YouTube Clip Of The Day

For absolutely no reason the other day, I began remembering a happier time when Robbie Williams ruled the world with his swingin’ Bi-Lo Sinatra style, gazillion pound record deals, and a happy and productive relationship with songwriting partner Guy Chambers.

And then I remembered the original song the pair wrote for Robbie’s insanely successful ‘Swing When You’re Winning’ record called ‘I Will Talk And Hollywood Will Listen’.

And I recalled those stirring words in the chorus I will talk and Hollywood will listen/See them bow at my every word and how, for a brief moment, it seemed almost possible that Robbie could take his hugely successful schtick and actually make it in the notoriously difficult US music scene.

Things didn’t quite work out that way though, did they?
