Mr. Roboto
"Mr. Roboto" is a song written by Dennis DeYoung and performed by the band Styx on their 1983 concept album Kilroy Was Here. The chorus featured the line, "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto", which has become an unlikely catch phrase.
The song was also featured in a 2000 Volkswagen commercial, and was referenced in the 2002 film Austin Powers in Goldmember.
