    I think this strip is clearly calling for a filk of Madblood’s Battle Anthem.

      … or maybe just a funked-up cover.

    Tigerlily, seems it’ll take more than just a tractor-beam to get your mojo back from him…!

    I’d wonder if Tip still has *his* mojo, but from memory Dr Jones stole it when they first met. I guess his just grows back…

      Perhaps the Mojo Battle between Tip and Artie has improved Tip’s mojo so that he’s not as susceptible to Tigerlily’s funkalicious wiles.

    Lawrence Welk? Quick hit him again, Tigerlily!

    Perhaps they’ve swapped mojos!

    Sorry, John C., my brain went in a different direction …

    (TUNE: “The Pennsylvania Polka”, Lester Lee and Zeke Manners)

     [CHORUS:]
      Robots, uniting, and marching to war!
      The Tigerlily Polka!
      Join in the fighting, with musical score …
      The Tigerlily Polka!
      Telling my mistress the songs I adore …
      And now my head is broke, ah!
      Wilkin is concerned, but will he
      Teach us the Polka of Tigerlily?

    Give a big hand
    To our mistress, that we’re fighting for!
    Sound of big band
    Is the sound we want to hear some more!
    Tri-umph is ours,
    If we enter “Dancing With The Stars”!
    And if we “turkey trot”,
    Or (excuse the phrase) “gavotte”,
    Our mum
    Will come,
    And smash our cra-ni-um!
     [repeat CHORUS]

    She did say “death march.” Hot soul has too much spark of life to unleash an army with, robot or regular. Maybe if it was an undead army…

      She’s a mad scientist. Mass destruction _is_ her sort of funk. And what makes you think warriors can’t have soul?

        There’s an actual videogame all about that. I think it was called ‘Soul Fjord’ or something like that. Funkadelic viking rhythm combat.

    Eddurd I read this strip and said to myself if you didn’t filk something with accordions I’d be disappointed. You delivered! どうもありがとう, Dōmo arigatō and poor Mr. Roboto chastened for his musical preference.

    Her problem was leeching Wilkin’s mojo for this. She needs to find James Brown, or something.

    Always like it when my Grand-uncle Larry gets used as a joke. So did he.

    Okay, I’m probably inviting snark and worse my way, but I would actually want to see a horde of robots marching to Welk’s polka. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d be rolling on the floor laughing at the sight. (Which would make me easy conquest for Tigerlily’s ambitions, in retrospect.)

      Don’t listen to him! I’d be an even easier conquest!

      Considering some of the dancers on Welk’s shows, you might have a point.

    I bet Tigerlily’s naming her droids based on the possible-baby-names list before Robin’s name was selected.

    @Tigerlily: I like “One-Winged Angel” by Nobuo Uematsu myself. Just listening to it makes me want to fire up my robot army and go out and conquer something. Unless I’m piloting a giant battle robot, in which case I have to have “The Mob Rules” by Black Sabbath, from the Heavy Metal soundtrack.

    What can I say? I just happen to like the classics…
