Funnily enough, I've never thought of this as a spring song, since our English robins don't migrate. They are very friendly to people (if not to other robins), and are more associated with Christmas here, probably since they show up so well in snow. My first sighting of an American robin was a bit of a surprise, since they are very much bigger than ours, and also much shyer.
fuchsoid, We always think of the return of the robins as one of the first signs of spring.
This winter I did see robins and wondered why they stayed. There was an article in the paper which said they were not our robins but winter robins who had migrated here for the season.

Stuff from the oldies catalogue is just what we need these days. It's cheap, cheesy, and fun. I dare you not to sing along to this gem.
Dan,
I've already lost that bet!
