Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You

Let Me Entertain You (Official Music Video)
This now-traditional high energy curtain raiser for Robbie's live performances was the fifth and final single from 'Life Thru A Lens', released in March 1998 it entered the UK Top 40 at No. 3. Those live events include the 1999 BRIT Awards (where Robbie went home with trophies for Best British Male Solo Artist, Single Of The Year and Video Of The Year), the Live 8 concert held at Hyde Park, London in 2005, and at Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Concert in 2012.
In a poll conducted for the mental health charity Mind, 'Let Me Entertain You' was judged to be one of the top three songs for inducing a feeling of happiness.
For the promo video, Robbie chose to work with director Vaughan Arnell again. Filmed at The Roundhouse in Camden, north London it saw Robbie don a tight latex catsuit and facepaint inspired by American Rock band Kiss.

The fact that Robbie tried to do an "Ozzy" in the few first seconds by making it look he was gonna bite the Dove's head off and dressed throughtout the rest of the video like he wants to be in KISS kinda earns my respect as a Metalhead! Fair play Robbie, Fair play

[@HedeccaTamer]

Look, I've been into rock and metal my whole life, was raised on Prince, Nirvana, Green Day, Busted, Iron Maiden, all sides of rock So, as a lifelong Rock fan, I think I'm allowed to say that this is a Rock classic

[@peterpaterna]

no

[@adrianaraujo6593]

this is pop I guess

[@Ratlover4512]

This would work very well as a rock song! Nirvana, Green Day and Iron Maiden are Rock, Busted are kind of Rock like the Offspring now but when Busted first came out they watered down and to some were known as one of the Boybands with Guitars like Mcfly, who were a little bit heavyish for a bit with songs like "Here's another song for the Radio" later on Busted were rocking out their hits like What I Go To School For and other songs like The Offspring in Comparison when they first came out, proving what great Rock songs they made, even though the songs were watered down at first to appeal to 13 and under Teenage Girls but were still the kind of tunes and songs that worked as Rock songs and Appeal to Adults to, certain songs by Robbie Williams such as this work Awesome as Rock and are kind of Middle of the Road meets Rock meets Pop and this is has more Rock Edge then Busted when they first came out, and Busted got more Edgy in 2016 when they got back together! :~)

[@matocian_empire8]

@@adrianaraujo6593 "this is pop I guess" so were the Beatles, led zeppelin, acdc, van Halen, Bon Jovi and black Sabbath. Biggest rock icons I could think of🤷‍♂️

[@regandonohue3899]

@@matocian_empire8 Just to add on the Rolling Stones, very pop and very much rock. Pop music is whatever was POPular at the time. Quite frankly it's a meaningfully meaningless term.

[@doctorwhat3683]

The fact it can sound so 70s and yet so late-90s at the same time is a testament to how good of a song it is. That huge drum track has a great dance pulse to it, the mad brass popping off everywhere, stabby keys, big guitar strikes. It’s like the best parts of glam rock and 90s Madchester were combined in a lab and just distilled to make a damn great four minutes of pop music.

[@jordansupport1923]

@doctorwhat The brass, of course! Listening to old 70s tracks (esp KC & The Sunshine Band) brass was riddled through 70s music. A couple of New Romantic bands had a bit of sax (Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran) but screaming trumpets disappeared by the 80s. It's the magic ingredient in Let Me Entertain You ... well, that and the frantic pace it sets.

[@Ragnarok_494]

Chord progression is the same as Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones, might explain the old-time feel. 90s sounded new but looking back a lot of their music was taking older styles from the 70s and 60s like reggae and funk and modernising it with digital sound. After the synth-heavy eighties it certainly sounded like a breath of fresh air

[@thomaslacornette1282]

Guy Chambers was really good compositer, Robbie is not only talented the songs are just very good in themselves.

[@YasaswiGomes]

Very few ppl understand synchronizing. All the others became buskers who dont know that and ppl became rock stars who know that. The biggest deal is not to play the same scrap, but be different!!

[@borisnahalka3027]

why sound of 70s? because it is a J.CH.S. song with a different make up. and a different chorus. just listen to it and you could be singing: "every time I look at you I don't understand..." And I don't think it is a coincident, it is very deliberate.

[@mandyschmidt7960]

How this wasn't the first song on the album and the first single is absolutely beyond me... this song (and so many others of his) is perfection

[@ExaltedwithFail]

save the best for last i guess?

[@jezza10181]

it always reminded me of The Who :)

[@kittykat8905]

By far Robbie's best single...In my opinion. I remember thinking how cool he was whenever I heard his songs and saw his videos as a kid and 15 years later, at 23 years old, I still bloody love him. X]

[@ruddyy123]

Came outta nowhere. 97 I believe ? I was starting tear 7(high school) this song was everywhere. The teachers had it in during induction days. That’s why it sticks in my head haha.

I remember dancing without a care in the world to this song while I was at primary school - my teacher would play music while we ate our lunch waiting for the bell to ring so we could go into the playground to play. (I was roughly 10 years old), it's definitely been a while since I've heard it. Still a great song! I turned 29 last week, and still love this song!

[@jordansupport1923]

The true measure is if you're still dancing to it without a care at 60. Hahahah

[@warrax111]

ok, yoomer.

[@barrylongden7]

I've always felt that Kiss did this song first but it appears that they didn't. Maybe I've experienced a glitch in the the 'Matrix'? I'm a 50 something and I still like this song a lot. Maybe my meds need increasing? 😂

[@Halucynating]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how bold this video was for the 90s?! Only Robbie could have made this!

[@trav8787]

I'd disagree. It's basically Kiss - I was made for loving you. You could also add some queen in there for the theatrics.

[@Dee8Bee]

LOL! Maybe you should watch some videos from the 70s and 80s....... if you don't know where or what, like the previous comment said; KISS and Queen. I would also recommend David Bowie

[@Grisha...]

Strongly disagree with your answer bro. For this to be "bold" it would have been before 1950.

[@ninetynice99]

It might be his original idea, or J. Butt gave him some options and he choose this one.

[@adamweglarczyk]

Robbie has one of the best music videos on the world. Whenever he finds a topic to his clip, he becomes the person he plays in 100%. Of course always adding a piece from himself usually as a joke. This video is based on Kiss band but Robbie's dance is modern and don't remind moves from 70's or 80's. Thats the joke and thats the fun. I'm not his fan as an musician but always appreciate his music videos. They are simply complete to me. Now I understand that bunch of guys inside of him :)

[@joho5955]

Firestarter by The Prodigy came out about 2 years before this. Definitely a hint of Keith Flint in Robbies moves.
