Very catchy groove and funny story. The chorus is simple and catchy for sing-along. Excellent mix.

Yeah, what a fun song! Great groove, good vocal, fun lyrics.
Nice production; love the fx on the vocal leading into that very fine solo.
Good one Peter!

Peter & Leon,
"A robot took my job but that’s alright
I don’t think that he did it out of spite
It’s just that he was smarter and damn, that thing is quick
Never takes a lunch break and he never calls in sick"
Now that is funny!
Love the title, write, and all the good production stuff...sweet solo to close out.
You guys have a great way of putting smiles into a song.
Robert

Well, I certainly was not disappointed!
This has been a common worry for a lot of laborers with everything becoming automated. Technology is advancing so fast these days. When I think about the technology from when I was a kid and compare it to now ... it blows away!
What a fun song. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Ember

Hello, Peter & Leon
Yes, fun and funny!
Guitar solo also has a comical mood.
You guys are a really good combination.
I felt more funny than satire first.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Nice work on this one - I got a good chuckle from this one  Sometimes a fun, light-hearted tune is just what you need. All else aside, the groove is awesome and your vocal performance is right on the money. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi Peter & Leon.
This is just SO much fun that it's easy to overlook exactly how well it's
put together. The overwhelming impression is one of humour and good-time
music, but delving deeper into it there's a lot going on.
So firstly, yes I really enjoyed this one. Secondly, I'm well impressed
by the sheer professionalism of the writing, performances, production and mix.
Excellent.
ROG.

"One door shuts, another one will open
I read that on my feed the other day
That algorithm reads me like a book
Shows me stuff that otherwise I might’ve overlooked"
hahahaha...yep, those algorithms are getting scary.
Whimsy done in style!
And, man, do we ever love a rockabilly band.
Great write and vocals and hey, Peter, are there any styles that you DON'T excel in on guitar?
And capping it all off is a fine production!
One to enjoy over and over....

Really creative idea, well executed. Fun and enjoyable...made me listen throughout to catch all the lyric “jokes”.
Noticed that you trimmed a few words out of the written lyric on the first verse...not sure if that represents an edit you made in the vocal recording, but the fewer words work better. Could do the same in a couple of other spot to make it flow a bit more smoothly in wordy passages.
What’s the reference to Vinnie’s..didn’t get that one.
I was waiting for some kind of robotic sound reference...got it just before the solo!!
Thanks for making me laugh!!
