The song is actually called “Fly, Robin, Fly” a 1975 song by the German group called Silver Convention. It was basically an instrumental except for the chorus of the song title followed by “Up, up to the sky!” No, I don’t remember this songs lyrics, I Googled them! The reason for so few words was the group only spoke German and that’s all they wanted to learn in English. Achtung, baby! And, gasuntight “Gesundheit” is all the German I know (and I didn’t even know how to spell it that well… Thank you Vincent!). So, we’re even.
It was preceded on Billboard’s #1 spot by “That’s the Way (I Like It)” by KC and the Sunshine Band! Such a time to be alive! And to think I was trying to play in a rock band… of all things…
🙂
This one totally cracked me up… and not just because Robyn is drumming barefoot.
I loved KC and the Sunshine Band.
She’s really tough!
Not even a scratch! 😀
LMAO! That was funny – more so as I play in a folk band… Sometimes we’re put on really tiny stages to perform, and there are times between the fiddle (my instrument), the guitar, etc., that getting whacked by a fellow band member’s instrument is a real possibility! 🙂
I was at a hardcore show this weekend and the bassist took out the singer. Huge gash in his scalp, had to call an ambulance for the guy.
I recently bought a bass, because we needed a bassist in our band. Does that spell trouble for my band members?
I like how Bud gets inured after that and Robyn hasn’t got a scratch 😛
I meant injured 🙁
i love this strip!
I’m minded to post here because I recall watching a YouTube video of Heart (in their original 1970’s hippy-chick incarnation) performing “Crazy on You” live. Association, you see: a band fronted by two hot chicks who could also sing and play guitar. Nancy Wilson is moving around on stage like a blonde guitar-playing angel. As is Roger Fisher, the co-guitarist. Rumour had it that they’d had a bad relationship breakdown shortly before going on stage. while at one point they co-ordinate well enough to do the Shadows walk in unison, shortly after it breaks down to the point where Nancy steps back and to her right. Roger goes into the big solo while bounding athletically across the stage and launching a great hurtling leap off the drummer’s podium. To his left.
Whether by accident or design, the finger-post of his guitar and the bit on the end with the keys on misses Nancy’s head. By millimetres. She recovers quickly and if you blink you miss it. But seeing Robyn get clonked by a stray moving guitar is how it MIGHT have been for Heart that night… definitely not a Magic Man. More “If looks could kill”, in fact…
