Songs I Love That You Might Hate – Millennium by Robbie Williams
This have been a little too serious around the JUF camp lately, so I thought I would lighten things up a bit and share some songs I love that you probably don’t care for at all. I could be wrong, because I really think these songs are awesome, but I fear most of you will lose what little respect you have for me!
So let’s kick things off with Millennium by Robbie Williams.
I’m a complete sucker for a song with a good groove and strings. Millennium hits on both those marks, so I love it.
Robbie originally got his start in the British pop-band Take That in the early 90′s and then moved on to a solo career around 1996. Millennium was the first single off The Ego Has Landed, Robbie’s first American solo album. This song is a primary example of why Europeans generally have a better taste in music than Americans. Millennium reached number 1 on the pop charts in Britain, but only reached number 72 in the U.S.
How long was Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas at number 1? Point and case.

Agreed. The strings are sampled from the Bond theme “You Only Live Twice”. Hell, the video is Robbie doing his James Bond impression.
Do i see a JUF cover in the future?

This song is nice however the album is spectacular. There is no one that has listened to this album more than me, outside of Robbie. The album has fantastic music. The lyrics are true Robbie, they are full of ego. The album title is perfect. The standout tracks are “She’s the one”and “No regrets” to me. However, the general public would like “Millennium” and “Angels.” However, Jessica Simpson ruined “Angels” for me forever. The album ends with him mumbling something to what would appear to be someone from his childhood. He is basically telling them off at at end of his cd saying “look at me, I am amazing.” The ego has truly landed.
