Robyn NEVER disappoints! Amazing new music video (and Behind-the-Scenes video) of Robyn's #UShouldKnowBetter feat. Snoop Dogg is a pop culture delight; @robynkonichiwa, @decida, #PernillaPhilip, #2faced1

Robyn YouTube Channel video: Behind The Scenes: Robyn feat. Snoop Dogg - U Should Know Better. The behind-the-scenes for #UShouldKnowBetter gets into great detail about all aspects of the collaboration of Robyn's Konichiwa Records and Decida Wahlberg's 2faced1. Uploaded June 22, 2013. http://youtu.be/DZnClsOnuuo


Robyn's behind-the-scenes videos are always entertaining, the cherry on top -delicious pop culture confections of  subtext, theme and fun.


The swedish film that Robyn and Decida reference towards the end regarding "kickers" is Stockholmsnatt, but it had the opposite effect on her than it did for many other teens living in Sweden then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholmsnatt

YouTube fame straight from the heart of Uppsala: 'Cottage Cheese Girls' channel Robyn's "Tell Your Girlfriend" with a clever hook

YouTube fame straight from the heart of Uppsala: 'Cottage Cheese Girls' channel Robyn's "Tell Your Girlfriend" with a clever hook

SVT video: Kesotjejerna gör succé (Cottage Cheese Girls Succeed)

SVT Uppland reporter Bernt Hermerle describes the tale of how one ad hoc decision -to turn on a video-cam- during an otherwise boring Wednesday night led to YouTube fame and international media attention for AMANDA WIKSTRÖM, PETRA BROHÄLL and EBBA LOVISA ANDERSSON.

I originally saw them sing on Thursday when I found myself on SVT's website looking for something else entirely.

Not finding what I was looking for, I clicked on some of the recent news videos, in this case, Wednesday's edition of Sverige Idag (Sweden Today).

After watching it for a bit I started fast-forwarding and eventually got to the last segment.

And then at the 22:04 mark, I saw something that I was completely unprepared for.

For about 45 seconds I was dumb-struck

http://svtplay.se/v/2581075/sverige_idag/26_10?cb,a1366518,1,f,-1/pb,a1366516,1,f,-1/pl,v,,2582372/sb,p149528,1,f,-1

Three talented and clever women from an Uppsala band called Erato had turned their boredom one night into a YouTube phenomena... a phenomena that I had heard nothing about, which is strange.

I mean, how many Swedish YouTube sensations can there be at any one time, right? Especially, a capella?

On Friday morning, I saw that Damian over at his very popular blog, SwedishStereo, had also posted something about the girls which I completely agree with: http://swedishstereo.blogspot.com/2011/10/erato-call-your-girlfriend.html

I'd actually received his post Thursday, but literally as I pulled his post up, I got a surprise phone call from someone with a great political tip I need to follow-up on, so... this post is at least 24 hours late.

The original caught LIVE...
