Do It Like A Robot: Old Skool Intergalactic EuroFunk & Disco I've been coming across a goldmine on YouTube lately....i'm learning that back in the day, crazy interstellar dance music wasn't limited to just kraftwerk, meco and klaus nomi...who knew?!
"The Force" - The Droids (1976) "Space Rock" - Rockets (1978) "Idiomatic" - Rockets (1981) "Automatic Lover" - Dee D. Jackson (1978) I'm not sure what this is but the band looks like bootleg ABBA and they've got a robot. 
"Senegal" - Martin Circus (197?) (okay, this one might be better categorized as "Mime Rock"  ) | |

it's all about the dance she does at the beginning (and she traded in her robot dance partner for a...what IS that? a gay bounty hunter or something?):
i need to STEP AWAY FROM THE YOUTUBE  | |

I don't know who wins for looking the weirdest. Jay-Jay has this cyber-mullet, androgynous alien drag going on. And it was the jingle for the 2(X)ist gay underwear commercials in Europe. lol Still love it nonetheless. Thanks for posting that Dee vid. | |

i wish mariah would come out with a robot album so i could make this thread a sticky. but since she hasn't, i'll just post this instead: "Robot Man" - Dee Anne (sorry to say, no actual robots are featured in this clip  ) | |
