One of the many brilliant pop tracks on Robyn's self-titled album (released here in the states over the summer) is a cover of the Heineken-shilling Teddybear's "Cobrastyle." A short video clip was produced, with Robyn playing strip poker with blogger Perez Hilton and some friends, but it paled when compared to the rediculous highs of the "Handle Me" and "Every Heartbeat" videos.
I was quite thrilled to see a full-length video released, especially when it opened with Robyn spitting blue paint in backwards slow-motion. Then we get paint squirted on her and the band, as well as pigment powders splashed (ala Regina Spektor's "Fidelity" vid) and lots more paint-fight action. It's a great video, and I would hope it might finally garner Robyn some airplay on the VH1. But alas, it seems America is not ready for the Swedish pop star's return! Mainstream radio, it's your loss.
