"Charly" is a 1991 song by the British electronic act The Prodigy. Its 'Alley Cat Remix' was released as their debut single during 1991, and was included on their 2005 compilation album Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005 and on disc two of their 2008 album Experience Expanded. The version of the song that was included on their debut 1992 album Experience is the different 'Trip into Drum & Bass Version'.
Its 'Alley Cat Remix', with its 'Original Mix' as a b-side, was released in the UK on 12 August 1991 through XL Recordings on vinyl, CD and cassette tape format. Almost a year later, it was released as a double A-side single with "Everybody in the Place" in the United States on 18 June 1992 through Elektra Records on CD, digipak and maxi-single format.
On 22 November 2004 both of those versions of the song were released on digital download format. On 1 October 1992, "Charly" had sold over 200,000 copies in the UK which in turn enabled it a Silver BPI certification.
