Tripping (song)

"Tripping" is a song by British singer Robbie Williams from his sixth studio album Intensive Care (2005).

Robbie Williams called the song "something like a mini gangster opera" and "kind of cabaret act reggae".

[8] In Australia, "Tripping" peaked at number seven and went on to sell over 35,000 copies, being certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association.

[9] The video, which was directed by Johan Renck, features Robbie Williams running in place as if he can't seem to get anywhere.

It appears that Williams is having a nightmare, in which he is living sometime in the 1950s, and is stuck running endlessly in a maze without ever advancing, or driving in a stereotypical 1950s backdrop.

He finds himself trapped in an elevator with a larger person dressed in drag, who unexpectedly suggests engaging in intimate actions.
