Well we have spoken before about names... You probably don't remember. Now either I have made a huge gaff when registering, or you have made a very 'school boy' error in your post, with emphasis on the 'boy' part, by assuming I'm a he. I'm a she!
You have 4 years on me for the forum, but Humphry and The Big Sleep have a lot more years on either of us (and Digital Spy.)
Regarding the Song of Robbie and Gary.... I'm good at interpreting obscure poetry and lyrics and seeking out hidden meanings. I think the song alluded to two people, probably men (but I'd hate to assume

) who in the past had some kind of relationship - something in the public domain perhaps?. There seems to be a hint of some split, followed by a lot of public animosity, where each party told their side of the story through some kind of public forum. Later, one went on to be hugely successful, after a short dip in popularity... Then their success faded and the other party was in the assendancy, perhaps backed up by others in a similar postion... some kind fo group?. I feel the song celebrates the two coming together in a mutually lucrative financial partnership.... I think it is a story most people can relate to... Who hasn't broken up with a fellow celebrity and done a similar thing?.... I've often gone into Toys R us and seen ex partners posted on the walls. Like all great songs, it speaks to the predicament of the common man/woman. I'm sure the sacked dancers (kept on as extras) could have conjured up some interpretation....
Of course, this is all speculation and me reading very deeply between the lines to extract a well buried meaning.
