In the season finale of _Maya & Marty_, Rudolph and Stone performed an …ahem, pitch perfect cover of Robyn’s dance party anthem “Call Your Girlfriend” accompanied by empty butter tubs. The two stars performed the song barefoot on stage, just two women and their butter tubs. In the video, Rudolph explains that she has been practicing the song ever since she first saw [this YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQoCEvVL57E) of Swedish band Erato performing the song. Their take on the track went viral about five years ago (an eternity in Internet years) but will undoubtedly find renewed interest thanks to Rudolph’s and Stone’s impressive tribute. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4404325/emma-stone-maya-rudolph-robyn-call-your-girlfriend/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4404325/emma-stone-maya-rudolph-robyn-call-your-girlfriend/"},"headline":"Watch Emma Stone and Maya Rudolph Cover Robyn’s 'Call Your Girlfriend' With Butter Tubs","datePublished":"2016-07-13T14:45:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:21.504Z","description":"Move over, Anna Kendrick","url":"https://time.com/4404325/emma-stone-maya-rudolph-robyn-call-your-girlfriend/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Music","Anna Kendrick","Robyn","Emma Stone"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbb522053b5a1ed2b/69876e372dce01e1709dc60a/ap744583521504.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbb522053b5a1ed2b/69876e372dce01e1709dc60a/ap744583521504.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Emma Stone","caption":"Emma Stone","creditText":"Francois Mori—ASSOCIATED PRESS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4404325/emma-stone-maya-rudolph-robyn-call-your-girlfriend/","name":"Watch Emma Stone and Maya Rudolph Cover Robyn’s 'Call Your Girlfriend' With Butter Tubs"}}]}] ```
