she's a real musician, not trying to get attention through her physical attribute but by her music. Something that fergie, lady gaga and lots of female artists should learn to do.
I'm inclined to agree with you. She also said that the "prostitute" imagery was inspired Haruki Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle... which made me love her even more :D
I appreciate how even though she has the body for it, she doesn't show much skin here. Many other female pop singers these days would show as much skin as possible (especially for this song!) but she's showing barely any. I love it!
Moreover, I have also studied Swedish during my time as a university student (not for my Bachelor but on the side) and what Endstation said about women being as emancipated as men is true. That's one of the reason why some men in Sweden prefers foreign women. Because they are less inclined to feel insulted by chivalrous acts (like opening the door). And the fact that there is an higher Rape Reports in Sweden doesn't mean that there are more rape there than anywhere else.
@dyunaar1989 agreed. i was just watching her official video for this song... but i like this performance of the song better. but her costume and "love charm" routine were awesome. but she just seems so much more herself here. : )
Unbelievable performance, she is so talented and deserves to be a big star. I just hope she doesn't get compared to Lady Gaga or any other of those no talent, nothing but shock performers.
People get vacation time, better time, etc when a large collective group of workers demand these things for years (struggle). Bosses don't say " you guys need some sun- ok here's vacation time"
@alejandrorueda Lady Gaga's different. If you watch her 60 minutes interview, she reveals that her costumes, outfits and weird hairstyle is all part of her manipulation of the media. It's actually quite brilliant.
@hashfromplan9 She usually looks like that when she performs ANY song, I think. She might try to come off as more harsh than she usually looks because of the meaning of the song... I mean; take a look at the music video for it and she looks harsh there too.
"Rape is not more common in Sweden [than elsewhere]," says Karin Sandell of Uppsala University's National Centre for Knowledge of Men's Violence Against Women, echoing a sentiment expressed by many Swedish rape experts. "It's just that Swedish women are more empowered to report it to police."
It obviously is about sex. But when she says its not about sex, she means that she is using it as a metaphor for her control over publicity/the music industry (or something like that). There really couldn't be much more obviously sexual lyrics without being blatantly explicit. "Don't pull your pants before I go down," "Like a shotgun needs an outcome," "I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some" come on...
@nastyplot555 I disagree with your assessment of the word. It still carries the root "nazi" in it, so it does refer to totalitarian behavior. Yes well so is the song.
@Mycenaea no ive seen her a lot live and 'harsh' isnt a word id associate with her, her stage presence is more fierce, but she herself is sweet and mellow if u meet her in person. but she definitely hesitates to say - and mumbles the word "Prostitute" /every/ time she performs /this/ song. dozens of time in a row, her face gets a very self-conscious expression and she looks uncomfortable saying that one word every time she sings it. even on the record she sounds uncomfortable w/ it.
It just means that women know their rights and aren't responsible of having been raped. That it is not their fault but the rapist's. Anyway, does anyone else think that the "I am your prostitute" line is contradictory to the meaning of the other lyrics? She implies that women hold the control, that they don't take demands. But aren't prostitutes working on demands?
@hashfromplan9 Why do you think they try to use sweden to get Julian Assange accused of rape? That's because the idea of what rape is in Sweden is very broad. The same in the other Scandinavian countries. Unlike sahira, U.S. Law and other medieval legal systems.
Haha. That was a very desperate way of not admitting you don't have any arguments. Good arguments you've got there! I presented real arguments based on academuc research by the wirlds leading criminologists, you responded like a real teenager. :)
American women do not follow gender norms much anymore. Some more conservative states, sure, but throughout most of the country (especially on the west coast) women have lots of sexual freedom.
Great performance! Her voice got stronger in this album. LOVE IT
Love her pant suit.... so much swagger.
Man, if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone sound this good..... I'd have one dollar. OMG amazing.
definitely one of the best live performances i've seen
talented vocal and band...
very nice style of dress...
nanna Ferguson. Her message is powerful. Women really have it tough. Her lyrics tell the story.
now that's what i call music!
Has an addicting voice. Until we bleed is my favorite song.
I love her and her music, and I love him and his show.
Amazing! Total shades of Siouxsie and the Banshees 1987
I didn't know Siouxsie's work with the Creatures, so, no. But thanx for getting me to look it up.
that drummer rocks!!
Lykke Li owns it everytime and everywhere she performs!
One of the most talented of this generation!!!
Love the beat, the big band banging on the drums..
a force to be reckoned with....~__*
I remember watching this on TV when it came on, I had to look her up right after
that ride bell is powerful
This is the Best performance she has ever done, I think. Well, atleast on a talk show anyway.
she's a real musician, not trying to get attention through her physical attribute but by her music. Something that fergie, lady gaga and lots of female artists should learn to do.
Lykke is great! She is absolutely unpretentious and her self....
FLAWLESS.
THE SUPREME
❤❤❤
My favourite song of hers is Dance Dance Dance : 👍 👊
I'm inclined to agree with you. She also said that the "prostitute" imagery was inspired Haruki Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle... which made me love her even more :D
I like this live version best.
Hell yes.
love
That was awesome!
I appreciate how even though she has the body for it, she doesn't show much skin here. Many other female pop singers these days would show as much skin as possible (especially for this song!) but she's showing barely any. I love it!
I Love this song and Lykke Li is amazing! Beautiful video.
Thank you!
wow. pulled off the aesthetic live and shit. hard to believe one person wrote that song.
awesome lykke :)

I like your style, Dude.
Well, I dig your style too, man. Got the whole official thing goin'.
