Watch George Ezra cover Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’

Earlier today, George Ezra visited Radio 1’s Live Lounge studios to perform a special cover of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’.

Performing on Fearne Cotton’s show, he chose the song because it’s “sassy”. A soulful, complete reinvention, the cover’s really bloody good, and it’s viewable below alongside footage of George fielding email questions from excitable fans.

The best moment from Fearne’s Q&A with George:

Fearne: “Kaitlin says I wish I was George Ezra’s pink socks.”

George: “On my feet…”

Yes George.
