Let Me Entertain You (The Bizarro Mix)

About

Let Me Entertain You (The Bizarro Mix) appears on CD3 of the 25th anniversary edition of Life Thru a Lens. The remix was originally released in 1998 as a B-side on CD formats of the Let Me Entertain You single, during a period when multiple alternate versions were routinely commissioned to extend a track’s reach beyond radio.

The song was written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, with the remix and additional production credited to Mother for 7pm Management. Mother’s approach reshapes the track into a club oriented form, distancing it from the guitar driven swagger of the album version. Rather than building towards a traditional chorus structure, the mix focuses on rhythm, repetition and sonic impact.

Musically, the Bizarro Mix strips back much of the original arrangement, foregrounding beats, loops and processed textures. Williams’ vocal appears in fragments, used more as a rhythmic and atmospheric element than a narrative centre. Familiar lyrical phrases are isolated and repeated, reinforcing the remix’s functional role within a dance context.

Thematically, the song’s core idea of performance and spectacle remains present, but it is expressed through sound rather than storytelling. The confrontational energy of the original is translated into a physical, beat driven experience, aligning the track with late 1990s remix culture rather than mainstream pop.
