Coming to Broadway-script by Aaron Sorkin (seriously)

Wait - about robots or for robots?

Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"

Mr. Robot's Holy Order

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just can't believe
I sent a note across another plane
Maybe it's all a game, but this I just can't conceive.

Can you hear me?

I drive the very latest hovercar
I don't know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

She's only programmed to be very nice
But she's as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear.

She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart stone
She has an I.Q. of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And she's also a telephone.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly

refrain:
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?

I realize that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know
For all she says: "Is that what you want?"
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
'Til then, I'll leave her alone.

I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

refrain

"Is that what you want?"

and Digital Man, too

The funny thing is, the related article refers to them as a "crime gang".

Yikes. That takes me back.

"I program robots to make them lie"

In a future time
Children will work together
To build a giant cyborg

Robot Parade
Robot Parade
Wave the flags that the robots made
Robot Parade
Robot Parade
Robots obey what the children say

There's electric cars
There's electric trains
Here comes a robot with electric brains

Robot Parade
Robot Parade
Wave the flags that the robots made
Robot Parade
Robot Parade
Robots obey what the children say

It's really about a sort of modern Frankenstein monster, but it could be a robot, too.

"He's got pistols on his fingers
He's got love on the brain
He's got a tongue good for lying
And the legs to run away
He will fool all the people
All the time, someday..."

Eight foot two, solid blue,
Five transistors in each shoe,
Has anybody seen my gal?
Lucite nose, rust-proof toes,
And when her antenna glows,
She's the cutest Martian gal.

You know she promised me, recently,
She wouldn't stray,
But came the dawn, she was gone
Eighteen billion miles away.

Her steering wheel has sex appeal,
Her evening gown is stainless steel,
Has anybody seen my gal?

Songs About Robots
http://www.rhapsody.com/playlistcentral/playlistdetail?playlistId=8596768

...sort of...

Sample lyrics: "The song involves the depressed robot Marvin describing his views on life ("I'd feel a little better if they broke me up for spares", "If I had my time again, I'd rather be a lemming"), to a synthesizer backing." "The song involves the depressed robot Marvin describing his woes ("My moving parts are in a solid state") and frustrations ("You know what really makes me mad? They clean me with a Brillo Pad"), to a synthesizer backing."

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_%28song%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasons_To_Be_Miserable



And there's "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead - but the song isn't really about an android.

It was partially written a member's young son. :)

Ground-breaking synth music, in fact. Tubeway Army was more or less Gary Numan - Americans might know his single 'Cars'.

I'm a dirty robot
You're a dirty robot

Heck no, I'll never listen to techno (well, it mentions robots and the animation is cute)
