The song is actually a creepy version of the No Strings on Me song from Pinocchio (the Disney Version). It is always fun to hear creepy versions of happy childhood songs.

As far as a Skynet outcome goes, it is possible. Ironwood and Atlas in general seem to be going in the direction of technology instead of human intervention. Their robots also seem to have at least a limited AI which isn't as smart as a human, but they can come up with battle plans on their own. They probably have a few smart-AI running the city's power grids and water supply. Maybe one day it will calculate that humans cannot be saved and will try and kill them all.

Either way, I don't think it is impossible. However it is one of those plot lines that have been done over and over again and the RWBY-crew may not want to go in that direction.
