Oh no, here's another CD that's an embarrassment to admit to owning! This was the song that launched Robbie Williams career as a solo artist and has been overused in advertisements and opening ceremonies ever since...
I think we can all agree that the title track is musically an overblown, plastic cheese-fest. I'm impressed, though, at the risque lyrics scattered throughout (especially the final verse), for a song that has been played in every possible setting, including for the Queen.
The most notable B-side is a live rendition in Manchester of Back For Good, where Robbie (partly intentionally) murders the chorus. I quite like the original of this song, and the ham-fisted "twist" gives me very immature enjoyment somehow!
The Amethyst's Dub dance remix seems like a decent club song, ironically except for the bits where the title track is sampled.
