Mr. Roboto

"Mr. Roboto" is a song written by Dennis DeYoung of the band Styx, and recorded on the album Kilroy Was Here. It was also released as a 45 RPM single in a 4:44 radio edit (which has so far yet to appear on CD), with the song "Snowblind" (from their previous album Paradise Theatre) as the B-side. In Canada, where they were always more popular than in their native U.S., it went to #1 on the RPM national singles chart, becoming their third single to top the charts in that country (following "Babe" in 1979-80 and "The Best of Times" in 1981). In the U.S., it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
