    Hi, I'm looking for a 80's song, but coudn't find out the name of the artist or song..:facepalm:
    The song has...
    - A female lead vocal.
    - A robotic (vocoder?) male voice and as far as I remember, this voice is only talking in the song.
    - Genre is 80's pop I'd say.

    It's not much, but anyone knows already what song it could be?
    Thanks!

    Boney M had an annoying song called "Nightfligh to Venus". Late 70s.

    An obvious choice, but maybe "Funky Town" matches the description too. Lipps Inc.

    Vocoder singing in funky town, not talking. The Topo & Roby video wasn't the right one (wrong video clip), here is the correct link, my bad.

    O Superman was my first choice. That is the one I had posted above BUT he said female singer and male vocoder voice.

    Lipps, Inc. - Funkytown - 1980

    the male robotic voice talks at 01:06
    song genre is disco
    and the song originally was produced in 1979 without the vocodor male robot vocals
    so in this video its clear the robotic vocals were added and i also found
    the original boosted extended mix of FUNKYTOWN which has the robotic vocals added
    AND can be listened at 08:32 (back in the day the extended versions of any song were the best thing going in music
    and has drums sections with guitars/keys/pads/sax/bells thats not clearly heard in the original song and 9 mins of funkytown
    will make you learn about music mixing more than 3 hours of timbaland wasted masterclass

    besides ..people dancing here makes you wanna boogie

    That clip actually owns to Dee D Jackson - Automatic lover, part of the concept album Cosmic Curves (yes, 70 disco too had concept albums).


    I think that sticking to the original op the best candidates are:
    Dee D Jackson
    Topo & Roby
    Lipps Inc
    Rah band
