Robbie Williams - The Only One I Know ('Smokin' Aces')

[MaggieLovesJimmy]

Just heard the beginning of this song on the news and was like, Hey, that song sounds familiar...what is it? Looked it up and landed here. I haven't heard this song for years (got a Mark Ronson CD at the library & listened to it years ago). Absolutely loved it then and STILL love it! :) Going to have to look up more Mark Ronson songs, because he had some damn good songs on that CD...

[Tzefri84]

i cant believe ppl say its not a good cover!!it has that funkiy sound its such a good cover!!!after all they pay respect to the charlatans and they did it great!!u should be proud wtf??

[TheKeeperOfTheSnare]

Holy Shit. Robbie Collins must be spinning in his grave everytime this gets played.

[MrsClippit]

Cool song, never heard it bfore tho. I looked it up only because it was used as a bumper tune on CoastToCoastAM last night.

[hotlips4000isback2]

One of my favourite songs from my teen years BUTCHERED! :(

[christyexclusive]

mark ronson!

[djrogerspy]

o cara tem bom gosto charlatans uk é muito bom

[Bluearmy76]

Murdered.........

[SaltonSeaCoolio]

ELV1S is BETTER

[prenshaw124]

not the best cover at all,

[DiscolaMadkitten]

Robbie Williams and Mark Ronson .... You both become the Best one!

[bohsblur]

Thank god he is gone back to take that.

BOON ARMY... MOOO!

[fat0obob]

really bad cover

[TheOrrville]

Robbie is Robbie, plain and simple...  Me like;)

[bollox21]

bobbins

[ycyenrv]

Una gran versión de un excelente clásico

[XBbongo]

crap cover...Charlatans rule...BOON ARMY

[Angelwilliamsrw]

Robbie does not deserve

comments of contempt

If you do not like this, you see another ....

Robbie will always be the best .....!!!!!!!!

[elvis316]

pretty sure I dont need to see movie after seeing this video. I mean, I never really bought piven anyway, but this video is a spoilerfest.

[stevenadler]

the music is too prominent

[marceloA1313]

COCAINE.

[LaudyBMJ]

If you listen carefully you can hear Rob Collins turning in his grave. This is filth on so many levels

[elvis316]

@LaudyBMJ yes, why bother. who is robbie williams, anyway?

[yougottaloveit100]

fuckin tune i like the original more tho

[bohsblur]

why ruin a classic.? thank jesus he went back to his

boyband.

[soulsaverful]

what a great sound !!!!

[Hewlett1974]

Fuck me, I didn't think I could hate this clown anymore but I've just been proven wrong.

[leonbamford]

@Hewlett1974 is clearly gay and in denial.

[37Satellite]

Has to be my almost- favorite movie ever...

[SpaceMel00]

this song (version) has COWBELL in it! <3

[redjam3]

Shockingly bad, an insult to The Charlatans, in fact an insult to the public in general.

[SpaceMel00]

@redjam3 I like what he did with "hurt before..." harmony-wise and the ricochet drumming though. Not insult in my mind to stand in one place and sway around Charlatans, talented as they were. I think version is better.

[juep76]

markkram...yeah to be fair this track is pretty shit, but has for just being a fat dancer, this man is a legend and has made more money than you,ll ever see, hes a f**king ledgend you sad little man!!!!

[weecoby3]

@juep76 Of course he's earned more money than markkram will ever see. Multitudes of pre-teen girls, married women who aren't gettin' enough and gay men have ensured that this tuneless little fuck now has more money than he could spend in 10 lifetimes. Couldn't hold a note in a fucking bucket.

[iancleggy]

thats this song fucked for me

[markkram76]

oh dear this is what happens when a plastic pop star panics and trys his hardest to make himself feel like he is not a complete plank, get back on the drugs asap you fat dancer from take that and leave the classic songs to the real artists who dont try too hard and just let there anthems speak for themselves,

[squizcarter]

cushys a mug

[jody8526937]

love the original true classic..this is a really great version. Thanks Robbie & Co.

