One of the biggest feuds in the history of rock n’ roll is about to kick off Again.
I have uncovered a secret track recorded by Robbie Williams which slags off arch-rival Liam Gallagher for being Inbred.
In Give Pies A Chance — a play on John Lennon’s famous peace lyrics — Robbie sings a list of insults slating the Oasis frontman.
The abuse includes taunts about the Gallaghers’ looks and career, dubbing them Monkey Boys with Monotone eyebrows. It goes on to claim they’re: “Unemployed since being here right now.”
On the delicate issue of Liam’s ex, Patsy Kensit, Robbie adds: Your Mrs fancies me — bet she wishes she’d waited ’til I was shifting units.
Ouch.
A source said: “Robbie recorded the track with songwriting partner Guy Chambers when they were working on Sing When You’re Winning — their third album together back in 2000.
“They had two No1 albums under their belt at the time and were feeling pretty confident.
“The song ended up on the cutting room floor when they realised the almighty stink it would cause.”
Robbie and the Gallaghers did have a brief spell as boozing buddies at Glastonbury in the summer of 1995.
But things deteriorated rapidly.
Noel famously labelled Rob “the fat dancer from Take That.”
Robbie retaliated, sending a wreath to The Sun to pass on to Oasis when their album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants was released in 2000.
He included the message: “Just heard your latest album — RIP.”
When Robbie sold out Knebworth for three consecutive nights in 2003 — beating the two Oasis did in 1996 — he sent Noel a pair of tap dancing shoes with another message. It read: “Dear Mr N Gallagher, you said two nights at Knebworth is history. Well, I guess three is just greedy.
“Yours, Rob. PS: Finding it difficult to find adequate support for my show. What are you doing on the 1st and 2nd? Oh, and the 3rd?”
Pop god Rob also caused trouble with a track called Ghosts on his last album Intensive Care — about his bedroom antics with Nicole Appleton — now Liam’s fiancée.
At the time he said: “It’ll really fry the balding, pot-bellied ****’s head.”
Robbie is touring Argentina at the moment while Liam prepares for the launch of greatest hits album Stop The Clocks next month.
Just as well. I reckon the further apart they are, the better.
Meanwhile, Robbie has once again threatened to quit touring.
He recently cancelled the Asian leg of his Close Encounters show and yesterday morning told Radio 2’s Ken Bruce: “I will probably never go on tour after this. That is unless I’ve got a divorce to pay for or a family and I want to get out of the house.
“I love talking about my songs on radio but you can do that for three and a half minutes and go home.”
