This Gigantic Robot Kills is the fourth album by
MC Bat Commander of The Aquabats, Suburban Legends, Worm Quartet, Gabriel Saporta of Cobra Starship, Brett Anderson of The Donnas, MC Frontalot, Amie Miriello of Dirtie Blonde, Jesse Dangerously, Linus Dotson of Size 14, Parry Gripp of Nerf Herder, Jonathan Coulton, Aesias Finale, Sebastian Reynolds, Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus, and classical musician Walt Ribeiro
on songs for the new album.
The track "Hey There Ophelia" is based on "Screamager" by Northern Irish band Therapy?. "Screamager" appears on the Shortsharpshock E.P., and the album, Troublegum.[2]
The track "White Kids Aren't Hyphy" is loosely based on the song "I Wish" by Skee-Lo.[3]
The title of the album is a tribute to Wesley Willis, who appeared at the end of the MC Lars song "Yes, I Am an Alien" and the beginning of the song "True Player for Real". In both songs, Wesley says that he will write a song about Lars on his new album, called "This Gigantic Robot Kills". Wesley died shortly after.