[cushy1974]

Mr Williams..........you over stepped the line with this cover!!!!!! shame on you.....ya cnut!!!!

[ojvyll]

is there a 2nd part of "smokin aces"?

i saw it somewhere

[Gridlock812]

straight to dvd I think. smokin aces 2.

[ojvyll]

thanks, have you seen it. Any good?

[felix8989]

This is a balls cover.

[archieblackpool]

ha ha ha ha i never knew he had done this and what a abortion compared to the charlies! actually i might not mind it as an instrumental.

[charmand79]

@archieblackpool

I agree.. It would be a decent attempt had it been instrumental, but his vocals are unbearably rubbish

[whatachoppa]

As Noel G. kindly put it, Ronson can`t sing, write his own stuff or play the guitar properly. That said, he is a great producer and at least it isn`t a carbon copy cover everybody else seems to be doing these days.

[23blueplane]

Heard this for the first time today in Next!!

I thought the Charlatans had reworked it as I had no idea it was anyone else...quite like it actually....probably closer to the 60s sound the Charlatans were aiming at anyway...but you can't beat the original...

[hotfudgejohnny]

Whilst I agree with most of you that this a poor cover, I have to disagree with ehead2222. This was yet another cover produced by Mark Ronson. and there have been listless artists with very credible covers - not to mention the huge success of 1 Miss Winehouse for her cover of the Zuton's 'Valerie' off the same album (Version)...say no more!

[TOODOO30]

nice

[ehead2222]

what a c*nt how does he not see covers aint worth doing!! fuck sake has he not got the brains to think up some new stuff !!!! this is a shit cover too out of tune junk shame on you !!!!!!!!!!

[anonUK]

I would agree with kmp3000, although I think, as a fellow Brit, this "All Americans are obese" cr*p is getting stupid. Yes, in redneck states or counties, there are millions of people who are fairly vast, but that's not the rule everywhere. What about England- no fatties here, right?

[weltie03]

OmG what a trash!

[marcelomk33]

This version is much better than the original! If you just didn't liked the cover, you have bad musical taste, so shut up.

[oslotis8yourdog]

i think it sounds pretty good i don't know why people have to bitch about it if you don't like the song don't listin

[mullingman]

robbie williams is a fat talentless cunt.

[TimeForTimer]

such a classic

destroyed by this cover

pure.manufactured.garbage.

[attilathefun1]

jesus what a faggot.

[jimbojones383]

Agreed!

[hsiled]

As a North American I totally understand the success of Robbie Williams...it's too bad North Americans don't recognize good talent..

[kmp3000]

cool cover. fuck you, you yankee tosser. go and eat some cheeseburgers you fat twat.

[MKUltra3]

As a North American, I will never understand the fame/success of Robbie Williams. He is a non-singer, irritating in many, many ways, and is usually a part of shit music like this.

This cover is awful. SHITE.

[mullingman]

MKUltra3 knows what he's talking about.

[MorrisonPhoenix]

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaassshhh!!!Brutal!!

[xBusNutter]

1st degree murder

[bboyleftfoot]

Don't know what you guys are whining about. I love this song, even more so than the original. Imagine hearing this in a club.. I would feel like the coolest guy in there =p

[VeganGuerrilla]

Really very good

[extriver]

awesome

[foolsgold78]

Butchering the classics. This is wank

[anthpye]

sorry wtf is that its crap hasnt got a clue this bloke

[art72]

depressing

[andreagoulder]

its grown on me, you've gotta love a bit of funk. as long as everyone knows who wrote it in the first place. although as much as i love tim, robbie might have a slightly better voice...

[emzlina]

they both need to be linched

[pikeman07]

This is just the kind of merciless killing of a good tune that twats like sam ronson thinks its clever to come up with....FUCK OFF YOU TWATS

[pikeman07]

make that Mark Ronson...still a complete and utter fkin twat tho

[rollingtimes]

Agree 100% with your comment. Talk about murdering a great tune!

