We’re enjoying our gig as musical correspondents for Brink. The show’s producers tell us about an upcoming show topic, then we pen a little ditty that offers a humorous insight into the matter. This week’s show was about robots and artificial intelligence. The recent advancements in robot technology, including robots that can learn and interact, leads to the question: will lonely people replace human contact with robot relationships? We think so, and maybe it’ll look a little like our new song. For those of you who missed the TV debut of My Robot Girlfriend, we present it to you as good, old-fashioned web video:
If you’re wondering what the Badgers Hate Mongeese T-shirt is all about, let me direct your attention to our Wales Song from two years ago. We’re selling a limited edition “Badgers hate Mongeese” T-shirt, just like the one in this video, at our District Lines T-shirt store. Go pick one up for the support of Internetainment here!
Thanks again to Billy Reid for the awesome visual he created for this song. Head over to his blog and let him know how much you like his work!
Also, we’re excited to announce that our first Brink contribution, the Space Junk Song, was selected by Wired Magazine as one of the Top 10 Science Music Videos (we got number 6).

Woah!!! I never noticed you were wearing the Mongoose shirt until today! I need to get myself one of those! ^.^
If you pause it where it says the price, there is a website in the top left corner-myrobotgirlfriend.com, it leads to this page!
The robot girlfriend tune is so catchy and your voice awesome – there is a commercial song there somewhere., very impressive. Even bought it on itunes but wanted an mp3 of it as a ringtone, know where i can get it?
Hey Guys,
Fine job on the “Robot Girlfriend” video. I think both the song and video are awesome…
Rhett, I was wondering, what kind of glasses you are wearing in the video? I have searched for an answer everywhere to no avail, no one seems to know…
It’s catchy, and kinda funny, but I liked Space Junk much more. Anyway, I GOTTA get me one o’ them “Badgers Hate Mongeese” shirts. Hilarious.
Oh yeah, and in the midst of all this Brink stuff, we’ve forgotten one large thing…
WHAT ABOUT THE 80′S VIDEO?!?!?!?!?!
Can’t wait for the next (and last, did I hear?) one!
SMALL WONDER. That is an amazing reference. I’m not sure how many people actually remember the show. But who could ever forget that young girl lifting a couch to vacuum under it?
Also I finally made it to the Post Office to get my racetrack, I hope it helped! and thanks for the autographed picture!
Good job again guys.
-Fig.
Natalie, the shirt is called “Standard American”….at least that’s what it says on the tag…hope that helps, and hope you buy one!
“I’m not confident, unless I’m writing an email” Awesome…
I like all the newspapers/magazines you made too. Actually the whole thing made me laugh (as it should!). 
Good job!
BTW, which AA shirt is the badgers shirt printed on? I was looking at the size chart, but it lists several different options, so I didn’t know what size I’d actually need.
Nice Video, i didnt know you guys had a site, i thought u just posted/sent vid’s to brink
lol.. im check back here more frequently then… keep up the awesome lol’s
I am so getting that shirt!
I liked the in studio bit about “hot” robots, too funny! Any idea when the 3rd one will be?
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this ever since you first mentioned it here. Totally worth the wait.
I’ve already listened to it several times just because I just love the tune! The video was really adorable too I love all the animations. I’m so glad you are posting them up here for the people that do not have cable
Awe….so cute guys! Love the instrumental…very romantic!
I really enjoyed the live in-studio bit with Josh before the video ran on that Brink episode. Will that be available online anywhere?
If you go to http://science.discovery.com/videos/brink-videos/ , you might find it. I was gonna go there to see if it was there, so I will.
Nice shirt! I was just about to look for the video on the Brink site, but when I went back to the main page of the site, this was there! Great timing, huh? I noticed the Looking for Ms. Locklear article, and all the pictures and such. When does that come out, anyway?
