I actually really like this song, the "hidden" track from Escapology (12.10 on the last track). In a rare occurrence, Robbie seems to have found the exact balance point between jokey silliness and musical excellence. The wordless repeat of the chorus towards the end has something about it that contrasts with the light mood of the words-- it sounds quite tender and dreamy. But the words are still amusing, without resorting to shock value or silly sexual comments. "Does God ever get it wrong/Where has Gary Barlow gone?" Genius.
