  1. I agree Laura but it did very well worldwide & was the right selection for lead single on IC "Tripping" is a song by British singer Robbie Williams from his sixth studio album Intensive Care (2005). The single was released as the album's lead single on 3 October 2005 through Chrysalis Records. Backed with the track "Make Me Pure", also from the same album, it was sent to radio stations around the world. Upon its release, "Tripping" became a global hit, reaching number one in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. It peaked within the top five in more than 10 European countries, including the United Kingdom, where it reached number two and was the 19th best-selling single of 2005. It was also a success in Australia, reaching number seven on the ARIA Singles Chart, and peaked at number 20 in New Zealand. Robbie Williams called the song "something like a mini gangster opera" and "kind of cabaret act reggae". The rolling rhythm of the song owes much to the early work of the Clash. During the chorus Williams reaches an extremely high disco-like head voice. Lyrically the song is a bit darker than previous songs. It tells the tale of gangsters and how they "don't kill their own and they all love their mothers", before an anguished chorus of "I've taken as much as I'm willing to take". The opening lyrics "First they ignore you, then laugh at you and hate you. Then they fight you, then you win" is a paraphrase commonly misattributed to Mahatma Gandhi. The song became a worldwide success for Williams, debuting inside the top 10 in most countries around Europe, including number two in the United Kingdom, spending six weeks inside the top 10 and 15 weeks inside the top 75. The single reached number one in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. The song also reached number one on the Eurochart Hot 100, becoming Europe's eighth-most-successful song of 2005.In Switzerland, the single was certified Gold for shipments exceeding 20,000 units. In Mexico, the song reached number nine and became the 11th most played track of the year. In Australia, "Tripping" peaked at number seven and went on to sell over 35,000 copies, being certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association. The video, which was directed by Johan Renck, features Robbie Williams running in place as if he can't seem to get anywhere. It appears that Williams is having a nightmare, in which he is living sometime in the 1950s, and is stuck running endlessly in a maze without ever advancing, or driving in a stereotypical 1950s backdrop. It also includes a baby singing to him some of the chorus, and a pair of lesbian twins in the backseat of his Saab 95. He finds himself trapped in an elevator with a larger person dressed in drag, who unexpectedly suggests engaging in intimate actions. Initially, he attempts to resist, but eventually succumbs to the situation and allows the person to touch him. Right at that moment, Williams awakens, smiles, and gently closes his eyes. Source..

Hail Keanu. – I didn’t notice the day I changed from former f***boy to Michael Landon in Highway to Heaven… yet here we are – So I know I said tanning spray in the video, but it was actually tanning drops — the kind you squeeze out with a pipette and mix into moisturiser like you’re conducting a tiny, bronzed science experiment. If you get the ratio right, the results can be miraculous. As you can see, I did not. I was all confidence, no technique. Basically a summary of 1990 to 2020. And yet — not my most disastrous attempt at self-improvement. That award goes to the time I had liposuction on my stomach. Shout out to all the “Blobby Robbie” headlines — thank you for compounding my already-thriving self-esteem issues. Anyway, when the fat came back (which it did), it couldn’t return to the same postcode. Mine settled under my arms and around my shoulders — making suits feel like emotional warfare and shirts the enemy of joy. Rogue Shoulder Fat™ — the great equaliser. Turns up to red carpets and school runs. Doesn’t discriminate. There’s a support group. Before Mounjaro, I attended the meetings in a cape. Everyone did. It was the only thing that fit. Anyway — that was mine. What’s your most disastrous attempt at self-improv. If anyone says taking a file to their teeth.Pics or it didnt happen. Namaste, FFS 🙏 Robert x
  3. Robbies voice sounds so good on this track
  4. My song selection is probably a little bit ambitious given that I picked Me & My Monkey which in itself I believe is seven minutes long. I know Robbie has to pace himself throughout the show so maybe I would remove two other tracks namely Hot Fudge & Losers. I think everyone is looking for something different if all the comments & expectations I read are true . If I hear She's The One & Strong once more live it will do my head in . Let's hope Robbie gets wind of Lucy & Matt's podcast episode for this one , it would be great if he would listen to the fans . Robbie Williams Rewind I absolutely love hearing Me & My Monkey live, it takes you on such a journey & the many instruments in the band ( especially the Atlantic Horn lads ) create an amazing feel, it's just fabulous. I also love Tripping live, . it has that lovely Reggae feel to it, ideal to bop & sing along to 🎶🎧 Talking about Atlantic Horns, look at the list of artists they have worked with About — Atlantic Horns

  6. I always thought it was just the whole monkey thing did not transfer to all types of media . A photo of Ribbie on a magazine cover makes you look twice, not so much a monkey unless you were a fan & knew the connection. Some fab posters out there though .
