According to, oh, I don't know, a variety of sources, it's the Arctic Monkeys who are completely, entirely and wholly responsible for the fact that that the very tall footballer Peter Crouch has been celebrating goals and stuff with that robot dance. It's already been suggested that he did it at the vastly over-reported (not by us) Beckham World Cup Party thingy and it went down a treat, but the latest revelation is that it was the line "Dancing to electro-pop like a robot, from 1984" from Arctic Monkeys' 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' that inspired him.
I don't know why everyone's so obsessed with the robot thing. I still can't get over the fact that there's a *giant* playing for the England team.
