VIDEO: "DRAGON WALK" BY THE NOBELMEN STARRING BIG DOG & DARPA LS3 ATV ROBOTS! ~ Popthomology

WHY?

Because I so love these totally insane all-terrain robots developed by Boston Dynamics and DARPA, and felt they really needed to be set to music. The song is by Milwaukee, Wisconsin's own Nobelmen, the winners of the WOKY-AM (my "home station," the Mighty 92 back inna day) "First Rock Band In Milwaukee" contest in the late-'50s. They made this one awesome gritty instrumental 45 on USA Records and were never heard from again. The robots seem to dig it. Please to enjoy!

I consider it quite an honor that you chose Illinois Jacquet to represent me not that I would compare my playing to his in any way, but Jacquet was a real soul-cat.

Thank you."