  7. Robbiewilliams Insta Pleasentaries Hail Keanu We’re staying at our friends house, it has a long corridor upstairs . The house is lovely, not scary at all but that corridor at night without a light on can be some what tight and some what intimidating.Especially to a 12 year old *My oldest Teddy. ‘’Daddy , will you walk me to my room’’ asks an expectant Teddy. ‘’Of course darling’’ comes my fatherly reply. We walk along the corridor, I kiss Teddy good night at her door.Turn to walk back. And then it hit me ‘’Who’s going to walk ME back’’? Maybe “adult” is just the character we improvise when there’s no one else to walk us back down the hallway. That’s the thing about adulting. I guess a lot of me is barely older than 12. Look, I wasn’t full of fear but you know what I mean. I was fearful enough to recognise the humour in the moment and also recognise that it actually was a moment. I guess that got me to thinking how many ages do i feel ? Well,I defo feel 12, I defo feel 16, I defo feel 18, sometimes I’m mentally in my 20’s but there’s no way I feel 51. My body does kinda but my psyche hasn’t made it to 30 yet. What about you ? Namaste FFS 🙏 Robert Instagram

  9. British pop icon Robbie Williams christens cruise ship with spectacular concert in MalagaThe entertainer performed at an exclusive concert in the city's port to inaugurate the Mein Schiff Relax, the latest vessel to be added TUI's fleet Juan Soto Malaga Thursday, 10 April 2025, 09:55 | Updated 10:38h. Pop icon Robbie Williams and holiday giant TUI have sealed their partnership in Malaga. The British entertainer gave an exclusive concert at Malaga port last night, as part of the inauguration ceremony of Mein Schiff Relax, the German company's new luxury cruise ship, which chose the capital of the Costa del Sol for the specatcular ceremony. Among those attending were the cruise passengers of three of the company's ships that had come to Malaga specifically for the occasion: the new Mein Schiff Relax, the Mein Schiff 5 and the Mein Schiff 7. The bad boy of British pop also sang for some 2,000 locals and tourists who had purchased tickets for the occasion. Robbie Williams' exclusive concert in Malaga port, in picturesThe vessel's opening ceremony was a full-on spectacle, with food stalls, international artists, DJs, flamenco performances and fireworks. The actual baptism of the ship took place at the end of the event and was broadcast live on the giant video screens that had been installed for the occasion. Tom Roth, captain of Mein Schiff Relax, expressed his pride in launching his "new baby". The ship does indeed deserve praise, for it is the product of innovative design and technology that make it more energy-efficient and sustainable. Frank Kuhlmann, CFO of TUI Cruises also spoke at the inauguration, which he described as very important for the company. Malaga city's spokespeople were Carlos Rubio, president of the Port Authority, and mayor Francisco de la Torre. They encouraged those present to come back to Malaga - a city "with hundreds of years of history". Zoom Robbie Williams Paco Griñán The most anticipated moment came at 8.30pm, when Robbie Williams appeared on stage to perform some of his most iconic songs. During the hour-long show, he interacted with the audience, even picking up the phone of one of the audience members to talk to her daughter. Part of his speech was dedicated to the beauty of the ship, as expected. Mein Schiff Relax is TUI's largest shipBuilt in February 2022, Mein Schiff Relax is the first ship of the InTUItion class. It is also the company's largest vessel, at 333 metres long and 42 metres high. The 19-storey luxury cruise ship can accommodate 3,984 guests and 1,400 crew members. Dedicated to a select clientele, it has fourteen restaurants and 17 bars with a varied gastronomic offer ranging from Asian to Greek cuisine. Zoom Mein Schiff Relax is the first