When’s the last time you did the “Macarena?” (Actually, don’t answer that.) Los Del Río‘s ’90s international smash took over the world. And while the “Political Macarena” that takes place in Swedish electro-pop sibling duo The Knife and art group Ful’s collaboration, entitled “Europa Europa,” might not make this summer’s wedding dancefloor rounds, it has its charms and was created for an important cause.

The dance, choreographed by Dom Dugliga, is featured in the video for The Knife’s rhythmic new single, “För Alla Namn Vi Inte Får Anvånda.” The song itself was crafted for “Europa Europa,” an anti-national cabaret about migration politics.

Like the original “Macarena” dance, the “Political Macarena” features synchronized arm choreo, but it also involves holding hands while lying on the ground and writhing around on the floor, and some intense staring passages and moves that may be borrowed from yoga asanas. Also, you may wanna brush up on your Swedish before you bust these moves.

Ful — a non-gendered queer feminist collective — and The Knife’s song “serves to praise all those hundreds of thousands of people who defy the cameras, the deadly waters, the barbed wire, the violence and the compact political resistance, and make it across the external and internal borders of Europe every year,” according to the project. “Europa Europa” premieres in Almedalen, Sweden, on July 1 and performances will take place throughout Sweden through September leading up to their elections and are free to the public.

Festivals like Governors Ball — which kicks off its first of three days in New York on Friday (June 6) — can sometimes be hard to navigate. There are dozens of performers spread across an entire weekend and four stages, so to make the most of your experience, planning is key.

One way to map out your weekend is with the Governors Ball app, which offers info on merch, food and more. You can also create a custom schedule of which artists you plan on checking out. We decided to take a look at who are the most-scheduled artists so far:

This “Challenge” season’s resident David regularly went up against some Goliaths — and came out on top on more than one occasion — but last night’s episode finally signaled his defeat.

That’s right: After putting up a good fight against Leroy in “Balls In,” Southern charmer Cohutta was sent packing on “Free Agents.” And he blames the loss on the weight difference between himself and the gladiator.

“I don’t mind being an underdog, necessarily, but I do like to see the playing field leveled a little bit,” the “Real World: Sydney” export, who hadn’t appeared on MTV since “The Ruins,” says in the interview clip below. He explains that he hoped to wrestle Leroy to the ground to gain the upper hand in the head-to-head battle, but that blew up in his face — and his slight stature ultimately did him in.

“Looking back on other Challenges, I’ve never went in against anybody my size, on anything,” he tells us. “That’s probably because there’s nobody my size on the damn show.”

Keep your head up, ‘Hutta! We, like your “Free Agents”-watching grandpa, are still big fans.

Usually if Tom Cruise is in an action movie, he’s going to be the one kicking ass. But that’s not entirely true with “Edge of Tomorrow.”

“We came up with the idea of my character being kind of an anti-hero, not a soldier,” Cruise told MTV News on the red carpet for the film. “A coward, and not ashamed of it either.”

So if Cruise spends a lot of the movie as a coward, who does the ass-kicking? Clearly, it’s the one and only Emily Blunt.

“Emily is the one who is a soldier,” Cruise explained, “so you have this very unique relationship.”

And Blunt didn’t just get kill a lot of invading aliens in the sci-fi actioner. She got to kill Cruise, over and over and over again.

“In many violent ways, mercilessly,” Blunt said. “It was really exciting. I would laugh after each take, just at Tom’s face, going ‘Oh c’mon.’ ”

With so many times killing arguably the biggest movie star on the planet, Blunt had to have a favorite.

“I sort of liked the casual one where I just don’t look and I just kind of shoot him like that,” Blunt said. “It’s sort of like, oh God, it’s so boring. I can’t be bothered.”

Get your fill of Blunt killing Cruise and both killing aliens in “Edge of Tomorrow,” in theaters now.

Nicki Minaj has already shared the lyric video for “Pills N Potions,” and during a visit to “Good Morning America” on Friday (June 6), the YMCMB rapper premiered a short teaser for the full clip, which is coming very soon.

We want to celebrate the fact that Nicki is sans wigs, wild costumes and crazy colorful makeup in this new video, because her natural look is just perfection.

In the 47-second snippet, we learn that the Game plays her love interest in the video and apparently they met for the first time on set. Not a bad way to start a friendship.

While you wait for the video to drop, see how Nicki preps for a big show with some backstage footage. Twerking included.

A native of Grenada, a product of Brooklyn, a student of hip-hop. Hi, I'm @neweryork.

When Governors Ball kicks off later today (June 6), one of the first acts to set things off will be Ratking. The New York-based rap trio of Wiki, Hak and producer Sporting Life will be rocking the Gotham Tent on Randall’s Island, where the festival is set to go down, from 2:15-3:00 this afternoon.

