Suggest songs for the PC Pro Computer playlist

Here’s a bit of Friday fun: help us complete a Spotify playlist of computer-related songs.

The rules are simple:

1. The song title or artist must have a computer connection. (Kraftwerk’s Computer Love, or anything by The Commodores, for example)

2. It must be in the Spotify library  

We’ll put the best 12 suggestions into the PC Pro Computer Playlist. Add your suggestions using the comments below. 

UPDATE: Voting has now closed. Thanks for all your suggestions. See the final PC Pro playlist here

    Damn – “Still Alive” (from superb 3D puzzler Portal) isn’t listed.

    So instead I suggest ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic’s classic parody “It’s All About The Pentiums”…

    Mac the Knife.

    Quick thought and I freely admit, I’ve no idea if it’s in Spotify’s library.

    Lupe Fiasco with Go Go Gadget Flow from his frankly magnificent album The Cool.

    Or indeed High Definition, from the same album.
