Trivia/Info

  • This song is actually the first song written for The Chopping Block for an as of yet unreleased version of their website with a robot theme. The version to appear on the future www.choppingblock.com site is titled "Robot Design". It was then adapted for "No!" as "Robot Parade". The CB version goes, "Robot design, robot design - rest your head on the Chopping Block".
  • An early mix of this song appeared in 2000 as one of several free MP3s offered through eMusic that predated TMBG Unlimited.
  • At some shows, including in the video below, Flansburgh sings: "Children obey what the robots say!"
  • Sometimes Flans gets the crowd to give him an R: "Give me an R! Give me another R! Give me another R! What does that spell? RRR!"
  • Performed live on Late Night With Conan O'Brien some time in 2002.
