Internet sensations Toyah and Robert Fripp have posted a new video in their ongoing but intermittently updated series of Sunday Lunch performances.

The new episode finds the frisky pair – both sporting the kind of spectacular headresses often worn by Toyah in her 80s post-punk heyday – exploring new musical pastures, ditching their traditional reliance on classic rock covers to produce a rousing version of Bikini Kill's 1993 riot grrrl anthem Rebel Girl and renaming it Sunday Lunch Riot Girl.

"Yes!" exclaims the King Crimson man as the song finishes. "It's Rebel Girl at Toyah and Robert's revolutionary Sunday lunch!"

"And I want to try your clothes on!" adds Willcox, alluringly.
