| sunybuny (The West Coast & Best Coast of FLA) | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 18:21 Not a big fan of World Party - but sure like this one. |
| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 18:18 Cool ! I think World Party might be even better than the Water Boys Great Tune |
| shakitten | Posted: Nov 23, 2011 - 06:50 I've always loved this song... |

| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Jul 23, 2009 - 12:12 The only version I have heard is not by Robbie Williams or World Party and it was much better than this; does anybody know who else did this song?  |

It was used to very good effect in The Matchmaker (which is, incidentally one of the funniest movies of all time). Love this song and love that film  Clip of film on YouTube |
| eve_silver (Southwest Germany) | Posted: Apr 19, 2009 - 07:48 For me Robbie Wiliams was first, too. Didn't know it was a cover version either. In my opinion Robbie Williams' voice added something more wild to it though, I like his version better - considering that this still remains a boring cheesy song after all. |

Thanks for the laugh as I can just picture Owen Wilson deep in thought as this tune plays over a montage of good times / bad times in their "on screen" relationship (e.g., Jennifer Anniston).  I just saw Marley & Me over the weekend... |
| goldberry (Tonopah Snow) | Posted: Dec 29, 2008 - 16:37 I walked down the aisle to this song. Very sad to hear Robbie Williams did a cover of it.... |
| pallasathene82 (Research Triangle, NC) | Posted: Dec 13, 2008 - 22:56 I think this one escaped from a romantic comedy soundtrack. |
| Skorokoro (Jurmala - currently dark, but still cheerful) | Posted: Nov 12, 2008 - 09:44 this is so much better by world party - first time i hear it, its a different song! |
| musikalia (Somewhere (over the rainbow)) | Posted: Oct 27, 2008 - 12:11 This song is pretty decent, but the bad news is I heard Robbie Williams' version first, therefore ruining it forever for me. That guy is such an imbecile. |
| velvetglove (Savage, MD) | Posted: Oct 27, 2008 - 12:10 I adore Karl Wallinger. There. I've said it. |
| Bridieboo (Halifax, NS) | Posted: Oct 11, 2008 - 19:15 Fantastic. |

Also bear in mind, he has always had other people write for him. Well even writing crap is way above his ability. I have been blessed thus far and haven't been unfortunante enough to have heard Robbie Williams' version. I like this one well enough though. |

Totally agree - RW - shouldn't that stand for Right Wanker!!! Do like the song - first time I've heard this version. |
| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Mar 20, 2008 - 16:31 First time I had heard them was live in concert in San Diego. I was blown away and have been a fan ever since. Yes, Goodbye Jumbo is one of my favorite albums. |
| Oregon_Steve (Portland, Oregon) | Posted: Mar 05, 2008 - 11:05 Back to the music now... Karl Wallinger and World Party were so fabulous in their day...until serious health issues derailed the music for a while. This is a lovely song, but - as others have noted - you should check out the album Goodbye Jumbo in particular, if you don't know the band. It's easily one of the best albums of the '90s. Private Revolution that preceded it and Bang! and Egyptology that followed were all excellent as well. For you 'Greatest Hits' types, try Best of Show from last year, which is heavily tilted toward the first two albums.  |

That sounds right... I can`t imagine Robbie having the imagination or songwriting skills needed to write a song as good as this one. |
| nookie | Posted: Jan 02, 2008 - 03:20 Hmmm........always good to learn something, Robbie Williams covered this song. I didnt' knew that. |

Private Revolution. Goodbye Jumbo from '91 was great, and the song "Way Down" is very stone-esque. In a good way of course. |
