Robyn Cobrastyle Live on Late Show with David Letterman

[@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.

[@chataignevendemiaire]

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

"I guess I'm old fashioned, but I love to see a bear in coat and a tie."

[@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.

[@paulsantos3274]

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

[@Cel2]

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

[@gaminonya7599]

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

[@okyouknowwhatever]

That's not the actual Teddybears that's her touring musicians in bear costumes

No need to ask… I will be here every year this clip exists on KZbin.

[@dillowman8]

Best endorsement of a cover is why the original band plays with the cover artist. Says a lot about Robyn!

[@juni039]

Such badass on that stage

[@paulschneeman1476]

Robyn owned NYC.

[@jrob7989]

Omg I love this song and the song lyrics is amazing

[@sjsterling]

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

[@APointJM]

[@jankarlsson8341]

Nice setup with two drummers and keyboard.

[@matdur2000]

I love Mad Cobra but she fuckin kills it in this version

[@jrob7989]

Yeah 😅

[@BestFilmSoundtrack]

Awsome

[@King_Grogu-485]

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

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"

[@brentfriedland]

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

[@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"?

[@King_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."

[@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.

[@King_Grogu-485]

Mad Cobra version is much better

[@okyouknowwhatever]

That's not Teddybears the band but her touring musicians in bear costumes (or heads)

[@Onionbaron]

That's what's called powerexport!!!

[@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.

[@DeadRoman]

Nice tribute to Teaddybearz

[@meganlee1518]

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

[@luxeford547]

To clarify: "Mi press trigger mi nuh press people button" is typical Stockholm street vernacular. Come visit! We have fun here.
