The Killers (opens in new tab) better watch out. We may have hailed their cover of Iggy Azalea's (opens in new tab) "Fancy" nothing short of brilliant (opens in new tab), but we're equally enthused about Kasabian's new take on the unofficial song of 2014.

As guests of Fearne Cotton on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge over the weekend, the British band played their decidedly soothing version of the rap track intermingled with an excerpt of DJ Shadow's haunting "Organ Donor." We'll never knock the Charli XCX-sung chorus on the original, but frontman Tom Meighan's baritone croons are pretty enchanting, we must say.

In addition to soundtracking our Tuesday-that-feels-like-Monday, Kasabian will perform their self-titled debut album (which debuted September 2004) on Friday at this year's iTunes Festival. Watch the band perform their tongue-in-cheek cover, below:
