  • When did this happen? Anyone know the background to this? Did it get released as a b-side or something?

  • I don't understand what's so fucking horrible about this cover? 

  • Even Mr. RW can't ruin this song... :-OOOOOOO

  • This is fookin' horrible

  • Does this even need to be posted? I'm sure even Williams will readily admit that this is shit, he has made some half decent records in the past after all.

  • I love it.

  • This is murder of a good song

  • Talk about killing a good song...yuk!!

  • i'm not opposed to covers, or robbie williams, this just sucks. his voice really doesn't suit the song :/

  • An outrage.

  • damn, why exist this?

  • There's no such thing as British Steel anymore, that's why the reference was changed. It'd be better if he'd played it straight, though.

  • he has his future in "a fist of steel"? thats BRITISH stell robbie. at least listen to a song properly if youre going to decide to do a shitty cover version

  • Weak.

  • What an absolute tosser. His voice is completely wrong for the song.

    Fuck. Just fuck.

  • Oh god I don't know how to feel about this.

  • sing it like a r true PLEB robbie

  • ROFL, this is so rubbish! way to kill a great XTC song.

  • oh my god , so bad. no doubt the kids will think its his, unbeknown to better times. and the blue eyes wonder boy will take the credit. and err..what happened to 'British steel'? a no no lyric in the contract with American record labels? what a sell out.

  • ew

  • On a scale of one to crap, Robbie has aced it.

    A masterclass in how NOT to tackle a classic.

  • this is awful

  • could robbie get more random?

  • Bring on Primus's version.

  • shit

  • shite

  • When did this happen?

  • @AshmanGT: I was curious as well. Was on CD2 of the single for "Old Before I Die" (Chrysalis / CDCHS 5055)

  • Robbie should stick to his own rubbish. Leave the good stuff for proper musicians.

  • do XTC know of this! not good.

  • as long as nigels happy thats all that matters

  • @thebatstrikesback Even in the knowledge a talentless sell out fuck ruined the song, this version now being void of any meaning.
