Fly, Robin, Fly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Fly, Robin, Fly" is a 1975 song by the German group Silver Convention. It rose to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1975, staying there for three weeks.
"Fly, Robin, Fly" carries the distinction of being a Billboard chart-topper with one of the fewest numbers of unique words: six. The song was written with very few lyrics due to the group not being able to speak English, and therefore unable to memorize a page of lyrics in a language unfamiliar to them. The chorus simply repeats "Fly, robin, fly" three times, with an ending of "Up, up to the sky!"
"Fly, Robin, Fly" won a Grammy Award in 1976 for Best Instrumental Performance, due to its long interludes in between choruses.
