Erm, Scraig?  Not a robot. An inflatable doll with kinda-realistic parts.  Biiiiiig difference. If you don't believe me, just try getting that buxom plastic girl to bring you a glass of water (or anything else.)

Sorry - this just tweaked the one over-the-top-twisted synapsis in my brain. {#Lol}

Howdy folks. ListenerMan here with a tip: Set up Radio Paradise and an alternate station as a playlist in iTunes. When this song comes on, toggle the alternate station.

As an alternate to this, I can suggest "concrete mixer losing its brakes on a downhill and running into a nursery" or "8-ton semi filled with live hogs overturning on the freeway," both of which would be more pleasant than this dreck. 
 
I've actually witnessed an 8-ton semi filled with live hogs overturn on I-95 just north of the Baltimore beltway.  This happened many years ago, but the thought of those hogs running amok is still better than this song.  Down another notch to a 4.

This sounds like it might work better in a musical. You know, a musical about robots. But just for straight up listening, no.

This song is dedicated to the hardworking robot mini-subs trying to plug the Gulf Gusher.

This must be one of the most overplayed songs on RP at this time. Wouldn't be so bad if it was a decent song....

Overplaying does nothing for this song. Down to a 5 and dropping every time I hear it. Please Bill, no more than once a week.

Can't like them all - but at least RP is not afraid to play new artists - and songs that are different.

Lighten up some of you RP listeners!

Love the clapping at the end of the song.  Sounds like most have bugged out before the end, only 4 or 5 gamers stuck around.  Probably most are family.   'come on kids...clap for daddy!...I SAID CLAP FOR DADDY!...I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK THE SONG IS STUPID!  DADDY MAKES STUPID SONGS, THAT WHAT HE DOES!  NOW DON'T MAKE ME COME ACROSS THAT TABLE!'
