Army of Me (1995, directed by Michel Gondry)
Her visit to a dentist in a gorilla suit begins with the singer cruises a bleak city in imposing truck, continues as she faces ominous dental imagery, then ends with her blowing up a museum. Curious.

Possibly Maybe (1996, Stéphane Sednaoui)
An atmospheric meditation that's at once Superman (those fuzzy-cam Jor-El visits) and Tron (the neon colors). Also, Björk eats a watermelon.

All is Full of Love (1999, Chris Cunningham)
…in which the singer as placid cyborg gets a tune-up, then proceeds to make out with another borg.

Nature is Ancient (2002, directed by LynnFox)
The natant visuals may be about The Magic of Life, but this hazy, etheral video—which captures reproduction on a cellular level—fascinates like something distinctly otherwordly. (Note: The video for "Oceania," also from LynnFox, is pretty much the same deal, only with acquatic, deep-sea creatures.)

Declare Independence (2008, directed by Michel Gondry)
Björk is a puppet master in this dour, distopian world. Here, she broacasts her dogma through a megaphone sprouting colorful, throbbing strings that are attached to her mindless followers.

Three Rules Of Music Video Robotics
1. Make it confusing. You're never quite sure what Kanye, Beck or Bjork is really up to in these videos.
2. Give a hint of androgyny.
3. And above all, make it sexy.

And here are our favorites:

Dresden Dolls, "Coin-Operated Boy"
An adorable but slightly sad little song about a boy brought to life for love at the low, low price of a single coin. The Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer sings, "Sitting on the shelf. He is just a toy. But I turn him on and he comes to life, automatic joy...Made of plastic and elastic.... More love without complications galore." The bittersweet ditty definitely sings of love, but it's not as tawdry as Gigolo Joe from AI. If only everything were this simple.

Bjork, "All Is Full Of Love"
Absolutely beautiful mechanical Bjork. Looks like the Svedka she-bot stole her look.

Beck, "Hell Yes"
Adorable QRIO 'bots bop along to "Hell Yes." Oh Beck you'll never be a "Loser" when you incorporate dancing robots.

Kylie Minogue, "Come Into My World"/Fever Tour Introduction
She may have battled gold angel hosts on Dr. Who but Kylie embraces her inner android at the opening of her tour gracing the stage in full robot armor. Which songstress Beyonce Knowles later mimicked at the 2007 BET awards. Who knew you could steal a robot look?
