#robbie williams rock dj

[secretagentsagainstwhatever]

I truly believe no one knows Rock DJ by Robbie Williams the way i know Rock DJ by Robbie Williams, my mastermind subject would be Rock DJ by Robbie Williams, Rock DJ by Robbie Williams could wake me from a coma

[leotanaka]

your introduction to robbie williams 'rock dj' was that fantastic musical sequence from better man (2024). my introduction to robbie williams 'rock dj' was that music video from 2000 where he rips the skin and flesh off his whole body until he's just a skeleton. we are not the same.

The Better Man movie has me thinking about the Rock DJ music Video in a new light

I always just assumed the video was a joke and/or deliberately controversial, but given the themes shown in Better Man about Robbie and his relationship to fame and performing around the time the video was made, I can't help but reframe it through the films lens

Starting with singing and dancing to get the crowd's attention, then stripping his shirt off, his pants, even the underwear until he is completely exposed and when that still doesn't work the only thing left to strip off is his very skin, and then literally tearing himself apart to get attention, to be entertaining and worth looking at...

Then they all want a piece of him (again literally depicting the metaphor) until there's nothing recognisably him left, the very end as the song fades out even has him stop dancing and looking down at his hand dejectedly

(I know it's a crowd of girls so it could be read more as what you're willing to do to get a girl, but a crowd is still a crowd)

I might be thinking too much about this but a) that video scarred me as a child and b) just because the song is a party song doesn't mean the video can't have artistic merit

Needy for Silly

I needed something absurd and silly to counter the terrible reality of this Hellish landscape of a world. So, "Rock DJ" by Robbie Williams's self made biopic where he voices himself as a CGI monkey. Yes!

“Who cares if YOU love it? What matters is if OTHER people love you doing it.” Better Man

“I came out of the womb with jazz hands.” – Robbie Williams It’s a surreal feeling to have a movie theater all to oneself. And yet strangely befitting a beautiful fever dream of a celebrity biopic like Better Man. Of course, it probably doesn’t help that I saw this at lunchtime on a bitterly cold Tuesday in January. Nonetheless, I feel like I’m the only person in America who is a super fan of…
