Um, Harry Styles Covered 'Wild Thoughts' and It's Unbelievable
Starting the petition for a Rihanna and Harry collaboration in 3, 2, 1...
Well, we certainly never expected Harry Styles to be singing this song.
Earlier this week Harry performed in BBC Radio 1's famous Live Lounge as a last-minute replacement for The Killers and we were impressed that he had a cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' ready to go but it turns out he had a back-up too.
Along with 'The Chain' (which sounded amazing, by the way), the 'Two Ghosts' singer cranked out a sexy, rockier version of Rihanna and DJ Khaled's 'Wild Thoughts' and we are a little obsessed with it.
We The Best music
DJ Khaled
I don't know if you could take it
Know you wanna see me nakey, nakey, naked
I wanna be your baby, baby, baby
Spinning and it's wet just like it came from Maytag
White girl wasted on that brown liquor
When I get like this, I can't be around you
I'm too lit to dim down a notch
'Cause I could name some thangs that I'm gon' do
Wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Let's go!
I hope you know I'm for the takin'
You know this cookie's for the baking
Kitty, kitty, baby give that thing some rest
'Cause you done beat it like the '68 Jets
Diamonds ain't nothing when I'm rockin' with ya
Diamonds ain't nothing when I'm shinin' with ya
Just keep it white and black as if I'm ya sista
I'm too hip to hop around town out here with ya
I know I get
Wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Ayy, uh-huh, uh-huh
I heard that pussy for the taking
I heard it got these other niggas goin' crazy
Yeah, I treat you like a lady, lady
Fuck you 'til you're burned out, cremation
Make it cream, yeah, Wu-Tang
Throw that ass back, bouquet
Call me and I can get it juicy
I can tell you're gone off the D'Ussé
Careful mama watch what you say
You talking to me like ya new bae
Girl, you talking like you tryna do things
Now that pipe got her running like she Usain, baby
You made me drown in it, ooh touché, baby
I'm carrying that water, Bobby Boucher, baby
And you know I'ma slaughter like I'm Jason
Bust it, why you got it on safety?
White girl wasted on brown liquor
I probably shouldn't be around you
'Cause you get wild, wild, wild
You looking like there's nothing that you won't do
Ayy, girl that's when I told you
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
DJ Khaled (DJ Khaled, DJ Khaled, DJ Khaled)
Wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild
When I'm with you, all I get is wild thoughts
He slows down Rihanna's quick flirtatious flow for the sultry rendition, which interestingly omits Bryson Tiller's verse as Harry does his best Rihanna impression.
'Kitty, kitty, baby / Give that thing some rest'? Well, he doesn't quite go that far, but Mr. Styles' cover is seriously sexy, just in a slightly more inadvertent way that the original.
With Rihanna still to perform 'Wild Thoughts', we can't help but wonder if she'd embrace an arrangement like this if Bryson Tiller wasn't with her to duet because her voice would sound insane if she did.
For now we'll enjoy Harry's lush cover, which should honestly be put on iTunes immediately. Can that be arranged?

WATCH HARRY STYLES PERFORM 'TWO GHOSTS' BELOW
Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
But it's not you and it's not me
Tastes so sweet, looks so real
Sounds like something that I used to feel
But I can't touch what I see
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
The fridge light washes this room white
Moon dances over your good side
And this was all we used to need
Tongue-tied like we've never known
Telling those stories we already told
'Cause we don't say what we really mean
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We don't see what we used to see
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
I'm just trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