new-build ship in the InTUItion class. Salvador Salas The company said that the new cruise ship responds to the individual needs of passengers with commitment, as the cabins and suites have been designed with the aim of creating better experiences. This is TUI's first ship that offers individual cabins with balconies for people travelling alone. It also promises "world-class entertainment and exciting worlds of adventure". Spa and wellness are redefined, with an exclusive barrel sauna and fantastic sea views. After its launch in Malaga, Mein Schiff Relax will set course for Barcelona and Valencia, before finishing the cruise in Palma de Mallorca. Despite its debut in the capital of Costa del Sol, it will not be a ship that regularly visits the port of Malaga, as its next planned routes will be through the Mediterranean to Civitavecchia (Rome) and Madeira. The question lingers, however: why did Robbie Williams perform in Malaga? The English singer is actually the ambassador of Mein Schiff Relax. Like a true 'godfather', the artist expressed his awe at the concept of the ship This was the fifth cruise ship christening that Malaga's port has hosted, having previously welcomed the super luxury yacht Scenic Eclipse II, Marella Voyager of Marella Cruises, Marella's Discovery 2 and Marella Explorer 2.

  15. Robbie Williams turns the port of Malaga into a stage of pure magicThe international singer landed in the city offering an exclusive show on the occasion of the christening of the Mein Sheiff, the ship of which he is godfather A moment from the concert that Robbie Williams has given in the port of Malaga. / La Opinión Chaima Laghrissi Malaga09 APR 2025 22:17 Malaga Last night he experienced one of those evenings that are marked in the collective memory. Under a starry sky and with the port as a backdrop, Robbie Williams offered a spectacular concert on the occasion of the christening of the luxurious cruise ship Main Schiff, which celebrated its inaugural stopover in the Andalusian city. The British artist, known for both his charisma and his stage power, appeared on stage after 8:30 p.m., with an audience dedicated from the first chord. With a mixture of elegance and self-confidence, Williams greeted in friendly Spanish — "Hola, Málaga!" — and, true to his style, he joked: "I hope you guys are good, because I'm phenomenal," before starting with "Let Me Entertain You," unleashing the euphoria of the attendees. Fun and approachable attitudeFrom the first moment, Robbie displayed a funny, ironic and very close attitude. In a concert full of interaction with the audience, he did not hesitate to joke, sing to beautiful women and dedicate special moments to those who were in the front rows. One of the most emotional moments came with a song he dedicated to Annet, a woman in the audience who was moved by his gesture. From the first moment, Robbie displayed a funny, ironic and very close attitude / L.o. ''Rock DJ''The repertoire was an emotional roller coaster in which there was no shortage of great successes from his career. Songs like "I Love My Life" and "Rock DJ" made the port vibrate, while more intimate moments such as "Better Man", introduced with a nod to his upcoming film of the same name, allowed the singer's vocal sensitivity to be appreciated. "You have seen that wonderful, spectacular and beautiful boat. I hope that in it you can see my movie: Better Man," Robbie exclaimed between songs, as he walked around the stage with his unmistakable style. There was also room for classics such as ''Feel'' and ''She's The One'', the latter dedicated to Tania, another woman in the audience with whom Robbie maintained a funny complicity, despite the fact that she did not want to confess what she worked on. ''Angels''The climax of the night came with "Angels," in which the entire port seemed to sing in unison, before saying goodbye with fireworks and endless cheers.
