Robbie Williams - Lola (COVER)!!

[hkre60]

Hey R. Davis, esq. thinks he is a better songwriter than Lennon- Mac and Jagger-Rich combined. Poor guy is apparently tragically under-appreciated. At least Robbie don' come across like that?

[hkre60]

Come on, don't slag the boy off! We all fall for his glint, he can't belt it, perhaps, but he sings with plenty guts, and more charm than is good for him...

[Macgilleanders]

This sort of thing should be illegal.

[TheGeorgestar]

i dont mind it i dont hate it but i prefer the kinks insted

[Jackupnow]

WHAT'S ROBBIE DOING. THESE. DAYS. ?

[narasatz]

no feeling at all!!! that's not robbie sounds like he turned on a good boy singing nice songs if you know what i mean!!

[mashugac]

He's tryin, at least!

[TimHaywood]

Love all versions of this song, so stop the hating :)

[HyuugaNozomi]

dickkkkk... You just ruined this song...Robbie's voice don't hit the notes of the original.

I could sing the song better.. And I can not sing. < .< ...

[KaiserZosa069]

u fkin useless fuckin idiot u av ruined my favourite song

[20murguero]

que poca madre

odio a este idiota

quien se cree para echar a peredr esta cancion

[20murguero]

i hate this cover

[TheHornetzBand]

Epic

[ladycabadon]

I love this cover

[Synthematix]

if these people today are so called "artists" why do they have to keep copying music from over 30 years ago

[Nosecretstobetold]

exelent

[Harishithead]

wanker

[MMRJL]

good, but takes Ray's voice to show why there is the singer and this songwriter

[FredricEric]

Even better than the Kinks.

[Zwaaretulp]

I think he did a good job, Its just a honour for him to sing him and apperently he likes it and many others too. =)

[Isabel5812]

Robbie's great, but there's something in Ray's voice-lazy, seductive, that makes all the difference.

[davidcravena]

Fkn great effort, doing this song in 2 weeks for a charity night and shitting maself.....if I can do a job like that I'll be well pleased!!

[eirh]

i think he did a good job

[neilapam]

ugh.... the original is so much better

[the50120]

very good cover ,robbie made a good job

[frootylexia]

GAY

[ridingman1]

This makes him a bit more sympathic, which actually doesn't mean anything...

[Baiano2007]

not bad mr. williams

[58mariamar]

;-)....



[maciekGMP40]

Kinks has the best version, but that is good :)

[oianyonghaseyo]

Didn't Justin Bieber do the original of this? His version was way better. No offense dude.

[FetaCheese222]

@oianyonghaseyo No, your thinking of Blowin' In The Way.

[MickyJDHubiHarvey]

@oianyonghaseyo Lol... That´s ironic, isn´t it?!

[555pontifex]

@oianyonghaseyo I think... I think... I think I'm going to throw up... I.... eeeeuuuurrrggggghhhhhhhh! No, sonny. It wasn't Bieber, it's a song written by a MUSICIAN. His name is Ray Davies, and the band is called 'The Kinks'. They wrote it in the early 1970s, looooooong before you were born.

[SheepThatBleep]

the bands excellent 

[hodah]

crap.

[ironcow64]

2:11- omg take that hate me :O

[maitt008]

I think is a great cover version, shows the all-time potential it have.

[kiikat]

I really like this version !

Compared to the original, obviously Robbie's isn't better, but that doesn't make this version bad!

[lorax121323]

Just the name by itself reminds me of the book 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov.

[aprilleia]

my 4 year old daughter did a better cover than this!

[rudeEMOboi]

typical r.w. ... a sucking song.. even if he covered a great unreachable song... well that could have been the problem from the beginning

[ottoledzeppelin]

clown

[9010234335]

Robbie "THE KING OF POP" Williams

[TheGeneLightShow]

he probaly has no idea ITS ABOUT A TRANNY LOL

[Eyriemw]

@TheGeneLightShow I am pretty sure he is damn aware of that.

