Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner pretends to be Robbie Williams when he's in the recording studio. The "Fluorescent Adolescent" singer - who worked with The Rascals frontman Miles Kane on a new solo album, has revealed the pair enjoyed imagining they were Robbie Williams and his former song-writing partner Guy Chambers when they worked together.
Mike said: "He struts around the room and I sit down with the pad. We say we're Guy and Robbie. We take it in turns to be Robbie."
Alex added: "We said that to take the p**s but there were bits where one of us would be dead excited about something and the other would just go, 'Yeah, alright.' You imagine that's what they'd be like, Robbie doing kick-ups or something and getting excited."
The pair recorded their new album (which is due out April) along with producer James Ford in a secluded studio in northern France last August and admit they went a little crazy.
Alex said: "There were loads of little cakes in the studio so we ate a lot of cake.
"We rode our bikes one afternoon for about a mile and properly freaked out. It was like a 'Carry On' film."
Mike added: "We had our tops off as well, and shorts! Shorts, tops off, full of cake and lots of red wine too."
