In Grey's Anatomy The Funk
I’m pretty sure indie superstars Rilo Kiley have been on Grey’s Anatomy before — possibly multiple times.
But I heard them play my favorite song off their okay-ish new album* the other week and it made me happy. The song is called Breakin’ Up (on this show, we can only wish) and is fit for a disco queen. In any case, this is just an excuse to post a clip of Jenny Lewis and company performing the song live on MTVU.
It’s not Jenny’s best vocal performance, but she does rock the cowbell and white tights. She does get some help from some awesome backing singers, though.**
*it’s pretty good, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t know if they’ll give us another The Execution of All Things
**I love footnotes!
where is the clip?!
i agree with your assessment of both the album and the song.
Oops… I don’t know why embedding can be a pain in the ass sometimes…
I don’t think it’s you…the mtv website doesn’t seem to want to play the musical clips (just the interview ones).
I love that song too. I read some pretentious review of the album that said ‘Breakin’ Up’ sounded like it belonged in a tampon commercial. That would be the best tampon commercial ever.
