Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders has cited Miley Cyrus' version of 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High' as his favourite cover of one of the band's songs.

Cyrus first performed the cover during her MTV: Unplugged performance last year, and it was met with polarised opinions. Since then, it has been a regular feature on the singer's tour setlist.

In an interview with Australian radio station Triple J, the band's drummer and backing vocalist Matt Helders spoke highly of Cyrus' cover.

When asked about his favourite cover of any of the band's songs, Helders said: "I think Miley Cyrus' version of 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High'," which was met with poorly suppressed sniggering from the show's presenters. 

The host then asked, "Are you being sarcastic?" to which the drummer responded: "No, there's some bits in there that I wish we'd have done."

The band went on to cover Tame Impala's 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards' as part of the station's 'Like A Version' show.

Arctic Monkeys are set to headline this year's Reading and Leeds festivals, as well as two headline gigs at London's Finsbury Park. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
