Synopsis

Set in a romantic 1966 world of polished cars, cocktails, Christmas decorations and mid-century glamour, Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman play a couple enjoying an evening together. After returning home, their flirtation continues through drinks, dancing, gift-giving and increasingly intimate moments. The video presents the duet as a miniature vintage romance, matching the song's nervous confession of love with a playful blend of elegance, seduction and holiday warmth.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Somethin' Stupid" is a cover of the 1967 hit recorded by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra.
  • The song appeared on Robbie Williams' 2001 swing album, "Swing When You're Winning," and was released as its lead single in December 2001.
  • The single became the 2001 UK Christmas Number 1 and spent three weeks at the top of the Official Singles Chart.
  • Nicole Kidman's participation followed her chart appearance with Ewan McGregor on "Come What May," from "Moulin Rouge!" The Robbie Williams duet became her first and, to date, only UK Number 1 single.
  • The period setting deliberately echoes the song's Sinatra-era associations. The video is framed as a 1966 romance, despite being made in 2001.
  • Williams and Kidman recorded their version at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, the same city associated with the recording history of the Sinatra original.
  • The release marked another high-profile acting-and-pop crossover for Kidman in 2001, shortly after her prominent musical role in "Moulin Rouge!"

Lyrics

I know I stand in line
until you think you have the time
to spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
you won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
by saying something stupid
like :"I love you"
