Robot Girlfriend
Rhett And Link Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not confident unless I'm writing an e-mail
But my life would be so sublime
If I bought a robot girl online
I'd never hear her silicone mouth complaining
About my dry scalp or my excessive gaming
She's my Small Wonder, I'm her Voltron
My robot girlfriend
The best relationship I'd ever be in
She's got a grip stronger than an ape
And she can calculate a tip to the 25th decimal place
Though we can't go out in rainy weather
We can still play Solitaire together ("Nicely done, boyfriend.")
Meeting her folks is no real cause for fear
They're just a team of friendly Japanese engineers
If I ever start to think that she might leave me
I'll defrag her harddrive and wipe her memory
My robot girlfriend
The best relationship I'll never be in
In Rhett and Link's song "Robot Girlfriend," the lyrics discuss the singer's struggles with human relationships and his desire for a robotic girlfriend. The song highlights the perceived ease of a relationship with a robot, as it eliminates the typical complaints and issues that arise in a human relationship. The lyrics also emphasize the robotic girlfriend's abilities, including her strength and intelligence. The singer jokes about her not being able to go out in the rain, but that they can still spend time together playing Solitaire.
The lyrics also reference the idea of meeting her "folks," which turns out to be a team of friendly Japanese engineers. This line plays into the stereotype of Japan being at the forefront of technology and robotics. In the final verse, the singer's fear of his girlfriend leaving him is addressed, with the solution being to defrag her hard drive and wipe her memory.
Overall, the song satirizes the idea that a robotic girlfriend would be an easy and ideal relationship, while also poking fun at societal ideas of masculinity and relationships.
