“Cobra Style” by Teddybears STHLM
“Cobra Style” by Teddybears STHLM appears on 5 radio countdowns from 5 stations between 2005 and 2006. Its best result is #33 on the WEQX Top 102.7 of 2006. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #113 alternative song of 2006.
Swedish outfit Teddybears built "Cobrastyle" (logged on the countdowns as "Cobra Style") with Jamaican singer Mad Cobra, borrowing from his 2001 track "Press Trigger", and put it on their 2004 album Fresh. It got a second run on 2006's Soft Machine and came out as a single that June.
It came with two videos, one pitting a stop-motion gorilla against a robot cobra in front of a mountain range while the band and Mad Cobra perform, the other mixing retro footage with the band in costume, dressed up to look like old recordings. But the track's real home turned out to be the screen: it played in the pilot episodes of Chuck and Teen Wolf, in comedies from Date Night to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and in the video games FIFA 06, FIFA 23 and Forza Motorsport 2.