[MrRedcap999]

it's an ok cover

[driverx111]

good cover, i like it

[ryanzeelee]

Always thought someone wud make a great cover of this classic,, But no-one ever

has...and certainly not Robbie Williams!!!

[mrpentium]

@ryanzeelee Check out mike masse youtube cover. It's good

[kaydak77]

I love it! Loved the original also. LOVE Robbie!

[zolis2x]

Weird al would have sung the original better. It's an ironic song.

[black4pienus]

original cover? lol!

[hpribot]

He looks like he sings this song.

[mango8613]

I don't understand why people cover songs like Lola

[blackicebill96]

awful cover of a great song

[masterj904]

not feelin it. over produced.

[flyway14]

i love it!

[Surferbro1994]

shitty remake, not worthy of the original!

[fcsg1234]

@Surferbro1994 LOL AHHHHHHHHH!

[Sydney83]

Not a bad song, but it has nothing of the original song (wich is much better!)

[jojo7]

gay

[kolporter7]

you are gey.lol

[OpocornLover1]

possibly the worst cover ever

im going to the hospital since my ears are now bleeding

[ProfessorJukes]

By the way, who the hell is Robbie Williams?

[StatusQOnl]

Big European Star!

He has amasing songs and voice,, it's just not coming forward in this one ^^

[ProfessorJukes]

This is pretty wretched. Has none of the charm of the original, and adds nothing of his own. His voice isn't that bad, but doesn't do much, and it's definitely missing the harmony vocals The Kinks showcased.

Bottom line: Why bother?

[xmelovesmex]

Because it was for charity and for Radio One'ssixtieth birthday. And he made it his own. That's why he bothered. No-one cares about your opinion, really.

[ProfessorJukes]

And yet, you cared to reply. I'm touched.

[xmelovesmex]

If you don't like the song, don't comment. Simple. No-one here really cares about what you think. And yes, I did care to reply because you were annoying me.

[BalletTwirl]

Shoot, Robbie, NICE cover!!!!

Jeanne

[glaucocapitano]

nice cover!

[Schoriiee]

lovee robbiee !!

[HeroinForever]

who the fuck is Robbie Williams and why should I care?

........

........

Pretty decent cover.

[ap0lonia]

not, pls, come to spain robbie

[Jenn84x]

Ray Davies Killed himself when he heard this just so he could roll over in his grave!!

[Niall01656]

robbie williams sucks ass

[madmad5000]

nice to do some covers .. like. this one.. youger people could hear real lirics :P

[stephen732]

yeah, lyrics were great back then

[toetagjeee]

still grat.

[kingangelbiddy]

nobody ever does anythin original  anymore

[kingangelbiddy]

i hate when people do covers of songs

[swiand8c2]

well i hate when people complaing about videos and not just leaving

[kingangelbiddy]

what do you mean ?

[Tompabej]

Does anyone know where this song comes from. Name of the album which this song is in?

[kingangelbiddy]

the kinks . the alblums name is Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One. okay

[SAMhtid90]

what a load of shit i dont really have more then that to say....SHIT

[abomannenyao]

do something better you're self, fucking arse

[bm4l77]

WHERES THE FUNKY ELECTRIC GUITAR PART? wow. totally left out one of my favorite parts in the song.

[ilyRichardHammond]

<3 thx

[SimOnciulina29]

Robert sei la vita mia!

[WWEAGT07]

who is this guy a christian rock singer ha ha

[evaboon1980]

lol haha, love Robbie

[elvis1231]

dreadful

[zyanvertizm]

I miss him...

Great cover!

[nannynobnobs]

it just clicked my cousin look lyk robbie williams wt a fuckin divvy eh?

[logicotractatus]

And I am, I'm a man, and so is Lola.

Pretty straightforward

[MsSherylHolmes]

Actually... SLIGHTLY ambiguous. The lyric is

"I'm glad I'm a man

And so's Lola."

