Dizzee and Robbie and their mobility scooters
Hands up who saw this coming? Robbie Williams and Dizzee Rascal have collaborated on a single, and that single isn't complete balls.
Goin' Crazy is the first single from Dizzee's long-gestating fifth album - but Robbie steals the show with a stop-start chorus that rivals Candy for singalongability. Dizzee, meanwhile, continues to rap as if he's auditioning for Big Brother. "I'm a whole lot of trouble and I don't do subtle". Really? How fascinating.
The video is lots of fun, too. The cast ride around on motorbikes, mobility scooters, and tractors in a "typical English street". Shot in one take, it's like the Spice Girls Stop, directed by Spike Milligan. And Robbie appears to channelling the body language of Suggs, for some reason.
A summer anthem in the making.
