So, I got the inside scoop on Ida Maria's Discover & Download interview from a producer on the show. Turns out your Topshop tour guide showed up at MTV, pretty much straight from the hospital, where she'd been receiving treatment for injuries related to falling down. I don't know much beyond that, but I do know that she toughed it out and pulled off the feature, even though she had a massive black eye. Her totally paraphrased, zoned-out reaction to the whole situation was, "Well? Um? I'll just do it in me sunglasses?" What a badass.
I'm really glad she had those shades handy, because she managed to answer a few very important questions that I'd been wondering about. For one thing, she reveals the meaning of "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked." Apparently it means that she wishes the entire male population of the world was completely naked. All of the time. Sounds like a super awkward and floppy time to me, but then again, I'm not exactly a smart-mouthed British rock star, so what do I know?
Another thing: why does "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked" video look so much like Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out?" Because they were both directed by award-winning Swede, Jonas Odell (I'm From Barcelona, U2), obviously.
Finally, is it a bad idea to drink before a show? Ida Maria says ... YES! So, don't do it. Even if you're super-thirsty. All those pervy details and more are waiting for you in the exclusive interview clip. Watch it below and click here to download a free MP3 of "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked!"