@dyunaar1989 agreed. i was just watching her official video for this song... but i like this performance of the song better. but her costume and "love charm" routine were awesome. but she just seems so much more herself here. : )
actitud: ♥
man this chick sounds way better live and shes beautiful too
Shit! She's the best live performer I have ever seen
I knew I heard that "Batman Arkham City" Catwoman trailer song from somewhere. It was from Conan.
Love this woman.
Unbelievable performance, she is so talented and deserves to be a big star. I just hope she doesn't get compared to Lady Gaga or any other of those no talent, nothing but shock performers.
cool
People get vacation time, better time, etc when a large collective group of workers demand these things for years (struggle). Bosses don't say " you guys need some sun- ok here's vacation time"
How I got to know Lykke Li! xD
pretty cool shit
@mrsstarryeyed its her thing. she uses it a lot.
omg this is the best performance ever
The song remember me catwoman :P
@alejandrorueda Lady Gaga's different. If you watch her 60 minutes interview, she reveals that her costumes, outfits and weird hairstyle is all part of her manipulation of the media. It's actually quite brilliant.
Need for speed the run bring me here
That's a bad girl!
That's how I'll move in front of my boss after I tell him I quit my job
This one goes out to the cat thief in Arkham City
@MrHardy946 As in singing? The song is in english.
My favorite song by her is "I Follow Rivers".
@hashfromplan9 She usually looks like that when she performs ANY song, I think. She might try to come off as more harsh than she usually looks because of the meaning of the song... I mean; take a look at the music video for it and she looks harsh there too.
You sound handsome and smart.
@Endstation amen!
I think conan has a little crush. Did anyone else here his voice at the end?
@coreyyeah Yeah, probably.
@slurms625 So a song of Hally berry would appear in the promo of the videogame.
"Rape is not more common in Sweden [than elsewhere]," says Karin Sandell of Uppsala University's National Centre for Knowledge of Men's Violence Against Women, echoing a sentiment expressed by many Swedish rape experts. "It's just that Swedish women are more empowered to report it to police."
@dissident93 its tucked in ;)
she kinda looks like val from awkward in this video
He beats those drums like they owe his bitch money!
DLed the actual album. The Conan version is 10x better. I put this on my iPod instead of the regular one.
crazy she's only in her early 20's
Her performance on Jimmi Fallon was one of the best artist performances I've ever seen. Too bad it's missing from the webz.
I am still looking for this
@stuff4783 Who DOESN'T have a crush on Lykke? :P
I prostitution legal in Sweden? No matter the song is off the hook!!!! I am stalking it on UA-cam and all.
@rbrazil99 I saw that after I commented. haha
@mrsstarryeyed "Dynamic".
Lorde has stolen this woman's moves?
She moves better then Lorde,who looks like she's always tripping on some Opiate.
She probably is just to keep her gig worthy for her corporate masters!
Benjamin Rood excuse me? Writer In The Dark??? Liability?? You must have deaf ears to not notice that she has improved a lot
Where the fuck is the Jools performance of this song? Why was it removed?
It obviously is about sex. But when she says its not about sex, she means that she is using it as a metaphor for her control over publicity/the music industry (or something like that).
There really couldn't be much more obviously sexual lyrics without being blatantly explicit. "Don't pull your pants before I go down," "Like a shotgun needs an outcome," "I'm your prostitute, you gon' get some" come on...
@Endstation It's too bad America's still like that... -an American
(no sarcasm intended)
Her name is not Lickey Li, its Lykke Li!
Is that french or spanish she's speaking???
@joshr03 They can take it off. They just won't screw.
@nastyplot555 I disagree with your assessment of the word. It still carries the root "nazi" in it, so it does refer to totalitarian behavior. Yes well so is the song.
@Mycenaea no ive seen her a lot live and 'harsh' isnt a word id associate with her, her stage presence is more fierce, but she herself is sweet and mellow if u meet her in person.
but she definitely hesitates to say - and mumbles the word "Prostitute" /every/ time she performs /this/ song. dozens of time in a row, her face gets a very self-conscious expression and she looks uncomfortable saying that one word every time she sings it. even on the record she sounds uncomfortable w/ it.
the outfit is brilliant. we women need to assert dominance and strength in society or we'll get steam rolled by anti-feminists
@NeaCast She looks better with longer hair. But yeah. haha
Like the version of NFS the run better :)
It just means that women know their rights and aren't responsible of having been raped. That it is not their fault but the rapist's. Anyway, does anyone else think that the "I am your prostitute" line is contradictory to the meaning of the other lyrics? She implies that women hold the control, that they don't take demands. But aren't prostitutes working on demands?
she seems a bit uncomfortable with the prositute line
maybe it was for shock effet and then she change her mind:P
@hashfromplan9 Why do you think they try to use sweden to get Julian Assange accused of rape? That's because the idea of what rape is in Sweden is very broad. The same in the other Scandinavian countries. Unlike sahira, U.S. Law and other medieval legal systems.
I think the bull horn is a bit much.
Honestly for the longest time Ive been pronouncing it likely unless he said it wrong which I don't doubt..
She didn't mean that she is a real prostitute, is just a saying , like "i'm a bitch" or something like that
Haha. That was a very desperate way of not admitting you don't have any arguments. Good arguments you've got there! I presented real arguments based on academuc research by the wirlds leading criminologists, you responded like a real teenager. :)
song sounds better live
She is cool as shit!
I know that. I've seen the interview. But if you already knew this, why are you so disturbed she uses the name prostitute?
At 0:59 confirmed illuminati now : Must be new recruit
what if SHE was catwoman ?
she looks a bit like alexa chung
4 people didn't get any
American women do not follow gender norms much anymore. Some more conservative states, sure, but throughout most of the country (especially on the west coast) women have lots of sexual freedom.
