After watching the Technicolor clip for Robyn‘s cheeky “Konichiwa Bitches,” we’d like to propose a rule for all video auteurs going forward: If you’re going to go down the oh-so-serious route of having credits roll before your song kicks in, you must spend at least one verse of the clip either a) dressed up as a piece of candy or b) wielding a four-foot cardboard mallet against someone’s feet. Preferably both.

It’s like ‘Fergalicious’ meets Pee-Wee Herman.
You know what? I’m just going to admit it. I honestly see little to no difference between the crummy dance-pop chicks I’m supposed to like (Robyn, Annie, Goldfrapp?), and the crummy dance-pop chicks I’m supposed to hate (Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Goldfrapp?).
Nuance is lost on you.
She sounds like a PG-13 rated version of Peaches.
That as may be, Brasstax. Now that I think of it, I’ve also never been able to tell the difference between chocolate and chewing gum.
Amen, joshservo.
