synergism from Jem
What if The Bangles had a sentient Pentagon - grade supercomputer ? That ’s the close actual - life estimation of Jem ’s plot of ground I can bone up up . Anyway , Synergy was Jem ’s hologram generator / svengali . candidly , I gave up on the show after I understand Glenn Danzig was n’t a recur baddie .
Grace Jones — Demolition Man

Britney Spears in Austin Powers in Goldmember
I honestly forgot Britters was in this movie . Then again , most audience members expunged this cinema from their prospicient - full term memories the here and now they leave the theater . For a more recent cyberpop starlet , see Christina Aguilera’s“Bionic . ”

Robyn — Fembot
Robyn ’s 2010 multi - album epic Body Talk has a few scifi - inflected gems ( such as the discotheque destroyer“Time Machine ” ) , and“Fembot”delivers the goods legal community none . There ’s no medicine video for the caterpillar tread , so I ’m using the video for “ The Girl and the Robot ” — her 2009 quislingism with Norse electromeisters Röyksopp — as a proxy .
Hal Featuring Gillian Anderson — “ Extremis ”
Okay , so Anderson ’s probably not a sexbot here , but this 1997 electronica course boast Dana Scully doing super - serious spoken Son about diddling an golem is absolutely invaluable . It ’s like watching the world ’s most awesomely big aftershave ad .

Tancharoen , who write for Dollhouse and played the part of Kilo , also penned this lead for the episode “ Epitaph One ” and performed in the Song dynasty ’s music video . It ’s kin to “ All Is Full Of Love , ” but a heart - breaking bummer .
Duran Duran – Electric Barbarella
And we terminate on a classy Federal Reserve note ! Sure , the automaton ’s a muse rather than instrumentalist , but this here ’s a landmark fembot television . Also seeMSTRKFT ’s “ mould On You”for more fembot foibles .
ADDENDUM : Thanks to all those readers who suggested Garbage ’s “ The World Is Not Enough . ” certainly we would n’t want to chagrin Shirley Manson , the T-1001 from The Sarah Connor Chronicles .
