"Supreme" is a song by Robbie Williams released in 2000 as the third single from his album "Sing When You're Winning", and is loosely based on the Gloria Gaynor classic "I Will Survive" because, according to Williams, he was in a trip in Switzerland and when it was approaching the new millennium, the tourists, although none speak the same language, were all humming the string solo of "I Will Survive". The string instrument part is originally from the José Giovanni directed film "dernier domicile connu" starring Lino Ventura and Marlène Jobert.

Music video

The "Supreme" video, titled "Gentlemen racers" as seen in its opening credits, is a tribute to British Formula One driver Jackie Stewart. Williams portrays the fictitious character "Bob Williams", a rival driver competing for the 1970s F1 World Championship. The video includes stock footage of Stewart with Williams digitally inserted in many scenes, creating the near-perfect illusion of a neck-to-neck pursuit of the championship title. The video makes extensive use of the split-screen technique as it is often seen in movies from the 1960s and 70s, and the scenes with Robbie Williams were given a yellowed, grainy image texture in the digital editing process to match the faded look of the original 35mm celluloid footage with Jackie Stewart. As yet another movie cliché, fake newspaper headlines are shown intermittently to help narrate the story.

Chart Success

The song became another massive success for Williams' - it managed to make the top ten in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria, New Zealand and other countries, the song was recorded in french and released in France peaking at number-twelve and spending thirty-four weeks inside the French charts being certified Gold by the SNEP.
