Last we checked in with Howlin’ Pelle, he detailed the Swedes’ escape from their garages in April, stopping into the studio with the Raconteurs and doing some guest belting on a track for Timbaland. Here’s what Howlin’ Pelle blogged about filming the Timbo video:

Shot video for the Timbaland song we are guesting on. It was an unbelievably LA experience. We basically ate catering, stood in front of a green screen, hung out with friendly female wrestling stars who showed us a few moves and managed to keep it Hives through the day. All of this at Universal studios.

The clip takes the Hives and Timbaland for a trip through Sin City, and as promised, the friendly female wrestlers ply on the moves. Clever Pelle doesn’t actually climb in the ring with the femmes, but we’re sure he took a tutorial at the wrap party.

    Well that was umm…underwhelming, to say the least.

  3. WWE? Timbaland and The Hives are pimping professional wrestling? Jesus…

  4. Aw I love the Hives! Pelle is so cute.

    Nope, didn’t work. Agree with Jrawls, Timbaland should just go back to the shadows.

    I was expecting worse. Though I don’t think I’d be playing it anytime soon either. But they can totally do without those slutty chicks.

    This album was really fucking horrible.

    Really, though.

    I really, really don’t like Timb as a rapper.
    It’s good to see the Hives up and around though.
    I love them so much…why, I’m not sure, but they just make me happy.
    The song is a little underwhelming. Could have been better given what Timb is really capable of.
