Created by Austin’s own Robot Group, Babbling Robot Head was singing Scottish traditional songs in a synthesized voice. The voice is kind of nasal and drone’y, but oddly pleasant. Well, maybe not all of its songs were Scottish, but the one I remember best, “Flower of Scotland”, was. Here it is captured on video (9 sec).
