Silver Convention - Fly Robin Fly

[ajacoub]

This is such delicate disco composition

[ThisIsVice]

This comment is dedicated to all high robins like me :D

[njplr]

This song was such a hit in NY, there was a time when the 12" extended version was going for $75, an astronomical amount in those days. The Glory Days of Disco, it was, and right along with it, the Glory Days of nightclubbing. The fun we had in that era, OMFG, it was on a scale simply incomprehensible to the kids of today. New York City was the center of the world, as far as nightlife went. God, those were the days...:)

1976 What a year those were the better days when music was music not like the garbage you hear on certain radio stations.This song sure does bring back fun memories just enjoying life and without working just going to school and having fun in the summer.Just being free and hanging with friends. 70's music is #1

[JOLENE2008]

awesome:)

[Robertdesoto]

I was in Germany when I first heard this song. July of 75.....Ahh those were the days of the Ratzkeller, beer, and girls!!

[dreammerobin]

Thats right! Whoot whoot!:)

[79wolfgar]

Nice Song! Welcome to the 70ties.

[MELONHEAD8458]

Wow December 1975 is when you were born.I was 9 years old. I love this song,I used to hear it on the radio during that time.Now I have it on a CD.The Soul /R & B stations back in

Buffalo,New York used to play the hell out of this song back then.

[lifelongitch]

Those who bemoaned the arrival of insipid disco music, were driven to further tears with these lyrics.

[DerDeftige1]

[TheUbercharge1]

[piotrasek3]

szkoda że nie żyłem w tamtych latach,było by co wspominać, wspaniałe wykorzystanie skrzypiec,kocham ten song

[EuMesmoVII]

I just found out this was the number 1 song on the "Billboard" rank at the day I was born (12/dec/75)!

(...at least according to a service named "Number One In History" at the page of a guy named Josh Hosler! They use Billboard numbers to find out the most played tune at your birthday. Search the web for "joshhosler" and "NumberOneInHistory"!)

[70sman4ever]

@EuMesmoVII I think I heard this song as I was entering the world because I can hear its echo. 12/11/75 here! Dig it?!

[70sman4ever]

@EuMesmoVII From the album "Save Me" which I so dearly possess on vinyl and I play it as if it was 1975 all over again!! Dynomiiite!!!

[afitz32]

i wish i was alive back in 1975. too bad i was born 18 years later.

[gertie1999]

@afitz32 Same Here I wish I was alive in the 1970s as well. Times were much simpler.

[sixsixxsixxxx]

@gertie1999 no they weren't and don't fall for myths ur elders tell you...live in the present and hope 4 the future gertie...an,d yes, i lived throught them

[artisticluminiere]

[hippyshake93]

O.S.T.R. !  :D

[harvester49]

Yeah the 70's, when nobody knew about the word 'terrorist'.

Thought that life was plain and straight-forward.

[steinerjani]

This is really a great song! What is interesting is that one of my friend is playing the original base guitar in it! He did is for a drink frankly...not much for a world classic!

One of the greatest guitar players of our time...and not too many people know his name: Béla Kozma (originally Hungarian) Szeretünk Béci!!! S.Jani és Mosó Zsolt

[SilverOneJ]

Bring back disco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frankyz2666]

And another german who selled Coke to the US's...! But: A greatfull produced sound for hat time.

[depailler80]

@frankyz2666 i also like the clear and sharp sound of instruments used up to 82-83. unfortunatelly they current use shitty electronic sound for r n b, or they sample the older songs

[mrkrinkle72]

or johnny wad you choose

[mrkrinkle72]

reminds me of john holmes lol

[molokaituxtla]

la escuchaba mi mama me encanta

[70sman4ever]

@aldiakaroofus No, gimme 5!! There was no high 5 in the 70s.

[ccg91]

love the sound, I could listen to this for a long time

[ursa41]

I would hear boom-boxes blast this great hit song out on the street every time I got out of Catholic school in the early summer 1976 before summer vacation...shit, man, THOSE were the days...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SONIC5879]

wow for one of the most cathiest songs in the world that has only 6 words fly robin up to the sky

[patrick9648]

We used to jam to this song at the skating rink back in 1976.

[2012Gravitation]

THATS IT!!FLYYYY!!

[Syruscleat]

Great song! You're right, music isn't what it used to be. I was a care free 12 year old when this came out, now I'm 48, worrying about my body giving out. But still, when I hear this song and many others from the seventies, therer is a purity about them.

[vivreenfrance1]

thank you for that.

[covermusichere]

cover this song on my channal.

