I remember when this song came out in the spring of 83, I said to myself, this song really sucks and it bombed.

Now in 2021, it sounds prophetic.

[Mount Athos]

still one of the worst high rotation songs of the era

[BubbaJunebug]

Why did I just watch that video....it will be in my head the rest of the day

[ETCM]

still one of the worst high rotation songs of the era

But still a couple spots behind Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra. Yech!

[Yo-Yo]

Now in 2021, it sounds prophetic.

Except for the "with parts made in Japan" part.

These days the parts would be made in China.

Styx played at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes last weekend.

If you ever hear the members of Styx talk about this bizarre concept album that left their staunchest fans scratching their heads, it's a hoot. "Basically, we were doing way too much coke."

[gopno1]

Lol! Yep! Dennis DeYoung went completely over the edge on this one!

[KevinB]

That’s the song that broke up the band.

[mellow velo]

Kilroy killed the band!

Styx jumped the shark with Mr. Roboto .. a couple of years before the phrase "jumped the shark" even entered the lexicon of popular culture.

The creative differences between DeYoung and the rest of the band certainly came to a head with the release of this concept album, headed by this nauseating song.

Went to a Styx concert during the tour where they introduced this song. It was a mind-blowing song at the time and still has that feeling so many years later. Thanks for the posting.
