Robyn Writhes in an Empty Gym While Pleading to “Call Your Girlfriend”

The video for Robyn‘s truly magnificent track (possibly the best from Body Talk, vol.3) is a simple one-take video where we see the electro pop artiste writhe around in an empty gym singing to the camera. The video is interesting enough, but not the direction I would have thought the video for this great song would take. Robyn isn’t Catherine Zeta-Jones, nor is she that great of a dancer, but that’s exactly her appeal — she’s a nerdy, sometimes geeky club kid, with a big heart and an incredible knack for singing the most astute lyrics. Did you ever suspect you would hear a song about stealing someone’s boyfriend that was sympathetic to the one being dumped? But that’s what Robyn does best, take ordinary situations that have turned clichéd in the pop world, and flip them on their head. What do you think about the video?
