Robbie Williams Covers Stephen Duffy

Robbie's over-the-top remake of Tin Tin's '85 hit is a free download from iTunes, which says RW and Duffy are working together? Makes sense, as Claire Worrall's sang with both men's bands.

Tin Tin was actually the work of Stephen Duffy, who was one of the founding members of Duran Duran. Duffy then formed the group the Lilac Time, who created a few albums of Nick Drake-inspired folk pop. Currently, Duffy has been co-writing songs with Robbie Williams, no doubt inspiring this choice cover taken from Williams' newest album, Rudebox.

We've got the original, and a sweet, twangy cut from lilac6 for ya too.

Tin Tin - "Kiss Me" (MP3)
The Lilac Tiime - "I Want To Be Your Man" (MP3)
