Les Lutins hail from Canada, so why they feel the need to sing in foreign I've no idea... what's wrong with the Queen's English eh?! Canada is part of the Commonwealth after all. I can only assume that the swinging sixties swung so much in Canada that Les Lutins forgot which language they spoke and just made up a new one on the fly. I'm joking of course, but I know so little about this band I don't know what else to say. From Quebec, Canada, singing in foreign on their 1968 single, it's Les Lutins with Monsieur le Robot.

School for Robots : Bruce Haack
Quite possibly my favourite robot song so far is School for Robots by one of the unsung pioneers of electronic music; Bruce Haack. Taken from his 1968 LP, The Way Out Record for Children, this is a dance along song, so listen carefully and move to the music.
This is only one of a number of songs about robots by Bruce Haack that I'll be posting. I could waffle on at length about the man himself and his pioneering work with electronic music, but for those who are interested, here's a wiki link. There's also a DVD documentary called HAACK: The King of Techno, which is well worth a look if you're interested in early electronic music.
