This song was popular on MTV during the eighties. I am not sure of the spelling. Can anyone help me find the answer to this one, it is driving me nuts. I cannot remember who it is.

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto by Styx
Mata ah-oo Hima de
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo Shiri Tai
You're wondering who I am - Machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man.
I've got a secret, I've been hiding
Under my skin.
My heart is humn, my blood is boiling
My brain IBM.
So if you see me, acting strangely
Don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who, needed someone
And somewhere to hide
To keep me alive - Just keep me alive.
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive.
I'm not a robot, without emotion
I'm not what you see.
I've come to help you, with your problems
So we can be free.
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour
Forget what you know.
I'm just a man whose, circustances
Went beyond his control - beyond my control.
Beyond my control, we all need control.
I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see, my true identity
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo (Domo), Domo (Domo)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto, Domo (Domo), Domo (Domo)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto [Repeat several X's]
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto for doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto for helping me escape just when I needed
to
Thank you - Thank you. Thank you.
I want to thank you, please thank you.
Oh! Oh-ah-oh!
The problem's plain to see
To much technology
Machine's to save our lives
Machines dehumanize
The time has come at last.
To throw away this mask.
Now everyone can see.
My true identity.
I'm Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy.

"Mr. Roboto" is a song written by Dennis DeYoung and performed by the band Styx on their 1983 concept album Kilroy Was Here. The chorus featured the line, "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto", which has become an unlikely catch phrase. Domo arigato is one of several Japanese phrases that translate to English as "thank you".
[The song tells part of the fictitious story of Robert Orin Charles Kilroy XXIX (ROCK), in the rock opera Kilroy Was Here. The song is sung by Kilroy, a rock and roll performer who was placed in an insane asylum by the anti-rock-and-roll Dr. Righteous. He escapes the prison by hiding inside the emptied-out metal shell of one of the ubiquitous "Mr. Roboto"-model robots who do menial jobs in the prison, and the song may be understood as Kilroy's dedication to the robot that he has killed in order to effect his escape]

Styx performed this on their last HIT album.. THe concept album " paradise Theatre' which had an excellent collection of songs. Bad thing is it became their jump-the-shark album as all went downhill from there..... Also contains: 'Too Much TIme On My Hands' and others.
