Sander van Doorn vs Robbie Williams - “Close My Eyes” Amazingly, not his real name, you know. Its actually Sander Ketelaars and this bizarre dance cake mix combines thumpy thumpy beaty bass stuff with Robbie Williams’ cover of New York producer My Robot Friend’s “We’re The Pet Shop Boys” as done for his 2006 half excellent / half kill-yourself-weak LP “Rudebox“. Of course, the best version of said song was done in fact by the Pets themselves, who produced the initial Williams’ version sampled here. Its all very confusing for us old people…
Dan : Slo-mo laydees in the video! Are they going to gyrate ?
Tim : “Then I feel you touch me and it’s 1984″? Hope you enjoy yourself there. There’s this programme on called Threads…
Tiff : Why is it 1984? What relevance does this have?
Ben : Its because he’s the Pet Shop Boys who were, um…not very successful in 1984. And if it was 1985, it’d be a Bowling for Soup record
Dan : I love the Robbie Williams Pet Shop Boys track but then I would. I also love My Robot Friend (not my real friend) because he/she/it did a song with Antony of ‘& The Johnsons’ once.
Tiff : I made noise like this in music lessons with back beat buttons on casio keyboard
Dan : This sounds like one for the gays in their gay clubs. They would like to dance to this.
Ben : Why are all dance videos Sl-o-o-o-o-o-w?
Phil : Because they anticipate the people watching them to be on “ver drugz”
Ben : But I done that once and I dont see anyone being sick behind some bins anywhere
Dan : Phew. Finished!
