Love it lots. :icon_biggrin: Maybe it's not quite as camply brilliant as Sarah Brightman's 'I Lost my Heart...' but it's still fab IMO. The promo video that went with it deserves a special mention with it's well-endowed robot too!:icon_eek:

It's campy, it's sung with so much drama!
I loved it when it first came out and still do. This one has to be played very loud and then it works remarkably well. Strangely enough it always reminds me a little bit of the Who's "Feel Me".
But...let's face it, it's indeed one of those tracks you love or hate.

Should have listened to your gut reaction on this one Dayna !
That cold 'n inhuman voice with its distractingly horrid vocal delivery that drones on and on and makes one finally want to shout "SHUT UP ! "
No ......... not the robot's ......

I'm often found loitering around the docks when the space ships come in, and Dee Dee is one of the reasons why. Akka B is another with "Queens of Space".

I prefer the version of Sylvia's Automatic Lover.

I love it! :icon_cool:
Beyond the campiness of it all, there's that beautiful refrain in there: "..see me, feel me, hear me, love me, touch me.." which shines through and makes it all worthwhile..

Hmmm!
This is a bit of a "guilty pleasure" for me.
I bought the 12" from a Record fair not so long ago (on yellow vinyl to boot)

Automatic Lover – Sylvia or Dee D Jackson?
Which one do I prefer?
The first version I was introduced to was the one from Sylvia so I have a sentiment of loyalty to it.
The version from Sylvia also sound less "forged" and artificial to me.
The fun thing is I only own the Dee D Jackson vinyl version...

Heres Jay Jay Johanson's version,