[theillnesstrucru]

actually it's more like they covered the song in memory of the original thought about it like that u should stop hating something YOU can't change think about it peace

[padrinodepastel]

es la peor version de una buena cancion arde en el infierno

[rapidtightgroup]

Well done,kill a classic,what a tool

[astronaughtee]

VIDEO CAN SELL..

[bohsblur]

give it up williams. your a twat..

[aslongasitlasts]

Not bad cover version :)

[malt888]

robbie william.....the best

[snoozingphil]

I adore the original and this is a bit more funky but shows how the original can still blow this away after all this time

[humza999]

is this is official music video?

[TrinityCTStud]

no, but it is cool.

[junstz]

YAA my favorite song yeahh (rock)

[necuum10]

the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SweetaRoxious]

Great job as usual Rob!! Like it!!

[discott75]

No one is U.S. knows this song or the performer. I love the disco "ish" and funkiness of the music (2:27). Should be an instrumental.

[andyb79]

Not if they agree with the statement. Ronson probably should have left this one alone, in my opinion. He's made a career out of 'reimagining' songs by some of the best loved British bands, so it stands to reason some people are gonna have strong opinions on them.

[bendinggreenvans]

I love it! why do you put down comments like 'you cunt williams' people will just think you're a twat if you write comments like that x

[rodsmfc]

you prick robbie, can you not write any of your own songs?

pathetic

charlatans till i die.

[xps24]

you cunt williams

[xxAxx155]

robbie williams is a fucking twat!!

destoryed a brilliant charlatans song!!

he's nothing compared to the charlatans! haha

[rijeka8]

Robbie is the best;numbers don't lie, just like his numerous fans!!

[ImRWfan]

Robbie is a twat?? why are looking his vids then.. you bellend !

[chemkouv]

which movie is this?

[justplainrichard]

Love the ronson versian but the video sucks - literally - id say this has got to be the saddest track on the Versian album

[myview28]

Listenable.

[rijeka8]

Modern version of a classic!; but why didn't Ronson 'increased' Robbie's voice? I think it would be better.

[Theofish]

Robbie can do it better. This sucks and levels of mixing production are even worse... Certainly not at his best...

[pintofjohnsmiths007]

robbie is the most successful solo artist since Elvis and the most successful Uk artist of all time - fact!!!!!!

[rijeka8]

Amen to that!

[rijeka8]

Amen to that!

[bohsblur]

I wish the fat talentless twat williams

would shut the fuck up! the charlatans piss all over him...

[bohsblur]

this is embarrassing. charlatans should sue

the bastard for murdering a classic...

[kalmendriguez]

why don't you shut the fuck up.

asshole

[tsspng]

i think its an honour for any band someone younger to cover an almost 20 years song!the tune still kicks!a tribute to our youth!!!!maDchester raved on!!!!

[bezhappymondays1972]

Great song, crappy cover, good film.

[Scottydont66]

Original will ALWAYS be the best!

[scarley13]

RObbie is cleary the best people writing crap about him are jealous!!

[sortofsilver]

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible

Thanks for ruining one of the best tunes of my youth.

[offkiltr]

Robbie could come w/an original thought if it jumped up & bit him in the ass

[rijeka8]

Robbie & Mark = great duo.

[tenissabbalas]

this is real good............

[Bing180363]

Mark Ronson is one of the best producer ....and Robbie is simply cool!!!

[sticklemiss]

Unbelievable! Since when was doing cover versions of songs illegal? Anyone would think so reading some of the comments here! People complain about Robbie doing a cover from a band who sounded exactly like the Stone Roses especially the drum break (on the original version. A rip off of Fools Gold) but that fact seems to have bypassed the Robbie haters here!

[SasvimNormalna]

ma najbolji si kralju

[heyvenus123]

Why the fuck is williams allowed to fuck about with top bands songs! its appalling he should stick to his own bollocks or better still retire so we dont have to put up with this shit!

[rijeka8]

F... off! Robbie is the king!!!

