez (Iz U Wit Me)" and "Milk the Cow" and "One More to Go"
DMX, "D-X-L"
Jethro Tull, "Automotive Engineering"
Elton John, "Rocket Man"
10000 Maniacs, "Rainy Day" and "Green Children"
Talib Kweli, "Broken Glass"
The Dandy Warhols, "Scientist"
Interpol, "Not Even Jail"
Xzibit, "Back 2 the Way it Was"
Nada Surf, "Do it Again"

There were more, but then I realized retyping these titles was even more retarded than Dolby's blog post.
