"Cobrastyle"
performed by Teddybears STHLM featuring Mad Cobra
appearing on Soft Machine album - 2006
 
I love the song "Cobrastyle," don't you? Perhaps you heard it in/on "Grey's Anatomy," "Laguna Beach," "Las Vegas," "Entourage," Man of the Year with Robin Williams, Employee of the Month with Dane Cook, the FIFA '06 game, The Honeymooners with Cedric the Entertainer, After the Sunset with Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek, The Benchwarmers with David Spade, commercials for Heineken, advertisements for FOX's "Bones" and the Epic Movie trailer.
 
The sound is so bizarre, I didn't think it would please mainstream audiences. I didn't think anybody would like it when I heard it about a year ago. I didn't even like it at first because I heard Teddybears' song "Hey Boy" beforehand and I thought it couldn't be topped; it was too catchy. But Teddybears outdid themselves when they released "Soft Machine" and the single for "Cobrastyle" with reggae sensation Mad Cobra on lead vocs. I really recommend downloading the song, preferably legally, in the chance that a minimum of one cent actually goes to the group itself. If you're a cheap fuck like me, just find it on Limewire and download with it "Hey Boy," "Teddybear Music" and "Little Stereo." Great electronic pleasures to your ears, my friends.

The Hives, Barely Legal, 1997 (Epitath/Burning Heart)

This is proably the least known of the Hives albums, which is strange,
because it happens to be their debut.  At first listen, it is kind of
hard to believe it is the radio-friendly Hives that we hear almost
every day, but you can see how their older sound is somewhat similar
to their newer, more watered down sound.  This album is somewhat rough
in quality, and unleashes a harder, more punk side of the Hives.  I
would suggest buying this album if you are a fan of the Hives, and it
is even worth checking out if you aren't too much of a fan, or don't
know who I am talking about.
