Phoebe Bridgers has officially released her cover of Bo Burnham’s ‘That Funny Feeling’, a song she’s been performing on her current North American tour. The studio rendition of the track, which originally appeared on Burnham’s Netflix special Inside, is out on Bandcamp as part of the latest Bandcamp Friday, with all proceeds going to a range of abortion funds in Texas. “This one’s for Greg Abbott,” Bridgers said in a statement. Take a listen below.
Bridgers recorded her cover of ‘That Funny Feeling’ in Los Angeles with Tony Berg, Ethan Gruska, Christian Lee Hutson, Harrison Whitford, Rob Moose, Sebastian Steinberg, Marshall Vore, Nate Walcott, and Maria Taylor. Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska also co-produced it with Bridgers.
Back in August, Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers performed the song together at the Largo in Los Angeles, where no video recording was allowed. “I’m gonna play a song I wish I wrote,” Bridgers said to an audience of 280 people, as Variety noted. “I know I love something when it fills me with rage.”
Earlier this week, Pitchfork reported that Bridgers is being sued for defamation by recording studio owner Chris Nelson, who alleges she “intentionally used her high-profile public platform on Instagram to publish false and defamatory statements.” Bridgers has not yet responded to the suit.