[rumalo]

wtf!!! this is just shit, 1000 times better the original

[Tejissa]

totally agree with you, with is a very poor rip off. Thought it was bad when Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse ripped off The Zutons, this is much worse.

Please Please Charlatans rerelease your version when this sad duo release this pile of ****

[majorhangover]

I'm a big of Robbie Williams, however this is just shit, another pointless crap cover, should have left this one to The Charlatans.. I was at Knebworth Saturday, 2nd August, 2003. That was the best show we've ever been! This cover is better that most of the shit on his Rudebox album... come on Robbie you know you can do better than this. Will someone please just shoot Mark Ronson in the face!!!

[ramuniele]

If it is such a shit, why you are searching for it , listening to it and even spending your time to write a comment?! Are you crazy or what?

[shabazzzzzzz]

all i can say is wot the EFF!!! why would you do this to a hell of a song idiots i hate mark ronson and i hate robbie williams liam gallagher should smacked ya wen he had the chance

[maleboxcgn]

Robbie & Mark ....the best !!

[venue44mansfield]

FUCK YOU!!!

[venue44mansfield]

SHITE!!!

[xooh21]

Suena bien con el Maestro Williams, pero me late más esta rola con los Charlatans UK

[lynne3mm]

a luv robbie

[mah1976]

the best!

[dougieharker]

jonnypage u got it spot on

[jonnypage]

Ronson, your a song stealing, limited, techno loser, prick felcher. If Louis B Armstrong was alive today, hed beat you to death with his trumpet. And as for Williams, fuck off to LA and overdose on red bull. Cunts. xx

[pauliepeadetoony]

i feeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll fucking sick!

[pob3000tb]

Blasphemy!!!!!!!!

Its shite!!!!!!

[5OLiCent]

i used 2 b fan ..but now hes a stupid motherfucker..except feel..

[karlledwith]

mark ronson fuck off with ur trumpets, any1 who nos any thing bout music would hate ur terrible trumpet version of just and now this y oh y.CUNT

[pob3000tb]

I agree, Mike Flowers pops did it about 15 years ago!, and made a better attempt at it.

[CoralGollightly]

the only one i know has come to take me away

[whatupdawwg]

wow thats cool./ i really like it

[mojomojo101]

i hate covers

[meizdbezterest]

my arse could do a better cover than this

[fallonski87]

Awesome

[Matthewtracey2004]

its a 'revamp' if u wud call it that,,, by mark ronson

[backintheday69]

WHY ARE PEOPLE GIVING THIS SHIT A HIGH RATING? It's fucking CRAP! Fuck off Robbie you fucking talentless TWAT! Write and sing your own stuff and stop KILLING geat classics! CUNT!

[rudyprotrudy08]

Bloody hell! I sort of agree though. What is Robbie thinking of? Trying to be cool I should think. He shoul have left this classic well alone.

[moxin99]

LOL did he stole this song from the charlatans ?

[Richiesambuka]

haha, is this video some sort of joke? No way would Williams put his name next to something soooooo shite!

[reddyredd]

Robbie Williams can not take any credit for this. It's a fine remake, but it's a freakin' mix. Mick, you did a cool job, RIP, but the four seconds of singing is just a Tom Jones rip-off.

[mcveljo]

Thank you so much 4 uploading this&making it! With parts of the movie&the DVD"The Robbie Williams Show"!! Love it! And for all you negative people out there!You surely must be mostly Americans,sorry! No clue or taste in good music! This song is cool,yes- it is a cover-but its a good cover!!And Robbie has a great voice,charisma,is THE Entertainer,if u have ever seen him life&in interviews,you'd know what I m&the rest of the World,except for N-America is talking &dreaming about!

[ziggynut66]

I think the only people who listen to Robbie Williams are Brits. And this is a Mark Ronson cover that Robbie Williams sings. The credit goes to Mark Ronson. So take your comment about Americans and shove it up your ass. It's apparent that Brits find stupid reasons to hate us. Just because our President is a bad leader, doesnt mean that Americans are bad people.

