Something Stupid

[growyourwings]

I love Frank Sinatra. I love crooner songs from the 40s & 50s. I love the cultural time-slot of the 50s. I love Robbie Williams. I loved Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.

So I just found this music video rec'd on my flist. It is so perfect. It marries all of the above.

I love the song Something Stupid as sung by Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra. This is music video of Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman singing the same song. It builds in a campy 50s motif along with a little sexual S&M.

Here are some screen caps to wet your appetite. The quality is not good as they were taken off a low-quality YouTube download.

And Robbie's tattoo!

The two really have great chemistry

Plus I love Robbie's expressions

The campy fifties setting

And the sexual chemistry

And here's the music video:

I first saw Robbie in the movie De-Lovely. I also first saw John Barrowman and Diana Krall in that movie. I went out and bought just about everything sung by Diana Krall and most of Robbie's (although Robbie's default style is definitely different that what he did in De-Lovey and here in this vid--I still love his work.)
