专辑介绍

&Rudebox& is a 2006 single by English musician Robbie Williams, from the album of the same name. It is based around a sample from the song &Boops (Here to 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 direction on the song, with The Sun dubbing it the &worst song ever&. Williams responded to the criticism by joking about it, telling an audience at his concert in Leeds on 8 September that the song was &number one... in Germany& and saying it was &made to feel as welcome as a ginger step child&. 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. Williams was quoted in September 2006 as saying that &for a box to be rude, the rude must be in a different box- and that took me a long time to realise&.
