Rudebox

About Rudebox

"Rudebox" is song by English musician Robbie Williams, from his seventh studio album of the same name (2006). It is based on a sample from the song "Boops (Here We Go)" by Sly and Robbie. The single was released on 4 September 2006, although download purchases allowed it to reach number 30 on the UK Singles Chart on 3 September. After the release of the CD single, it ascended 26 places to number 4, selling 24,821 copies, beaten by Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland's "Promiscuous", Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" and Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'". Although the single charted relatively high, Williams was mocked by sections of the tabloid press, who said the single was a failure due to his radical change in musical direction, with The Sun dubbing it the "worst song ever". Williams responded to the criticism by joking about it. He eventually told, at one of his concerts in Leeds, about the success of the single in Germany. The track was also nominated for the 2006 Ivor Novello Award. In the song Williams makes several cultural references including Adidas, T. K. Maxx (in a joke about product placement, "T. K. Maxx costs less!"), Michael Jackson, Durex condoms, The Matrix and Mandrex. more »

Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox

Okay then back to basics
Grab your shell toes and your fat laces
A little hand clap for some funk faces
And make your body move in the following places

Goes up your back and then down your spine
And when it hits your head

Okay then back to baseheads
Dance like you just won at the special Olympics
I got the rudebox of the back of a spaceship
So sick I just had to take it

The R.U.D.E.B.O.X.
Up yer jacksy, split yer kicks
Sing a song of Semtex
Pocket full of Durex, body full of Mandrex

Are we gonna have sex
Will you wear your knee socks, back to the rudebox

Got this double fantasy where we just never stop
I got one design and that's to funk you to the top
Know what's on my mind there's only one thing you will find
I got one design and that's to bump you 'til you drop

Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty

Okay then back to spaceship
Take both pills f*ck the Matrix
Jack those jills shake your Playtex
Rock 3 stripes not the asics

A.D.I.D.A.S
Old school 'cause it's the best, yes
TK max cost less, yes
Jackson looks a mess bless

Okay then what to do
If you try to jack me I'll rudebox you
If you rudebox me I'll rudebox your whole crew
'Cause it's what I do ain't that right boo, true

I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border
'cause the sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this, you did it like that
I love it when you double clap clap

Got this double fantasy where we just never stop
I got one design and that's to funk you to the top
Know what's on my mind there's only one thing you will find
I got one design and that's to bump you 'til you drop

Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty

Okay then check the tan line
Make your body shape like you're stood on a landmine
Call me on my mobile not the landline
And the jack the mainline at the same time

Okay this is what we do
Got a jam so fresh it's nice for you
Okay give it what you got
And dial 808 for the bass to drop

Okay then what's the fracas
Grab your cardy your lead hat and your bus pass
You don't sweat much for a fat lass
Grab your rudebox 'cause your box is righteous

Okay bum rush the show
I got high speed dubbing on my stereo
And all the tunes in the box are the cherrio
I know I told you before, did you hear me though?

Got this double fantasy where we just never stop
I got one design and that's to funk you to the top
Know what's on my mind there's only one thing you will find
I got one design and that's to bump you 'til you drop

Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty
Rudebox, do the rudebox, 'cause you so nasty
Rudebox, shake your rudebox, why you so nasty

Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
Do the rudebox, shake your rudebox
