Robbie Williams - Covers

Every once in a while, Robbie Williams throws a cover onto one of his singles. Some are good some, not so good. Though the b-sides he writes himself are where one can see how good a sing writer the pop star actually is, the covers are a glimpse into the influences he grew up with.

As a kid growing up with a lounge act dad, 'Every time' was Robbie's chance to get up on stage and show off. It is a lovely rendition. The other covers are a hit or miss. While 'Kooks' has its charm, 'Ant music' wears thin.

MP3s:
'There are bad times just around the corner' - Noel Coward cover.
'Ant music' Adam Ant cover.
'Every time' Cole Porter cover.
'Kooks' David Bowie cover.
