The metaphor "Monkey on my back", is where the title comes from, as the "monkey" in the song is the monkey on Robbie's back. Specifically, the destructive side of his personality when he had a cocaine addiction. And the monkey could also be a metphor here for drug addiction itself. This is my fave Robbie Willams song, it's so full of drama and edge, I just love it.
Yes the Monkey is a metaphor. Rob saw himself as a monkey. Drugs and sex in Las Vegas on a trip there! Robbie’s new movie will explain everything! ‘BETTER MAN’ can’t wait for it woohoo and Cuddles from Robbie Williams Cuddle Club
This might just be my favourite Robbie’s song and performance. It’s everything. The melody, the story, the whole performance is so entertaining! It’s so theatrical. I feel like I’m watching a spectacular play.
I am mainly a metal-head (so is Robbie) and I LOVE Robbie Williams!! He's punk defined. He just does whatever the hell he pleases and doesn't give a fuck what you think about it.
Robbie at his best .no body could touch him at that time .he was massive .he was well at that time with mental health issues so glad he found some peace he happy .
It's about Robbie how he was feeling at that time he was battling a lot demon's .he wasn't well .with lot mental health struggles .addictions .I'm happy things have turned out better for Robbie he is in happy place .now . Good one to watch .when Robbie got back with his old band take that !! He played lot gigs called progress in my view he stole the show he was great . This Robbie at his peak . Also happy are American friends are starting to getting to know him more . Great front man .
The Monkey that Robbie was talking in this song was about "the monkey on his back", the inside demons that Robbie fight during a period of time of his life, like his addiction to drugs and alcohol.
the song refers to his mental problems due to anxiety but also to other aspects such as body dysmorphia and there are also many references to drug addictions to overcome it all Rob Legend ❤
His stage presence is up there with the very best The biggest compliment I can give Rob was he wasn’t to shake things up and try different styles and genres

My favourite performer ever
I eventually figured it out 😂 glad it wasn’t what I thought it might be at the very beginning of the song 🫣😁 I love his attitude, it’s kinda sassy ❤
I suppose "Me and my monkey " means as opposed to saying: " it isn't my circus, it isn't my monkey" , Robbie is such seif-ironic, i adore him😍
saw Robbie Williams in Dublin on latest tour so great!!
The monkey is his addictions. Next you need to do Come Undone. Same theme
6:00 u got it!
Yeah, you might want to look up the meaning of having a monkey on your back. You'll get the meaning of the song then.
The Monkey is Robbie's drug-addicted alter ego. The album version finishes with "How did I get mixed up with this fuckin' monkey anyhow"
play Angels by him. sam show. it will blow up
not a good idea making a video when on coke...
