Nine Inch Nails or Prodigy (or Moby, for that matter), same difference.  If RDJ were
making a "serious" attempt at this style he would have produced more tunes along this
line.  He's spoofing electronic music that wants to sound like it's "badass", but at
the same time wants it to succeed on the charts.  I recall an interview where he
talks about trying for a #1 single - and a song in the style of "Come to Daddy" is a
lot more likely to do it than "Flim" or "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball".  My $0.02.
