The song became a hit in the United Kingdom, reaching #2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1960.[1] It was also a hit in Australia (#3) and New Zealand (#4).[2]
Another version of the song was released in the U.S. in 1960 by singer Jamie Horton on the Joy label. It reached #87 on the Music Vendor Top 100 and #12 on the Cash Box Looking Ahead chart.
In "Robot Man," the singer wishes for a man who is an automaton instead of "a real-life boy" to "give her grief" and leave her "crying in her handkerchief." A robotic man would be dependable and predictable, with no need to worry about him cheating, neglecting her, lying to her or arguing with her.
