"Robot Music" for a five year-old
July 6, 2018 5:41 PM Subscribe
My 5 year old nephew has fallen in love with the Beasties’ “Intergalactic," which is great, but… he likes to loop it. Forever. I'd like to give him (and everyone around him) more options. Help me load-up a thumb-drive with an age-appropriate playlist of "robot music" to keep him grooving.
I infer that for him, "robot music” means the heavy use of talkbox/vocoder effects—it doesn't matter if the lyrics are about robotic things. By age-appropriate, I don't mean kiddie songs, just lyrics suitable for a five year old. Vague sexual innuendo that he won't get is probably fine, explicit lyrics that he’s likely to parrot, not so much. We're going to be singing along in the car and such. I think repetition, poppiness and an upbeat tempo are key.
I tried Arling & Cameron’s Dirty Robot and We Love to Rock, and they seemed to work for him. He was less enthusiastic about Kraftwerk—probably because it’s a bit of a slog for a Kindergartener. I predict that Console’s 14 Zero Zero will prove to be sonically appropriate, but that the lyrics won’t capture his fancy. I-F's Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass is probably too unintelligible and heavy. Devo is rich with arcade-like bloops and bleeps, but never (that I can think of) vocode their vocals. I have seen and investigated much of Complex’s 50 Greatest Vocoder Songs list, and will be hunting down a version of Stevie Wonder's Sesame Street Theme.
So, whatcha got?

But for straight vocoder robot fun, I turn to Black Moth Super Rainbow. e.g. I think it's beautiful that you are 256 colors too, One Day I Had an Extra Toe, or Dreamsicle Bomb. As a bonus many of their songs have fun videos.

Best answer: How about Royksopp's Happy Up Here? A bit of vocoder, and a similar bouncy feel to Intergalactic.
Cylob's Rewind is speech-synth-rap, but maybe that'll count as Robot Music too?

I may be way off base, but when I thought of Intergalactic + robot music what came to mind instantly was Frontier Psychiatrist by the Avalanches. And in the same vein but with talk box, there is of course Around the World by Daft Punk...

Try Europe Endless and Autobahn. If it's still no, then it's a pass on Kraftwerk for the kid probably.
He may also like Gary Numan. Cars, of course, but also M.E.
Lots and lots of Daft Punk, Teachers has fun voices and Technologic is actually sung by a (creepy af) robot in the video
I Monster Daydream in Blue

If he likes Intergalactic, and has a leaning towards robots, I implore you to check out the absolutely wonderful Beastie-Boys/Daft Punk mashup that is Daft Science by Coins. It is the bomb. I may be able to help you get it in MP3 format, too.

Seconding TMBG’s Robot Parade (and their kid albums in general are full of fun effects and good tunes that aren’t the usual kiddie music fare.)
Daft Punk is also just right.
Flight of the Conchords “The Humans Are Dead” contains the word “asses” but is otherwise a song that leans hard on robot silliness and delights our local small person.
Talking Heads Burning Down The House isn’t really vocoder, but it’s a weird singing voice and the feel might grab him in the same way; I thought they and Devo were all robots growing up. Ground Control To Major Tom, too, if you need a mellower tune to add to the mix.

You could use 31 Minutos . It technically has no English lyrics (this is an instrumental version), but if it were my child I'd tell him it's a duet sung in the true robot language and these robots don't speak English.

Best answer: You've got to get the two Moog Cookbook albums. While they're not all that heavy on the vocoder, they do feature it in a lot of places, and the mixture of classic analog synths with covers of 90s hits and classic rock tunes is great fun.

Response by poster: Thanks to everyone who pitched in—the final mix leaned heavily on your input! I've marked best-answers for suggestions that made the cut, but you're all best answerers in my heart. I did wind up adding some non-vocoder-but-robot-themed tracks, a few instrumentals, and one or two that just felt robot-adjacent, in the interest of variety. Hopefully this will expand the kid's musical horizons while affording his parents some drive-time sanity. Here are the 35 I ended up with:
