Thee Indie-Pop Trio Turns A Queer Crush Into Live Voltage
Today’s Performance Choice of the Day belongs to indie-pop trio MUNA, who bring their gloriously addictive “Wannabeher” into the SiriusXM studio with all thee attitude, tension and live-wire chemistry intact.
Katie Gavin, Naomi McPherson and Josette Maskin make the performance feel immediate rather than overly polished. Gavin works the song’s clipped phrasing with playful command while McPherson and Maskin keep the arrangement muscular, bright and just rough enough around the edges.
The track appears on MUNA’s fourth album, Dancing on the Wall, released May 8, 2026, and arrives with one of the record’s most wonderfully tangled ideas: admiring someone so completely that attraction and self-projection begin sharing the same mirror.

MUNA have described “Wannabeher” as their own spin on the charged admiration behind Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl”—that especially queer confusion between wanting to become someone, wanting to be with them or enthusiastically accepting both options.
Inside the SiriusXMU Session, the song’s fuzzed-out pop and punk impulse land without unnecessary decoration. The groove stays lean, the guitars bite and Gavin lets each repeated hook build from sly fascination into full-body obsession.
The SiriusXM appearance also found the group performing material from Dancing on the Wall and covering Go West’s “The King of Wishful Thinking.” Yet “Wannabeher” is thee selection that best captures MUNA’s current temperature: sweaty, funny, desirous and completely comfortable letting identity remain deliciously unresolved.
This is MUNA at their best: three musicians locking into the same pulse while leaving enough room for personality to fly loose. No dramatic reinvention is needed. “Wannabeher” already knows exactly how much trouble it wants to cause.
