Robyn Cobrastyle Live on Late Show with David Letterman

[@paulsantos3274]

My first time hearing this song...she absolutely nailed it!!

[@NicksMovieMix]

this is when I fell in....LOVE....and then I leaned it was a cover and fell in love again....with the original....

[@yasmine5105]

Robyn, undoubtedly had the best cover. Cobrastyle" is a song performed by Swedish band Teddybears, featuring Jamaican singer Mad Cobra. The song was released on their 2004 album Fresh, and reissued on their 2006 album Soft Machine. It was released as a single on 6 June 2006. Cobrastyle" samples the piano riff from Fine Young Cannibals's "Good Thing". The song's verse reuses parts of Mad Cobra's "Press Trigger",and Busy Bee's "Making Cash Money". The composition also features a familiar musical line that has been described as reminiscent of The 5.6.7.8's cover of the Ikettes song, "I'm Blue".

Yasmin E nah mad cobra sounded better

[@safetyfirst487]

I did not know they were swedish. I am swedish myself.

[@JessHart006]

@@jamesramsammy4611 Yasmin's technically still right, as Mad Cobra's version isn't a cover.

[@chataignevendemiaire7172]

Spasibo for information.

[@ethanjames5165]

Interestingly, The Bloody Beetroots made a cover of Robyn's version of Cobrastyle instead of the original, which definitely speaks for Robyn's interpretation of the track

Among the coolest i ever seen on the screen

[@Cel2]

Love you Robyn:) any genre she just slays it! Awesome

[@TheSkinsFactoryInc]

So i love the bear drumming in the back left. So into the beat. The other one is stiff and methodical. Both are cool. I think it's amazing how perfect they are in sync. That can't be easy. Especially when they do the fill and cymbal hit. So talented.

[@TruthNTime]

The Bear that's "into it" is basically the main drummer. He's the one most responsible for the beat your hearing. The other drummer is basically there for two reasons: 1. It adds more stage presence. 2. It adds to the beat by making it more powerful and louder. That's why he's only doing a basic 4/4 beat and the one who is rocking out is laying down the more complicated beat of 16/4 a measure.

[@gaminonya7599]

It cracks me up that no one mentions that the Teddybears adjusted to Robyn's Key so well.

[@davidgolden916]

She killed it !!!

COVID is getting the better of me. I swear the drummer's eyes blinked.

[@Grogu-485]

This song was written by Mad Cobra from Jamaica and remix with Teddybears from sweden.

[@sjsterling]

Dancehall legend Mad Cobra actually wrote this song and remixed it with teddy bears.

[@APointJM]

They haven't been the same since the barracuda incident.

I push trigger. who gone get the next dozen???

[@NicksMovieMix]

I fukkkin LOVE Robyn........does she write all her own stuff?

[@MegaManga90]

NicksMovieMix the teddybears wrote this song and she is not in the teddybears actually

[@NicksMovieMix]

I know that now....thanks. I like the original version a lot. When I was a Little Stereo too...........

[@fetlix]

+NicksMovieMix She does write all her own stuff eventho she didn't write this song. she's one of the few artists who doesn't get their songs as scripts from others

[@APointJM]

Actually the lyrics are by the Jamaican artist #madcobra "press trigga wi nuh press button"

[@meganlee1518]

This is the sample that Charli XCX used for the Barbie song “Speedrive”??????

[@jonassteinberg3779]

I didn't know this was a cover, but I must say I feel she did a great job. I admit, however, that I was wondering how a Swedish woman knew all that American slang (like rucca).

[@JessHart006]

You mean all that Jamaican slang, like "rude girl"?

[@Grogu-485]

Those are Jamaican Slang.

[@Menghua-wc6dk]

The original is co-creation between Teddybears and a Jamaican

[@jonassteinberg3779]

Ha yeah I was quite confused. Jamaican 🙏🙏🙏

[@swapsplat]

I just keep thinking of Will Ferrell... "I don't know what to do with my hands."

[@collinscott1369]

This song is from that jamaican guy isn't it? Mad cobra she even have some jamamican word in it its sound Kool.

[@Onionbaron]

That's what's called powerexport!!!

[@zaccorpseman7366]

I wish the EMX instrument gets used more in songs

[@DeadRoman]

Nice tribute to Teaddybearz

[@kainmartin9223]

Robyn brings an anergy to this song the TeddyBears just didn't have. Mos def like Robyns version better. Cool to see her backed up by the Bears themselves.

[@Grogu-485]

Mad Cobra version is much better

[@Goldenrod636]

Does she have the actual band there?

[@okyouknowwhatever]

I would guess no, it's probably just her touring musicians in masks. Teddybears doesn't have two drummers, especially not two great drummers. Watch her latter performance at Letterman (Dancing On My Own) and it's the identical setup, two drummers and a keyboardist and it's not Teddybears.

It's Robyn backed by Teddybears Stockholm. They are famous, talented and rich. You are a miserable waste of human flesh. Congratulations.

mongo skitpåre I didn't even recognize it as the same song! The original Cobrastyle, by Teddybears, has so much more energy compared to this version.

[@vsgabr]

bonihani17 that's the beauty of a well done cover. she reinvented the whole song.

[@mugabe23]

Gabriel Vivaldini The "original" was a cover as well.

[@HadukemNukem]

+mugabe23 No it was not you dumbass... Teddybear produced the song Cobrastyle featuring Mad Cobra. They used one piano riff sample and Mad Cobra reused lines from one of his old songs and Busy Bee. Please...

obviously, you weren't listening
