Is there anything Emma Stone can't do?
The La La Land actress was a special guest on Tuesday's season finale of NBC's variety series Maya & Marty. In addition to playing a ghost intern alongside Mikey Day in the "Office Ghosts" sketch, Stone and host Maya Rudolph also performed Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" using butter tubs. The cover was inspired by a black and white video of the Swedish band Erato performing the song with empty containers. "I saw this thing on YouTube a couple years ago of these three girls in their kitchen in Sweden singing a song, playing butter tubs, and I've been practicing ever since," Rudolph said. "No pressure—just two gals hanging out with butter tubs."
Like Erato, she and Stone sang in unison, creating their own beat by clapping and drumming. "Call your girlfriend / It's time you had the talk / Give your reasons / Say it's not her fault / But you just met somebody new / Tell her not to get upset, second-guessing everything you said and done / And then when she gets upset tell her how you never mean to hurt no one," they sang. "Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again / And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend / And then you let her down easy."
"Call your girlfriend / It's time you had the talk / Give your reasons / Say it's not her fault / But you just met somebody new / Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed / Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss / And you just tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again / And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend / And then you let her down easy," Stone, 27, and Rudolph, 43, sang. "Call your girlfriend / It's time you had the talk / Give your reasons / Say it's not her fault / But you just met somebody new / And now it's gonna be me and you."
