Answer: Me and Bobby McGee

This was first recorded in 1970 by a country singer named Roger Miller, who was better known for writing novelty songs. But the version I have stuck in my head would be the version by Janis Joplin.

Music and lyrics by David Bowie From the "Labyrinth" movie soundtrack from 1986. The lyrics from "Magic Dance" that starts with "You remind me of the ..." comes from a traditional spoken nursery game for children. And typical of such games there are different versions that use "voodoo" "whodoo" and "hoodoo", but all refer to a "man". Bowie substituted it with "babe"!

"Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Mata ah-oo hima de
