Bad 1970s Disco Song Has Even Worse Dancing, But It's Hilarious
The song was stupid, and had nothing to it, but it was rather catchy regardless, so it was a hit. (It doesn't take much, sometimes).
This song was done in the days before so-called official videos, but people did make music videos anyway.
"Fly, Robin, Fly" was performed by three hapless women called Silver Convention. As you can see in the video below their dance skills were, um.....let's just say they could have used a little more practice.
Especially since the dance moves weren't exactly of the calibre you might find on "So You Think You Can Dance."
I especially like the woman on the left, who seems to keep glancing over at her cohorts to confirm whether she was making the right moves, or whether she was out of step. She needn't have. They were all way off. And they often looked confused, which adds to the fun. They certainly would have been buzzed off of "American's Got Talent" if it existed in those days.
But they probably wouldn't have been kicked off "The Gong Show," which DID exist in that era, so there's that
And the attempt at flinging around their hair was cool, too. Here's the video, just for laughs:
