The Swedish band Teddybears first released "Cobrastyle" in 2004 off their album "Fresh" before it was put out as a single in 2006. A music video was also released, where the group is seen wearing their signature bear masks, living out a vintage rock star fantasy. It received considerable praise, with comments ranging from "This is the apex of music and/or cinema" from @michaelupton3106 to "This beat is so damn infectious," from @pontiacGXPfan. But the track's journey didn't end there, as it has been called upon for a surprisingly wide range of projects.
Whether within a drama about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried) or a trailer for the guinea pig spy adventure "G-Force," "Cobrastyle" has proven to be one of those songs that pair well with almost any form of media. While commercials for Volvo and the 2006 edition of WWE SummerSlam are great examples, the tune can also be heard in notable comedies like "Date Night," "Employee of the Month," and "The Benchwarmers." Even popular shows like "Chuck" and "Teen Wolf" decided to kick things off with the Teddybears track in the mix. Other series, like "Grey's Anatomy," felt the song would help open Season 3, Episode 6 ("Let the Angels Commit") during a surgery scene to help drive home the narrator's message about a surgeon's commitment. Big-name video game franchises like "FIFA" and "Forza Motorsport" have also helped keep "Cobrastyle" relevant.
Based on its prolific track record, there is no denying the song has proven to be appropriate for almost any occasion many times, and it will be exciting to see where else fans hear "Cobrastyle" in the future.
