The follow-up to his huge Summer '83 smash "Maniac", the song only peaked at number 28 (only two weeks in the Top 30, too), but I think it deserved much better. Perhaps it suffered "recurrentitis" from "Maniac", which still got a lot of airplay after it fell off the charts (in fact, if the charts were figured by PPW back then, the song would have most definitely still been on in November, 1983, which was when "Automatic Man" was charting.

"Automatic Man" did not fare well on my chart. It spent a single week at #40 on September 24, 1983. If I remember correctly, Michael Sembello looked creepy in the video.  |

I vaguely remember this tune. I know I do have it on '45. Will have to dig it out and play it once. I remember it being an okay song.

Yeah! Pretty good song. I was just listening to it a few weeks ago on the Dick Clark National Music Survey.

I also have the 45 - it's not a bad song, a little dated though.
