Emma Stone joined Maya Rudolph on her NBC variety show with Martin Short Maya & Mary for a brilliant cover of Robyn’s 2011 hit song “Call Your Girlfriend“, using tubs of butter as musical instruments.
The rendition uses a similar rhythmic pattern that was made famous by Anna Kendrick’s song “Cups” from Pitch Perfect.
This isn’t the first time this cover has been performed using recycled butter tubs as Stereogum points out. It was originally performed by Bosnian R&B Duo Erato and later by Youtubers Lennon & Maisy.
You can watch all three renditions below.