[mcveljo]

&you are wrong again!!&have no clue!this has nothing2do w/ ur president!!!Its about the music! I m from Germany&Croatia &he is huge everyhere there+a lot of other european countries -as well as Asia&Mexico! So- no: you thought wrong! Brits are not the only people that listen2Robbie!If u would have any idea u would know that Robbie signed THE biggest Record contract in Music history!!...Ever!!Do your research&that is not for some stupid reason!!

[mcveljo]

Part 2: When I was on Vacation in Mexico two times within the last years, the first or second song I heard in the Cab was Robbie!! I was in the cab with my American friends who I always keep telling about Robbie, but also do not know too much about him except for the 2 most known songs here "Millenium" & "Rock DJ" - So when I told them the cab driver responded right away: "What?U don't know RW??!" Needless2say that we would hear him there all of the time!So u shove ur comment..!

[mimblewimble12]

i think it sounds pretty good actually

ronson is really good at what he does :)

[jaseywasey49]

Fair play to Robbie for having a go at it, it's obviously a song he has grown up and loves. But it doesn't work, that's not only down to Robbie think the whole musical arrangement sounds lame.

[Hotlips4000]

Yeah i agree with you!

I love the charlatan's original version,...one of my favourite tunes of all time and this take on a classoc is a big disappointment!

It's been completely buchard to death,...should of left it the way the original was,cause that's the best tune ever!

[jaseywasey49]

It has i love everything bout The Charlatans song. The organ, the vocals, maybe Williams shud have left well alone. But like i said i feel sorry for him being constantly slagged off for it. He attempted it, it didn't work move on.

[mdcfdq]

fuck off williams leave to the charlies

[backintheday69]

sorry robbie, that was CRAP! you can't sing mate. go back to take that!

[einadh]

How to kill the perfect song...

[MrsRW]

hahaha

old song;)

[mykeyd]

i have no words to describe just how bad this is! he has murdered one of the best tunes ever written. He destroyed Sly And Robbie's 'Boops' aswell. Is there no end to this mans talentlessness. he should do us all a favour and wrap in ten years ago.

[mcveljo]

blahblah!!! you have no clue!! Just read my comment down here as well!! You guys are all just jealous!! You re probably some ugly stupid guy who has no taste! He is still rockin &rolling and making money you could not even dream of!! & almost every 3rd chick in the world wants 2 b with him!! Jealous, jealous, jealous....!

[darapperr]

Robbie Williams is a genius

[AppleSteffi]

I totally agree with that...

[modsheff1]

i wish everybodies mind could be erased of the memory of this cunt.

[budge1611]

its not a bad tune, could have found someone else to sing though as Robbie really can't sing, maybe noddy or POB could have done a better job...... ha ha ha

[cjbcastillo]

i love this great job!!!

[stefanel19852]

i think its nice and different..i prefer the original though

[cousinjunebug]

Whoah whoah peoples! You're acting like somebody just called your wife a fat bitch and gave her a backhander across the face to put her in her place.

It's only a song...

(which I happen to like, along with the rest of the Mark Ronson album)

[gimsan]

Well said.

[lovelightsfan]

I like it:)

[Madchester89]

What the hell is fat dancer doing now. I agree with 99% of the comments. This is bloody awful. That said Robbie is shite.

[elephantstone67]

my god... I love charlantas and got nearly aal his singles ands LPs and this is the most shit nd way to ruin one of the most great amazing Neo Pyshcedelic pop tunes ever...Is a tremennding super shit...holy shit that song shpould not be covered...its imposible to do it better...and he totally RUINS it. stupid!!

[Hotlips4000]

Yeah it has been totally rubbished by Robbie and Ronson,they should of left it alone cause it was 100% brilliant before they killed it!

[manctys]

this is shit..y take a good song and make it shit?

[GAZZA251170]

The only one I know who could ruin a great song,the only one I know who ruined his career with rudebox,the only one I know who supports Port Vale fc!!!