The buzzing trio released their debut album, So It Goes, in April. They recently returned from a tour in Europe, and are getting ready to head out on some East Coast dates next week. Before that, though, Wiki spoke with MTV News about how he and the fellas plan to spend the day and are preparing for their first hometown festival.

Getting Out There
“We’re taking a van, I think, so we can show up early. I used to go to Randall’s Island for soccer and sh–. They’d have a lot of [youth] sports out there.”

Tweaking The Set…Slightly
“We’ve just been practicing, getting the set a little bit tighter. Our friend Isaiah, who played saxophone on the album, on ‘Snow Beach,’ is gonna be playing with us.

Our set has been gradually changing. We’ve been adding more songs in, trying new things out. It’ll be pretty standard, but we’ve gotten a lot better since last time we played in New York, so I’m excited to get out there.”

Get The Body And Soul Right
“Usually Hak will drink some tea. I like to drink a little tea before. But, to be honest, I like to smoke before I play. I like to have ...

It’s impossible to separate the popularity of “True Detective” with the quality of the performances in it, especially from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. So much so that part of the anticipation for season two is about seeing what the show is like without them.

We know that the next story will follow three different characters, but that doesn’t mean we’ll never see McConaughey back on the mystery series in a future season.

Look back at how “True Detective” pulled off its amazing long take.

Now that the Emmy season is quickly approaching, the HBO series has reentered the conversation, and in his recent interview with Deadline, McConaughey said that he would consider returning.

“I liked ‘True Detective,’ the whole series and the experience of making it, so much that I’d be open to doing another one now,” he said.

As someone who followed the first season of “True Detective” very closely, I think that while it’s important to get some new blood onto the show next season, at some point McConaughey should return.

Not to undersell the many elements of the show, including Harrelson’s generally underrated performance, Nic Pizzolatto’s smart writing and Cary Fukunaga’s brilliant direction, but the show took off like it did largely because of McConaughey’s performance.

Even in the age of the haunted TV antihero, Rust Cohle didn’t talk like any other character we knew, and the two versions of him, twelve years apart, were only believable because of McConaughey’s commitment to both.

The show’s appeal in its first season ...

On this week’s episode of “16 and Pregnant,” we met Jazmin, a high school senior who was the apple of her parents’ eyes until she broke their house rules with her boyfriend, Dell, and wound up pregnant. Her mother and stepfather were openly disappointed, and even after little Laila arrived, they refused to change any of their strict regulations to accommodate the young couple.

In this bonus scene, Jazmin, who is due any day with her daughter, visits a pumpkin patch with her friend, Kiki. When they spot a crying baby nearby, the mom-to-be gets real about whether she’s up for the new responsibilities life is about to bring.

“I’m not ready, but I have to be ready,” she tells Kiki.

Kiki says she’s looking forward to watching Jazmin mature once Laila is born, and while Jazmin admits that caring for her daughter 24/7 will be a daunting task, she knows “there’s no giving up with your own child.”

“You’re stuck with [Laila] for life,” Kiki says, possibly as if the idea suddenly just occurred to her. “This is a lifetime commitment, even when she’s 40 and you’re…about 50-something!”

Check out the clip, and tune in for two new back-to-back episodes of “16 and Pregnant” starting at 10/9c on Monday.

Tupac Shakur continues to fascinate us. Even 18 years after his untimely death, the prolific Pac is still as captivating as ever.

These days, fans clamor around the plethora of unreleased musical material from the rapper, but earlier this week we were treated to a previously unheard phone conversation. On the call Pac discussed his 1994 Quad Studios shooting, plans to write a book with the late Maya Angelou and his now-classic 1996 album All Eyez On Me.

The conversation was with reformed gang banger Sanyika Shakur, who was known in the street as Kody “Monster” Scott, and was published to YouTube on June 3.

“This was me and Tupac’s first conversation. This was October 18th 1995,” read a message credited to Sanyika, that was posted to the Tupac Facts YouTube page. “I had just gotten out of Pelican a month before, and Pac had been out a couple of days. We did not know we were being recorded. My wife pressed record on the answering machine and unbeknown to either of us, caught some bomb ass history.”

If you’re bummed because you can’t make it out to Governor’s Ball Music Festival this weekend, take heart — you can check out two performances from Blur’s Damon Albarn right now.

Albarn hit up “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” Thursday to perform “Lonely Press Play” from his debut solo album, Everyday Robots, along with Blur cut “This Is A Low.”

The content of said songs might not seem like the most effective bummer-reliever, but trust us, they’ll do the trick.
