I have this song stuck in my head that is driving me crazy, but I can’t hear any of the words clearly in my head which makes it worse. What I can remember are bits and pieces from the music video.

The music video starts with a young blonde woman sitting in a chair singing into an old college-style bullhorn. She might be wearing a grey dress, but that may be a false memory. I am pretty sure the singer is Scandinavian. There is a scene I believe with her shadowboxing or fighting someone. There is a scene with her in a bed with some guy. This is currently active singer. I heard the song on Pandora in the past year or two.

I know this isn’t much to go off of, but can anyone name this song and/or singer. Thanks in advance.

Bjork’s [Human Behaviour](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOepheinkCM)?

Thanks for the effort, but it is definitely not Bjork. The singer is nowhere near as popular as Bjork or at least I had never heard of her before hearing the song whereas I am very familiar with Bjork.

Young, blonde, Scandinavian? Possibly something by [Robyn](http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=robyn&oq=robyn&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1840l3193l0l3634l5l5l0l0l0l0l355l1186l2-2.2l4l0)?

Possibly [Dancing On My Own](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcNo07Xp8aQ)? ETA No, that just has the grey dress…
