Music
As with popping in general, the visual impact of the robot can be boosted by doing it in pace with music. The best effect is achieved with music that has very distinct beats such as electrofunk. It is nonetheless common to use music not particularly suited for the dance, but which has a "robot theme", such as The Jackson 5's "Dancing Machine" Robot done by Michael Jackson and Styx's "Mr. Roboto".
Unlike most other dances, the robot may also be accompanied a cappella by making vocal impressions of beeps and other electro-mechanical sounds.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“This music crept by me upon the waters,
Allaying both their fury and my passion
With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
Or it hath drawn me rather.”

Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.”
