ROBOTS by Dan Mangan official music video directed by Mike Lewis
Description
Inspired by early 80s gang movies, Robots tells the story of two rival gangs who engage in their own back-alley version of robot wars, pitting one robot against the other in a battle to the finish. But when one robot chooses compassion over malice, the gang members are forced to question their own hatred and animosity towards each other.

what I wouldn’t do to have an afro like that
Dan, saw at the east brunswick club in Melbourne .. Now I can’t stop listening to this song on repeat!!!!
This music makes me want to hug a baby penguin… I think.
started off cheesy, ended beautiful and brilliant.
Quite possible the greatest video I’ve ever seen in my life
….amazing
Awesome video Dan. You guys were AMAZING at The Basement in Sydney.
Can’t stop listening to your CD.
love it all espescially the horn feature at the end. . . i would LOVE to hear it live
Great great video. Amusing as hell and heartwarming too! But in my opinion, just MY opinion. The celebration in the ending was kind of overdone.
Cheers!

Thank you!
Do you get what they’re doing with the video? The homage?
I think they were just having fun with it.
Really lame video for one of the best songs of 2009. Don’t let the lameness keep you from getting the album though.
I am 12 and what is this?

My day is 8 million times better after watching this video. I love Dangan soooo much.
