Yes! Lots of old OMD explored electronica, electricity, radio waves, etc. For robots and electronic circuitry, you can't go wrong with Gary Numan and Kraftwerk.

Maybe "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby?

I can't believe nobody's mentioned "Video Killed the Radio Star", "I Love You Miss Robot" and others by Buggles.

I think Sheena Easton did a song called Telephone? Very catchy and not so NW but it was probably her most NW track.

Btw, I have never heard the original version the Nerves' Hanging on the Telephone. Does it sound anything like Blondie's version? Is it better or not as good or totally different?
