Robot Week!



The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day!
The Aquabats!, "Mechanical Ape!" from Charge!! (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Commentary: As an internet search engine query, "robot gorilla" is much more fruitful than "mechanical ape," both qualitatively & quantitatively.

"Well, here I am underground,
Waiting in my metal fortress of sound,
Let's get it on!
And it's all ready now,
Robot gorilla's how,
A million pounds of steel,
Fuzzy dice, and steering wheel…

"One man stands as the lone magician,
Sending in plays through the ape transmission!

"Now, who can face, who can face,
Who can face the unbelievable Mechanical Ape?
Who can face, who can face,
Who can face the unbelievable Mechanical Ape?
Well, I said, whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mechanical Ape!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mechanical Ape!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mechanical Ape!)
You cannot deface the Mechanical Ape!…"
