Choose the artist/band

I'm loving Robots in Disguise at the moment.
My two favourite songs are Turn it Up and Girl

Here are the lyrics to Turn it Up

An e-cookie to anyone who can name the artists/bands of the songs listed in the song.
I have italicised the names of the songs.

I woke up weak today and needing your voice
Crawled into the speakers and turned up the volume
Felt so sick today but cured by your noise
My head in the speakers is drowning out volumes

In Ashes To Ashes I'm falling falling
In Ashes To Ashes I'm losing losing
In Curl and Grazes I'm feeling feeling
In Curl and Grazes I'm losing losing

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on

I dress up bright tonight and needing the beat
Dance into the speakers and max up the volume
Feel so high tonight and moved by my feet
My heart in the speakers is loving the volume

In Pretty Vacant I'm jumping jumping
In Pretty Vacant I'm moving moving
In Teaches Of Peaches I'm speeding speeding
In Teaches Of Peaches I'm moving moving

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on

In "Delia's Gone", "I'll Keep It With Mine", "Birdland", "Clouds"
In "Sous Le Soleil Exactement","Sunshine Superman", "I Want You", "Ghosts"
In "Some Velvet Morning", "Paper Wings", "Virginia Avenue", "Laura"
In "Summer's Almost Over", "I Walk the Line", "A Night Like This", "Strange Fruit"

In Hatful Of Hollow I'm diving diving
In Hatful Of Hollow I'm screaming screaming
In Boys and Voodoo I'm living living
In Boys and Voodoo I'm screaming screaming

Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up
Turn me on!


Girl

You like to throw up words
Speak to us as if we got germs
And label us with junior terms
I'm a dog. I'm a pig. I'm a cow. I'm a bird (Tweet Tweet)

Your tongue twists and scars
I need these tags like stabs in the heart
Names for my sex - Oh Blah Blah Blah

I'm a slag. I'm a slut. I'm a tramp. I'm a tart
It's not a dirty word
It's not a dirty word
C'mon use it, dream it, choose to own it, sign it, scream it
G-I-R-L - GIRL!!

We're a double X and proud of it
So vexed -Shan't mind our language
With the F word - F for feminist

I'm a doll; I'm a witch; I'm a peach; I'm a bitch
Hands up if u wanna be in our gang
Cos ladies need a modern vocab
and for starters snatch the old school slang
I'm a twat, I'm a bag, I'm a cunt, I'm a shag

The music video is also pretty awesome.
How could a video, featuring Noel Fielding and Chris Corner (IAMX), with robots fighting be bad?

Edit: I'm looking for the bands that RiD are referencing - even though there are other songs with the same names. I'm mean.
Also, I've noticed that I don't know which "I Want You" song they mean - so I'll let you away with that - it's probably Bob Dylan.
