The Weirdest Music Video I've Seen

When I was young, I saw the music video for Robbie Williams' hit song "Rock DJ" for the first time. My first reaction when it started was "Oh, he's gonna start dancing with the ladies in front of him", and when it got to the part where he starts taking his clothes off, things got a bit spicier. During the strip scene, Robbie decided to take it a step further by peeling his skin off revealing his muscular flesh, and I felt weirded out when I saw that happen. And to top it off, he [REDACTED cause I don't want to go too far], turning him into a red skeleton and decides to dance with the DJ in the video to end it. When the video concluded, I didn't quite understand what was going on, And if I ever saw it again, I would still be weirded out.

Overall. the song felt pretty catchy, and I started to sing the chorus line and think about the music video until it faded and I moved on to other modern music that was on TV and the radio.

"I don't wanna ride, BJ"
