    You know how sometimes people say "how can anyone dislike this song/video" and you watch it, and you don't like it, and you feel sad and alone. This is not one of those times. No one...NO ONE...can dislike this.

    My opinion is that Dan Mangan and company are a National Treasure. Great Song.

    I saw them live a few years back, at a bar/club. When they played this song, Dan got the whole place singing along and clapping by hopping on the bar encouraging ever body to join in singing "Robots need love too, they want to be loved by you!"

      that accurately describes when I saw him live -great times

    Oh man his Osheaga performance was amazing- the way he engages the crowd in such a chill way yet still energizes everyone- especially the guy with the robot hat- that must have made one hell of a FB status

    This is such a beautiful song, I'd be surprised if someone didn't feel something. 10/5

    Saw Dan in Glasgow last night, best gig I've been to. Sang along to every song in the front row, and in the middle of Robots he brought me, my girlfriend and our friend up on stage to sing Robots need love too! Thankyou Dan for one of the best moments of my life!

    I think the video speaks to the idea that the world needs more compassion and less competition, especially harmful (i.e. fighting) competition.

    he had us singing this in holland park, surrey and i don't think anyone could get those lines out of their head for the rest of the night
    ROBOTS NEED LOVE TOO! THEY WANT TO BE LOVED BY YOU!

    I have loved this song for ages now and only just found this video. Words cannot express how much I love it. It is incredible and beautifully filmed and hilarious and wonderful and it is one of my favourite things this year so far.

  • @PandemoniousPanda
    @PandemoniousPanda 13 років тому +1

    Summer Live was amazing. Singing along to Robots with thousands of other people, Aidan Knight singing Jasper, and that guy with the robot mask being pulled up onto the stage.. This is why I love Vancouver.

    I first heard this at camp years ago. Still makes me think of it, both in subject matter and because of when I heard it.

  • @jaclyn.walker
    @jaclyn.walker 13 років тому +1

    A part of me doesn't want him to be famous, because I want to keep him in a little pocket for myself.
    But then, seeing him on television performing for Canada day makes me feel so proud for him, like I'm sending my child off to college. I feel like I've been watching him grow as an artist.
    Can't wait to see him perform again, tomorrow. FOR FREE! :)

    pure unadulterated awesome. I wore out my voice singing this last night thinking I was over my cold. Now I am miserable and at home sick but still watching and humming along.

    "WHAT IS MY PURPOSE"
    "You pit-fight with other robots for the amusement of hipsters-playing-gangsters"
    "OH MY GOD..."
    "Yeah, welcome to the club pal"

  • @johnnyk.2911

    Can't help but think of the movie "The Iron Giant" when I hear this song.

  • @rococo7777
    @rococo7777 12 років тому

    This may be my favourite music video. Ever.
    Dan was at Osheaga yesterday, and this song was turned into a fantastic sing-along of "Robots need love too..." So great.

    His Osheaga performance was one of the best of the weekend! I had heard a few of his songs prior to his performance but fell completely in love with him by the end of the set. 'Robots' was perfect.

    @preyneke You've misunderstood the mesage in the video.
    The robots in the song symbolize gangs, and that even though they are there to be pitted against each other, they need love too, just like everyone else.
    Very powerful message and very excellent music.