[mimimusic570]

9 people couldnt get their Robin to fly.

[TheWjames7]

[MrKarlo98]

[aholmes99]

My nephew used to love this song when he was a baby! He was so cute!!! I have a photo of him with his pacifier and he is singing and dancing with me to this song!!! He just got married this year (2010) to a beautiful young woman! Robins fly and so does time!

[Lokypop70]

i rmb this song.... its been uch a decade.... nw listening to it brings me back to my grand childhood....

[jetta333]

Now that I'm listening to this song, the words are redundant. But the music is awsome. However, it was the bomb back in the day. LOL

[templedown]

[GL0CK19onboard]

1.35 --- ABC wild world of sports background music....for golf

[djmusicjac]

[gailheruth]

Ok, I graduated in 1975 and don't remember this song! I can't even get through the whole song it is so frickin' annoying!! Three words to the whole song - really?!

[UBZUKI]

travelling way back in time...in an instant...Such a good feeling to wrap your self in nostalgia now and again....good times

[simoncitoish]

EXCELENTE GRUPO MUSICAL QUE NOS DIVERTIO EN LOS AÑOS 70s,QUE BUEN RECUERDO GUARDO DE ELLOS.

DE COLOMBIA CON MUCHO AMOR

HERNANDO GOMEZ GOMEZ

[prem73]

Did you notice that this song is so cool and the lyrics is made up of only 8 words.

FLY ROBIN FLY, UP UP TO THE SKY

Probably one of the easiest song to sing along.

[jasmineheart209]

Im only 13 and I think music today is junk. People my age think im crazy for thinking that but i dont care.THIS IS REAL MUSIC AND NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS I WILL LISTEN TO THIS KIND OF MUSIC FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!

[monkeydude28]

=3  ( . Y .)

[clarkbell]

Memories of Acme and A&P in Philly!

And the PLCB... remember, you must be 21 to enter store premises!

[rocksmeller99]

or, maybe they are talking about Burt Ward, of Batman fame

love the long version

[rocksmeller99]

wonder if somebody has done a song about a blue jay?

[househeadericmd]

up UP to the sky!!!!!

[bilbo2shire]

I moved to Reform, Alabama the Summer of '76 and lived with my Dad. The Picken County High School Tornadoes Marching Band use to tear this song up. High School Football on a Friday Night in the South. You have to experience it to understand it. Everybody had fun and Pickens County Alabama was a 'DRY' County then and it still is today. Man we had fun that Summer and Fall. bilbo2shire

[ooCHICOoo]

nice remenber in school on 79 and 80

[TheClassychick1970]

I was a mere baby in the 70's, but I remember this song played @ my uncle's bar & my step father's big parties where he DJ'd in Queens, NYC & I LOVE THIS SONG! I will be 40 this yr in December & want to have a 70's Studio 54 Themed Birthday Party! I LOVE THE SEVENTIES, IT WAS A GOOD TIME FOR ME!:)

[GrandMasterBison]

@TheClassychick1970

Oh shit !!!

I am from Queens, New York.. Bayside, Flushing, and a little Brooklyn..

[avatarkimmi]

I LIKE...

[groofoot]

This song tore the U.S. singles chart to shreds. Within 3 weeks of release, it was at no. 16. The next week it soared to no. 2, and the following week it booted k.c. and the sunshine band from no. 1. Spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum. Those were the days!

[jackw220862]

Good old days.

[Bequibo61]

veri, veri nice, epoca de disco, uf que recuerdos, thenks for music, osea gracias por la musica, asi se escribe verdad.

[dofritz]

te recuerdes

up up to the sky

porque no

tiene algo............

[a1700zz]

Never stopped loving this song. the great riffs and the real orchestra are hellava alot better than the morbid simplicity and down right electronic jibberish thats presently playing.

[Bequibo61]

me podrían traducir el titulo de la canción

[caribeandude1]

@Bequibo61 el robin es un tipo de ave.  El titulo dice "Vuela robin vuela"

[dofritz]

que mucho tiempo

[roberv38REC]

@dofritz  de 1976.

[99alvaromendoza]

Recuerdo esta canción en una disco la escuchaba y bailaba con mi novia en una disco en ciudad satelite en el estado de mexico en esta version larga que hasta este momento me trae buenos recuerdos

[TheUncannie]

I listen to this song all the time on "SIRIUS XM The Strobe"

[cheapcape]

@TheUncannie I listen to that channel every night!

[gottagift]

Cool Song. i just Googled fly robin fly, selected videos, and here i am

[chelzeaify]

it still has the magic from when i was a young girl. makes me dance which is easy for me.

