Robot Riot

 is a song sung by Love Händel near the end of Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. It accompanies a montage of the ferocious clash between Doofenshmirtz 2's Norm Bot battalion attempting to seize control of Danville and the defending force led by Phineas and Ferb.

Lyrics
Danny: It's gonna be a mechanized mêlée

A bit of a big bot brawl

When we get through you're gonna know it's true

The more metallic they are the harder they fall

And don't mess with me 'cause I'm a whole lot of trouble

when I'm backed up against the wall

We're gonna kick some robot chassis

So you better tell your robot nation

To say a robot prayer, 'cause you better prepare

For an automaton annihilation

You think you're gonna take us down

Well, mechanical man you just try it

You gonna ride that rail out of town

This is a Robot Riot! (Robot Riot)

I think you know what I mean (Robot Riot)

This is a Robot Riot (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna break you down

And sell you for scrap metal (Robot Riot)

But I'll keep enough to build myself a trampoline

'Cause your momma was a blender

and your dad was just a washing machine

This is a Robot Riot!

I'm gonna rip you up, I'm gonna break you down

I'm gonna take you to a chop shop down town

You know that you'll be dreadin' this android Armageddon

I think you better check your fluids 'cause I know you're sweatin'

You know you're gonna lose and sing the robot blues

You'll blow a fuse and take a robot snooze

I will deactivate ya, because I kinda hate ya

Don't wanna beat around the bushes, gonna decimate ya

This is a Robot Riot! (Robot Riot)

Oh man it's on! (Robot Riot)

This is a robot riot (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna rip you up

and put you back together (Robot Riot)

In a new configuration just to mow my lawn

Danny and Bobbi: Cause your sister is a fridge,

and you know her light is always on

Danny: This is a Robot Riot!

Robot Riot Robot Riot (Look Out!)

Robot Riot Robot Riot

This is a Robot Riot! (Robot Riot)

You better listen up

I got some breaking news (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna melt you down and pour you on some baby shoes (Robot Riot)

I'm really on a mission

I call it demolition (Robot Riot)

And when I'm through you're gonna need more than a new transmission (This is a Robot Riot)

No matter how you strive

You're gonna take a dive (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna mess you up and devastate your hard drive (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna shut you down, I'm teaching you a lesson

Rip out your CPU and show it to you still processing

This is a Robot Riot!

I'm gonna rip you up, I'm gonna break you down (Robot Riot)

I'm gonna take you to a chop shop down town (Robot Riot)

You know that you'll be dreadin' this android Armageddon (Robot Riot)

I think you better check your fluids 'cause I know you're sweatin' (This is a Robot Riot)

You know you're gonna lose and sing the robot blues (Robot Riot)

You'll blow a fuse and take a robot snooze (Robot Riot)

I will deactivate ya, because I kinda hate ya (Robot Riot)

Don't wanna beat around the bushes, gonna decimate ya

This is a Robot Riot!

I'm gonna rip you up, I'm gonna break you down (Robot Riot)

Gonna take you to the chop shop down town (Robot Riot)

This is a Robot Riot!

I'm gonna rip you up, I'm gonna break you down (Robot Riot)

Gonna take you to the chop shop down town (Robot Riot)

This is a Robot Riot!

I'm gonna rip you up, gonna break you down (Robot Riot)

Gonna take you to the chop shop down town (Robot Riot)

This is a Robot Riot!

Gonna rip you up, gonna break you down (Robot Riot)

Gonna take you to the chop shop down town

This is a Robot Riot!

All right!

Background information

 * The original demo was recorded lo-fi in Martin Olson's office at Disney using Garageband and no mics. Dan Povenmire sang the lead and Swampy Marsh, Martin Olson and Jaret Reddick played guitar and sang backups. The laughing at the end of the demo is that of Olson and Reddick. They found the fact that they stopped playing at exactly the same time rather amusing.
 * The song is performed by Jaret Reddick (as Danny) and Dan Povenmire makes the background chorus as Bobbi Fabulous
 * The song is the 3rd longest original song, behind Kick It Up A Notch, and Summer Belongs to You.
 * This is the first song to begin with an extended version on a soundtrack.
 * The phrase "The more metallic they are, the harder they fall" is a reference to the common phrase "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
 * Almost everything the boys have invented is used to fight the Norm bots in this song though appears from Season 1's "Rollercoaster" to Season 3's "The Belly of the Beast".
