Hi Josh
your theme work is exceptional. As well as songs about robots, I would like to hear more songs about batteries on your show. I went for a free tour of "Battery World" in Collingwood recently and was very impressed and inspired by the professional, knowledgeable and courteous shop crew. Some of the racy battery stories i was told by our host Gary during the tour were absolutely side-splitting - but a little bit too hot and catsaucy to repeat here. I think i might buy into the "Battery World" franchise and start up my own battery shop. Hence, i would appreciate some songs about batteries which i could play on cconstant rotation in my shop (during business hours only of course).

Thanks for your support, and advice about batteries. I think - and Len and Gary - would agree with me that batteries are an underappreciated element in our lives. Few songs have been written about them, despite the debt all msuic listeners owe to the humble battery, now in this iPod obsessed world more than ever. Here's what I could find:
Jaga Jazzist - Low Battery
METALLICA - BATTERY(STUDIO VERSION)
SnappleMan - Dead Batteries
Jethro Tull - Batteries Not Included
Gary Brolsma(?) also wrote a song called "AA Battery" - that lil' guy's surely the most widely used commercial battery on the market.
I'll keep my eyes and easr open for news of songs about batteries, in the meantime perhaps we might expect a poem / song from Mr mcGee about batteries, or better still Battery World?
