"Advertising Space" is a song by British singerRobbie Williams, for his sixth studio album,Intensive Care (2005). It was released as the third single from the album on 12 December 2005 and reached number eight on theUK Singles Chart. In the song's music video, largely filmed in a room above the Belle Vue pub inBlackpool in the United Kingdom, Williams emulates Elvis in movement, appearance, and habits.[1]
Inspired byTrue Romance, whereChristian Slater's character spoke to the spirit ofElvis Presley, Williams wrote a ballad about "a superstar's fall from grace", which Williams jokingly called his "Candle in the Wind".[2] While interviewed onParkinson and asked about the title "Advertising Space", Williams stated that he gave particular focus to how after dying Elvis was reduced tomerchandising, or remembering "the joke part of his life,the end bit when he got big".[3]
