Warm Leatherette by The Normal. Came out in the 70s, and fairly undistorted monotone vocals, but it did launch everything important in post-Kraftwerk robot muisc. My favorite track to robot to.

"living on Video" by Trans-X ,
absolutely fucking great early 80's classic - robot voices singing and space invader noises/effects..not to mention great cheesy synth pop .
