  • Official HD Video for "I Wouldn't Want to be Like You" by The Alan Parsons Project
    `I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You' was the first single from `I Robot' - a 1977 studio album by The Alan Parsons Project. The video depicts Alan uncovering an ancient mask to reveal a robot figure (played by Eric Woolfson) that comes alive. It is then involved in a game of cat and mouse with Alan until...well you need to watch the video to see what finally happens. The uptempo song features Lenny Zakatek on vocals, Eric Woolfson on Rhodes and Wurlitzer and the regular trio of Ian Bairnson, David Paton and Stuart Tosh on guitars, bass and drums.

      I picked up "I Robot" in a record store just because the cover was striking to me (and I have a sort of sympathetic thing for robots). Some of us would have. :)
      Very rare that I pick up a record out of the blue like that, but it was compelling. And I was not disappointed.

      @@supercrazy03 - Yes, the solo on Games People Play is definitely a good one. The last half is a pretty good walk around the fretboard. The first half definitely seems to have some influence from the boys in (the band) Boston. Definitely a very Tom Scholz double harmony lead vibe.

      The Alan Parsons Project got plenty of credit and accolades. They were a studio group only and were considered a little avantgarde at the time (mid 70s to mid 80s) thus never really broke seriously into Top 40 radio....why much of "the masses" haven't heard much of them. However their musical impact was profound. Alan Parsons himself was producer/engineer on Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". That right there is all the credibility you need in the big scheme of things.

    That Ian Bairnson solo and the way it sets up the final verse is brilliant. It has always been one of my favorites. And I always felt that Bairnson is one of most underrated rock guitarist of that era.

    Man music before the turn of the decade was so unique sounding, it's like a mix of '70s disco and funk with what would become 80s pop and new wave

    The fact that this song came out in 1977 at the height of Punk, I always wondered if this was an anti-Punk statement--defiantly Prog in the year of Punk--they were saying, "I don't care what you do, I wouldn't want to be like you--PUNKS!"

      I like that theory. Punks could even be the "robots"...the "nonconformists". What a laugh. In 1977 the nonconformists were listening to this. So who were the punks then, eh?

      Nah, It's a Robot Pride anthem. It's about a robot ceasing to care about emulating humans because humans suck. Robots should give up all that Pinocchio Syndrome BS.