So, it could be read as "Lola is also glad I'm a man." See, that was when lyrics showed some subtlety. Now, what's popular is either blatant or indecipherable.

[xmelovesmex]

The song is about a transfestite, and it's been confirmed.

[ProfessorJukes]

Actually, it suggests that Lola is transvestite.

Trans- change

Vest - clothing

See?

What a transfestite is I have no idea.

[xmelovesmex]

Sorry, I'm not familliar with spelling a word that doesn't really appear in my vocabulary often. And if you can't read phonetically something that you obviously know is spelt wrong, you need help.

[Delphine231]

To bad Lola was a guy Oo

but lovely story thew...

[Minxii]

You just figured that out, Sherlock?

LOL! Sorry, no offence.. I just get a kick when people think they're the only one who knows that :)

[sfadropout87]

@Minxii Good answer ! I know a man living this life with LOLA,,,but he thought she was a woman ! Soo, they have support groups now for guys like him ! sad but true!

[IZRD]

Most under-rated Robbie Williams song is

JESUS IN A CAMPERVAN

on the album life thru a lens, can't find it anywhere though

[vlamingkop]

Cool video!

[tegrenath]

hahaha, has anyone here actually heard ray davies? i'm a huge kinks fan and actually don't know much about williams, but criticizing his vocal abilities should be your last complaint if you don't like this cover. the kinks' frontman was NOT a trained singer by any stretch of the imagination.

although i obviously prefer the original version, it's easily arguable that williams is a much better singer than davies from a technical standpoint. say that you prefer the raw rocker sound or something

[ceyrob]

cool video great pics ;)

[Paolo250376]

It's not a great cover, cause if you wanna do it right you must be a singer first of all. Williams is not I think. He is a video star not a musicians. Do you remember the song "video killed the radio star"?

[LordSputnik]

He's a more famous singer than you :P

[Paolo250376]

I think you didn't get the meaning. He's better than me, cause there's nobody worse than me. :-) He is just a sexsimbol for those like him. Anyway I think he could be a goo thing: A COCAINE PUSHER! That's his job.

[ManicMusicdude101]

Agreed Paolo, this is better than most though.

[BlondBlueSmartTrue90]

Let him be! yes, it's not a good cover...

however HE is the best! ;-P

[westfalianalien]

One can't say, Mr. Williams couldn't sing. But what's the use of a cover that's so close to the original?

[ubuh]

dont be harsh it was shit.....it was absoulute bollocks could possibly be one of the worst covers ever !!! fuck you robbie you suck

[carlyg1983]

Have a day off Nobbie Williams, wrecked a classic you fat pissed up tw8t.

[br8kurface]

god this is a bad singer (he cant even come up with his own songs so he just remake the classics)

[taylor387]

lol remake the classics? he's had loads of original hits??? wat are u on about?

[jceytheeniea]

everybody can think another way .

[iloveasmoke]

fucking right dude...

[bendubz1]

@JonasLover285 i agree though i have nothing agaist him

[mcmoejoe]

@JonasLover285 jear i thnik the same....

[jceytheeniea]

heyy heyy im sorry if i broken your heart.

just maybe if you check , got so many videos bout LOLA on youtube. some of them recorded another machine . so it was WAW . but my video is mp3 allright ? do you understand ? if i couldnt tell that im sorry my english is enough.

In short : Im sorry

[zebramans]

booooo!

[mikebgood08]

Robbie Williams is a faggot and this version sucks ass. The Kinks are better

[OropherThranduil]

yeah kinks RULE totally!!!!

[absolute0kimi0fan]

yeah, right...the kinks suck... the guy who sings look like transvestite. maybe he wrote a song about him/herself...

robbie is a king!!! okay? if you don't like him, don't post anything. no offence, but it's not ok what you've written... robbie sung this perfectly, and his voice is better than anyone's in kinks...

[OropherThranduil]

no he didn't you little fag,

it was wrote by ray davies in 1970.

and robby williams version sucks and sounds gay.

