Technotronic, sipping gin and tonic

The group behind this...



(surely one of the most-featured-in-TV-and-movies songs ever?)

...and this...



...and this....



...and whose members have other projects including, in Klas Åhlund's case, being one of Robyn's main collaborators on Robyn (as well as a songwriter for many other fantastic songs)...

...that group, Teddybears, is back.

They released "Get Mama A House" as a tie-in with an advertising campaign this summer, but from what my quickly fading Swedish language skills are telling me, they have a new single, "Rocket Scientist," released as Teddybears & Eve, out soon, to be followed by an album of the same title in March or April. It will also feature Cee-lo and Sean Paul...once again, I think. You can listen to "Rocket Scientist" here.

The few comments I've read compare it to "Automatic Lover," and the "pop-rock band playing a sci-fi song with highly processed vocals" similarity makes that a pretty apt comparison. It doesn't really have a big singalong-friendly moment and, despite the touches of fun and humor sprinkled throughout it, it's more restrained than I'd like from a lead single, but, as you'd expect from the Teddybears, there's something that makes you return to it.
