Watch: Retro Cover of Ellie Goulding's "Burn" is Smokin' Hot

The ubiqitous song "Burn" (aka the "yeah we got the fiah fiah fiah" song) is—like much of Ellie Goulding's music—pretty damn toe tappin'. But at this point, one could be forgiven for feeling fatigue—or sheer nausea—at its incessant radio airplay.

Enter this vintage cover of "Burn" by Scott Bradlee and the Postmodern Jukebox ("an alternative history of pop music!") featuring a trio of fiercely talented ladies giving the ditty an old-school doo-wop treatment. The clever little cover adds new, ahem, "fire" to the song at the exact moment it needed it most. Now watch and marvel at the tight harmonies, spiffy choreo, rocking sax and sass-yer-pants-off red skirts. Oh, and bonus points for the fire extinguisher on the piano. Pyro humor, yes!
