Usher strapped on a bass guitar at BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge and surprised the crowd with a cover of Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks.”

“This is one of my favorites, and it goes a little something like this,” the hip hop artist said before launching into last year’s hit.

The original version of “Pumped Up Kicks” was No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 last year.
