Trying to find a song/artist name...

I was walking through Universal City's 'Studio Walk' last night, and up on a jumbo big screen TV, I saw kind of a strange video. The video was a single guy dancing around singing a 70s-esque song with a relatively high-pitched voice reminiscent of Prince's 'Kiss'. During the video he was singing at what appeared to be a birthday party for someone's grandmother, where the other partygoers were standing around with horrified disappointed looks on their faces while this guy was just going crazy singing and dancing. The video culminated with him essentially freaking grandma, then getting kicked out of the house. The guy was a white guy with dark hair. Other than that I have no idea what the song name/artist name is. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't the slightest clue, but it sure sounds like Robbie Williams to me.

Thanks so much guys! The song is called 'Idiot Boyfriend'.

It was a riot last night. Basically the jumbotron thing had been playing videos all night... It's right next to the Hard Rock Cafe there, and that was the one song where the entire crowd was kind of looking up watching it. It was like a car wreck. I couldn't look away.

City Walk is like an outdoor mall/shop/restaurant thing right outside of Universal Studios here in LA.

Offtopic since we have an answer...but how the hell is Jimmy Fallon an Adam Sandler wannabe?
Other than the fact that they both sing and play guitar on SNL...they have nothing in common as far as their comedy goes. And even then, Fallon spoofs popular songs, while Sandler made up his own crazy shit, so even that is unrelated.

just refering to his use of comedy guitar, not that thats an original sandler idea, his voice/spin/overall song sound is very sandler esque

it also was a literal brain search, i had him stored in my brain as guitar/comedy/singer, made me think sandler etc..
