'Rock DJ' is a song by British pop singer Robbie Williams, taken from his fourth album, 'Sing When You're Winning', released in the Summer of 2000. The song samples heavily from Barry White's 1977 song 'It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me'. The music video, directed by Vaughan Arnell, was surrounded by controversy because of its explicit content. The video begins with Williams dancing on a roller disco with girls skating around him. He wants to get the attention of the female DJ standing above the stage, so he begins stripping off his clothes. After this does not get her attention, he starts stripping his flesh, muscles and organs, too, until the only thing that is left from him are his bones. In the end, he achieves the DJ's attention and dances with her as a skeleton. The video's ending [beginning with Williams taking off his skin] was cut by most music channels around Europe, including VIVA, MCM and MTV. VH1 Europe decided to use its own video for the song, created from recording studio footage. Some channels ran the edited video during the day and the unedited one overnight. In 2001, 'Rock DJ' won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Special Effects. In 2006 it was voted by viewers as the seventh Most Groundbreaking Video Ever on MTV and in 2007 it was ranked at forty-eight on MuchMusic's 50 Most Controversial Videos. Though the song 'Rock DJ' appeared in 'Sing When You're Winning', it was never released in the U.S. and neither was the single. Although, it did manage to reach twenty-four on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart. 'Rock DJ' got some attention in America due to the music video's shock value.
