Robyn on SNL over the weekend: 'Call Your Girlfriend'
Posted by Andrew Matson
Swedish pop star Robyn performed "Call Your Girlfriend" on SNL over the weekend, and besides enjoying her dance moves, I appreciated anew how non-judgmental and humane the song is. Robyn's message is that sleeping with someone else is OK but you must MUST call your girlfriend first. And be nice. Tell her it's not her fault.
Basically, love is a battlefield and part of the deal is you have to come through with the medics and hold dying soldiers and tell them heaven is waiting.
And it's not about feeling bad. It's about R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
See her perform "Dancehall Queen" from three feet away at the Paramount a few months back here.
