Blur might be gearing up for a huge concert in London's Hyde Park but that hasn't stopped them from allowing US boyband Big Time Rush to sample one of their most famous songs.

'Windows Down' by the tween-friendly band, who have toured the US with One Direction, samples Blur's hit 'Song 2'. It's fair to say they do it in a less than subtle way too.

This is the second time 'Song 2' has been sampled by an American pop act with Ke$ha taking the famous "Woo hoo!" chorus line and implementing it in her imaginatively titled track 'Woo Hoo' earlier this year.

Yesterday saw Blur confirm that they will be performing their new single 'Under The Westway' live next Monday (July 2) and streaming it via Twitter.

Check out Big Time Rush - Windows Down below, now.
