He wants Candy

Robbie Williams is at his best when he's being ridiculous. Rock DJ - ridiculous. Let Me Entertain You - ridiculous. Hunting UFOs in his back garden - ridiculous.

You will be pleased to hear, therefore, that his new single is nutso batshit bonkers. Candy is its name, and it contains such lyrical gems as:

:: "She's got a hurricane at the back of her throat"
:: "She's got lots of horses from lots of different men"
:: "Her father beat the system by moving bricks to Brixton and learning how to fix'em"

It's utterly barking, but in a very endearing way - even if it occasionally strays into Olly Murs territory.

The video is like a live-action Looney Tunes short, with Robbie the Wile E Coyote to a femme fatale Road Runner. He gets set on fire! He gets hit by a car! He punches a granny!

Like I said, utterly ridiculous.

Robbie Williams - Candy

Welcome back, silly pop star Robbie. We missed you.
