The video for Robbie Williams' throwbacky "You Know Me" conceptually flips around the title of the crooning 9/11 conspiracy theorist's new album, Reality Killed The Video Star . Only here it's the video that's killing anything resembling reality, with Williams using an extended dream sequence as an excuse to dress up in a bunny suit and flit around like he's late for a very important date...