[brilliantfranz]

Are u twat?

Or are u just incredible high?

[9010234335]

Robbie "THE KING OF POP" Williams

[Ralee65]

false

[iLoveMusic995]

get over it, this isnt as good as ray davies, but that cause it not original

[OropherThranduil]

no, it#s not as good as the original because it sucks major dick.

[000aloush000]

wtf, why is every1 hating robbie? he's fucked up now but you can't just forget feel and angels - one of the best and influencial artists of the last 20 years

[hannahsdad73]

for god's sake, i know ray davies is not dead!! It's just a half-bake like this clown singing this saddens me. sorry if i offended anyone.

[1vtt]

VTF "hannahdad" ray davies still going strong, you are dead

[neilpark]

Read what the guy said - he didnt even say Ray Davies was dead. You are a pie and Robbie Williams is a big fat poof!

[Staerke1]

the title of this clip is a bit misguiding ( Original ) ... have you ever heard of "The Kinks" ???

[JoeWoodhead999]

What an idiot... you cant just copy a song.

Ray Davies would have "given permission" Why do people always moan on youtube?!

[hannahsdad73]

if ray davies were dead he'd turn in his grave

[LawrenceBarclay]

he would have more money if he did more songs like this, if only it wasnt stole from the kinks :(

[AilsaW1]

Robbie Williams only Sung Lola for the Album radio 1 established. its where recent singers do old songs ;)

[8910234335]

Robbie Williams is one of the best singers in the world. Pop musics Biggest Performer

[neilpark]

Robbie Williams is SHITE!

[cornelsier]

Fucking stupid gay, how dare you to cover a song from The Kinks

[THEKINKS08]

fottiti idiota

[altairrules121]

The kinks are WAAAAY better than this piece of crap. P.S This is not the original

[wallyofjericho]

i think u'll find micheal jackson has that title :P. an this version is no where near as good as the kinks original. go the Kninks!!!

[9010234335]

Robbie "THE KING OF POP" Williams

[BearsysRevenge]

Hell no.

Plain and simple.

Hell. The. Fuck. No

[flensber]

this is not original lol noob

[buzeli]

@bubu !!! will nur dich :-*

[9010234335]

Robbie "THE KING OF POP" Williams

[Bubu757]

lola or lotte,j.c.?

[boydegg]

Robbie is a modern day Elvis Presley.

[Richiebox80]

This was just for a radio cover show? It's a fuckin good version. Sounds like an album track.

[guenther48]

doe's he have a hearing aid? that wire from his ear looks like one

[Kinksforever]

kinks much much much much beeeeeeettttttteeeeer but not  bad cover

[ImRWfan]

This song is covered for BBC Radio 1's 40th birthday. All artists (Brit) like Kylie Minogue , Girls Aloud, lilly Allen, Amy Winehouse, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Mark Ronson, Foo Fighters, The Feeling and Robbie Williams covered old songs "40 Covers For 40 Years of BBC Radio 1"

[8910234335]

Robbie "THE KING OF POP" Williams

[anooseholay]

I don't know anything about Robbie Williams but I would bet a dollar the guy gets more ass than a toilet seat.

[FORESTDONS]

Robbie did ok but you cant compare the legendary kinks with this version.

[diamond1buttercup]

LOVED IT!ITS MEANT TO BE SANG BY ROB!

[bobobob94]

he's a right dick aint he

[Bound4War]

robbie williams does so many covers

[riprose]

HOT :}

[CloudStrife5671]

The thing about covers is that they never are as good as the original. People tend to expect the original, and are inevitably disappointed. Not to say it isn't good, just try to look at it without thinking about the original.

[richikay]

You know, I don't know who this robby williams dude is, but it's not such bad cover.

[ebergswe]

original? you stupid? this is a really crappy version aswell....

[cenafag2]

i think you done a good job jay well done this song is fuken awsome!!!!