[animalista1965]

I feel the same shit man 70's...music party no pressure but fun

[richieroller67]

The sweet sound of the 70s , How wonderful they were !

[househeadericmd]

@richieroller67 you said it mate! nothing can touch this classic disco vibe!

[clarkbell]

@richieroller67 Hard to believe this was 18 years before I was born... right when Pantry Pride was already closing! Makes me think of old school liquor stores.

[mattwu911]

@richieroller67 Kind of sounds like a line from a time life cd commercial :)

[jgk381]

@mattwu911 lol



[CHRISLOVESBLONDIE]

i love the pre 90s sound

[marlinus64]

The bass line in this song is classic and killer!

[brudi12]

The Silverconventions together with the unforgetable Bert Kaempfert.

An All Time Classic !

[copperlocks1]

The violin players kick major butt!!...wonderfull fusion of pop and classic instruments...thank you for posting

[cheapcape]

@copperlocks1 Exaclty. Some misinformed people claim this song is talentless because it has very few lyrics, but they fail to realize the musicians behind Fly Robin Fly are indeed talented, and the trio's voices sound nice too :) In the seventies, it was required for mainstream musicians to possess such skills, unlike now.

[mahesh1946]

@cheapcape Dear Sir

Regards

It is not theta this song has few lyrics. It is the only song with only one very short sentence. And the talent is unquestionable. It is still popular.

Thanks

Blessings

Uma maheswar

[ivanofna]

@cheapcape correction: it was required for studio musicians to possess such skills, the performers didn't have to be able to sing. But this song is brilliant: so few lyrics in so many songs, it's the bestest!

[acidhouser1]

classic

[brisbailrocks]

Brings back memories of my teen years.

[ClainDoleBoy]

Redman and Methodman sampled this shit for the track How High. its Dope shit. listen to it

[reneramosdeNasca]

Gran Clásico Una de las mejoresssssssssssssssssssss... que melodiasss de lo 70's ... Tengo toda su colección de Silver Convention

[prejeba]

Voe Robin Voe, para o alto dos céus!!

Fly Robin fly, up up to the skies!!

[juhacolnago]

With lyrics?

[max9607]

OMG I was a freshman in college when this came out. Man the memories this brings back!!

[paulo8tavares]

Great time, great music.

This music makes to remember a lot of things of my adolescence.

That longing!

Paulo - Salvador - Bahia - BRAZIL.

[chibutilla]

This song has some of the hottest violin rips i have ever heard!!!! the break and the bridge.......SICK!!!!!!!@!!

[Kell1295]

Driving back from Coney Island on a hot evening. Stopping at Sam's pizza to grab a slice and a coke. Head back to the house for more dancing and good times.

[kell7wlt]

This reminds me of the Robinhood Hats back in the day! LOL!

[CusterFlux]

Good string players - but geez - straight from the sausage factory; I'm sure the drummer slit his wrists after the session.

[IntellectualMusic]

maybe.. but the whole disco, funk music didn't really need interesting drumming. A 4/4 is still hot

[zapkvr]

Didn't these women morph into Boney M? If they didn't they should have.

[Moodytraxx]

up up to the sky ;-)

[discomadame]

great!!!

[OSCOZOFF]

Que de souvenirs ..!!! tres belle musique, tres belle epoque.....

Merci

[megaladon73]

This song always reminds me of Carlito's Way...

[BStaffen1989]

It even topped the Billboard Hot 100.

[vegasbaby92]

.....and won them a Grammy

[AllRequired]

Back when things weren't so formulaic.

[ivanofna]

@AllRequired Despite the song being good, I'd say things were Way more formulaic. Listen to Any disco song and you will notice that they use the same instruments and similiar chords. Fashion allways exists and so do trends. All music is formulaic in every era.

[AllRequired]

@ivanofna Some more so than others.

[jukarmolo]

vuela robin vuela,espectacular y sin drogas vuelas,es sencillamente espectacular.

[josesotillo5]

Adoro esta canción,es espectacular y siempre la llevo conmigo,ademas es muy relajante y suave,es muy agradable oirla.Viva la musica disco.

[MegaG15]

Method Man & Redman - How High :P

[HobbsBhipp]

This song was always a favorite of mine, it has 70's written all over it. Then, there was a cute girl named Robin who was in my class back when I was in middle school when this song came out.

[NORRIN68]

I hear ya, my cute chick was Kelly, back in second grade, when this song came out

[mikkyfeets]

wait a minute.. Didn"t somebody notice there was 5 minutes of song and 3 minutes of dead space?? Why is that?
