London Mayor appeared on Capital FM this morning
London Mayor Boris Johnson has covered Jessie J and Ariana Grande's 'Bang Bang'.
Taking to the airwaves on Capital FM's breakfast show this morning (9 December), the politician read out the lyrics to the hit single over the instrumental track, arguably messing up the diction but giving it a good go none the less.
Unfortunately though Johnson only attempted the chorus, and didn't delve into the lyrical minefield of Nicki Minaj's guest-verse.
This is one of many new versions of the track to surface in recent weeks, after an infamous 'Shreds' rendition of Jessie J's performance appeared online last month.
Johnson's cover of 'Bang Bang' can be seen in all its glory here.
The mayor was appearing on the radio to discuss London's plans for fireworks on New Year's Eve, and the new ticketing system based around the famous display.
Jessie J and Ariana Grande have yet to comment on being covered by the man widely tipped to be the next British prime minister.
