Robot Songs About Robots Being Robotic

Petulant humans and your need to index things better than robots! It would make me laugh if I had that kind of programming!

I Robot Album CoverOver on the UnderGroundOnline they've posted the top 11 songs about robots. They had me at #8, the theme from Robot Chicken. The article has audio clips but I'm unsure if it will play on a Mac - what's a ".wax" extension?

The list does have it's flaws. Mysteriously they mention a Bee Gees disco song but leave out any and all songs from I, Robot, that groovy concept album from the great prog-rock group Alan Parsons Project. Also not listed is anything from Kraftwerk. Or the Kraftwerk latin remixes from Uwe Schitd: Senior Coconut El Baile Aleman: A Tribute to Kraftwerk (yes I have this CD, thanks to andrew). I suspect the list was written by someone under 25.
