How else to explain this week's post other than the fact that I couldn't get this music video out of my head? I kept watching it over and over again until eventually I found myself emailing my friends sentences like: "I want to bon appetempt this video." And I guess when you say this kind of thing to people who happen to be talented and hilarious go-getters that will also allow you to take over a room of their house for the afternoon, borrow their clothes, and helpfully shout directions at you while you dance, the below happens—the below being Bon Appetempt's first music video.
Robyn's version:

Hilariously awesome! Hats off to You, Heather, Jeana and Brad! Also, way to nail the nose wipe at the end! xoxox
This is great! Moar music videos.
i'm ready for the second one!!! you are so awesome, amelia! LOVE YOU!
yay!!! your performance is so great! i'll keep the smoke machine warmed up for the sequel :)
HAHAHAHA, this is sooooo awesome!!! You really nailed those killer moves! Wish I could have been around for the practice sessions. Major props to your cinematographer, lighting/set designer, and costume designer! Love it all!
oh yeah, what a great video! seriously makes me want to go clear out the furniture in the living room :)
I have ALSO been obsessed with this song and video -- I love, love, love your interpretation...
Oh my God this is so epic. This is what happens at dinner parties at my house once dinner's over, except that there's usually a lot more falling down.
Agree with Matt. The nose wipe seals the deal. Much better than the original. I can't believe it's not Robin!
OMFG you're awesome :D :D :D
best day of my life!
It makes me smile so I've watched it multiple times. Thrilled that this happened. Want to be at the next one. NOSE WIPE!!! xo
Just: Yes.

Choreography - A ++
Nose wipe - B for Beyond
Your version is better than the original one!!! Ha ha...It is true.

SO CUTE!
Out of control amazing.
i'm speechless.
you rule.
xo
okay...so many things to say about this.
1. the first time i saw this video i actually thought her dancing at one stage (the floor hump, clearly) reminded me of you. WEIRD?
2. i need more of this kind of thing in my life.
3. you are my hero.
I think I love you Ms Amelia.
Awesome AWESOME bon appétempt!
Ground humping and nose wiping deserve an award... not sure what kind but you deserve it regardless! Do it again...
Wow Amerz, this is AMAZING!!!! AH-MAZING!!
Stephanie
umm, I think this could seriously be the next aerobics trend. awesome!
LOVE. I agree, I NEED more of this in my life!
Thanks, everyone! This was so much fun! Super glad the ground hump and nose wipe are being well received -- really didn't want to botch those!
p.s. Robyn is @ the Hollywood Bowl this October. Who's with me!?
AWESOME!!!! Totally wonderful. You rock!!!!
Amazing. I haven't been able to get this out of my head ALL WEEKEND! Thank you.
Incredible. Strong finish. More videos please.
i finally got them synced up so i could watch both at once. hilarious!
BWAAAAAAAAAAHHH HA HA HA HA!!
Amazing. This is the best thing I have ever seen!! I love it! You are awesome!
Two things come to mind: First, how fast can this go viral? Second, perhaps here's your excuse to invest in platform sneakers? Really, there are not enough people sporting that fashion.
tiny disco ball really made it for me. i'm totally inspired!!!
This made my morning!
I love this SO MUCH.
SECRET BEST FRIEND! I DO THIS DANCE EVERY WEEKEND!
is it weird if i want to watch this all the time?!?!
OMG; this is hilarious! I love Robyn and her "call your girlfriend" video is amazing.. I was at a concert w her the other day and she's soo cool!
Good job ;)

OH MY GOD, you are fucking awesome. I love this so so so much.
hiiiiii! loving this all day! my soundtrack!
Major kudos for this. I was pretty much waiting to see if you would do the little back flip thing. Flawless!
Can't STOP!!!
Watched this on Friday and it made my whole weekend better! Now I can't get that song out of my head or the thought of how much fun that must have been to do! Looking forward to the next one. :)
This is AMAZING.
I have had a crappy day from Craptown, and this video made me smile anyway. It was awesome and you did a phenomenal job. THANK YOU :)

I have no idea who you are, but I like your version more! Because...you rock it with sauce in a 200 sq ft NYC apt, and you shoot in better light :) Cheers!

This is incredible. You and your friends are seriously incredible. I love it.
I am addicted! I just watched it again!
nice video .
watching this was the best part of my day...possibly my week...you are hilarious!!
Enhorabuena . Eres un blog notable. El mio fue nombrado así en el año 2007, aun sigo escribiendo ilusionado.
Oh my god..this is brilliant!!! hahah...ur awesome!
Your version was so funny! But why have I not heard this song before? Either the song is very old or I am very out of touch....
You just gave me an idea for how I'm going to spend next sat
How fantastic. Just found your blog and this is the first one I read. I might be hooked already. How fun!
Beyond amazing.
Nice yellow curtains.
They make the different.
Definitely.

This was great! Much better that the original! How many times did you start laughing in the middle of it?
Like all of your blogging, this would be way better if you were a gay guy. (I originally thought you were, when I first read a couple of posts, maybe because I was linked from Lottie & Doof.) Robyn's not really for straight people...
You have caused a serious obsession at our house with your fabulous video! It involves turning on your video & family members imitating YOU! We think you are better than Robyn! Can't wait to see what Greg James at BBC Radio does with his version on Friday!
@racingyogagirl awwww, that is so fun/hilarious to hear!! And thanks for pointing me to the fact that Greg James is doing a version. I will certainly check that out come Friday!
This was amazing! I definitely subscribing! x
I just found your blog through "Blog of Note" and I'm an instant fan. You're awesome. That video was pretty cool, and your interpretation? Pure genius. You totally nailed it. Thanks for making me smile, laugh, and want to dance! Keep rocking it out.
hahaha,
yours was waaayy better than the original!
;)
This was absolutely amazing! My friend and I have been dyingg to learn this dance (she was in a cast)
Hahaha awesome video! You did a great job! I enjoyed it! :)
Genuinely one of the best things I've seen online. Ever. I now have plans to clear a room in my house and do just this!! xx
OMG I love this. Amelia! Teach that dance to me!!!
I'm a little late on this, but I think you're my new favorite person.
Have you seen this? Not nearly as fun as yours, but lovely voices!

@anonymous -- that's so rad! thanks for sharing.
This is to just to give you...your 100th comment!! Does it count???
I seriously love this, makes me happy just watching!!! YAY
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
Might just watch old BA videos for the rest of the day...
Oh my gosh. I just came to your space via The Wednesday Chef and have taken the grand tour this afternoon. Pretty terrible 'cause I need to be clocking hours. I have danced in the privacy my own home to this music video on countless occasions. It just makes me happy to know you're out there.
Great!!!! Totally wonderful. You rock!!!!
The sweater is pretty special. I was looking for one online and happened upon this video, which I think you inspired!!
