The Angry Robot song began its life as the theme song to the Angry Robot Podcast (hosted by Mur Lafferty). Mur commissioned the jingle and I always had the intention of making it into a full length song. The problem was that I couldn't come up with any lyrics for the verses. Enter Science Fiction Novelist and RPG author Matt Forbeck.
Matt and I met at the World Fantasy Convention in Columbus Ohio last year. We've gotten to be pretty good virtual friends through Twitter and Facebook since then. I asked him if he'd like to take a shot at writing some lyrics for the tune (after all, he is published by Angry Robot Books). He did and we collaborated on the verse lyrics that you see below.
You can get this song for absolutely free. Just click the Download button on the player above or, if you are viewing this post in a feed reader, click here.

Angry Robot by John Anealio & Matt Forbeck
Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot
The Angry Robot wasn't always mad He started out so happy but things went bad Cause when he hooked up to the internet what he saw there filled him with pained regret
He wanted to go on a killing spree to rip the souls from meatbags and set them free His Asimovian circuit wouldn't let him kill just anyone he met.
Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot
But angry as he was the robot knew there was no violent thing that he could do He learned about the Singularity when chips & blood become one entity
The human system software is a mess but the robot knew that with success a robot/human hybrid he would be and he could kill with equanimity
Angry Robot; plotting the overthrow of all mankind Angry Robot; thoughts of Armageddon on his mind Don't look him in the eye, he's an Angry Robot
The lyrics to the Angry Robot song were co-written by acclaimed Sci-Fi Novelist/Role Playing & Video Game Author/Comics Writer Matt Forbeck!

With little more than an alternate-tuned acoustic guitar and a dog-eared
copy of The Hobbit, Sci-Fi Songwriter John Anealio composes and
performs geeky anthems for writers, librarians, lovers of Science
Fiction, Best Buy customers, and robots. His music sounds like John
Mayer, Weezer, and James Taylor playing Dungeons and Dragons together on
their iPhones.
