The British band that had everyone in the ’90s quoting their hit “I’m Too Sexy” — which Swift samples in her new single “Look What You Made Me Do” — are back with a rocking mash-up of the two songs.

Kicking off with the “Sexy” lyrics before Swift’s epic chorus drops, the band’s recording features electric guitars and live drums, making this mash-up harder than both “Sexy” and “Look.”

“We were in the studio with a new drummer and bass player, trying out some new ideas and different beats,” band member Fred Fairbrass told [_Billboard_](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7966059/right-said-fred-taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-im-too-sexy-mash-up-video) of the track. “We started playing ‘I’m Too Sexy’ and it just morphed into a live mash-up with Taylor Swift’s ‘Look What You Made Me Do.’ It sounded great, so we decided to record and film it!”

Following’s Swift’s release of the lead single from her [forthcoming album _Reputation_](http://ew.com/music/2017/08/23/taylor-swift-new-album-reputation-release-date/) in August, the group indicated on Twitter that they were [thrilled she sampled them](http://ew.com/music/2017/08/25/right-said-fred-taylor-swift-look-what-you-mad-me-do/). “Thank you @taylorswift13 ❤️ what a marvelous reinvention!” the band tweeted.

Listen to the mash-up above, and then go [behind the scenes of Swift’s video shoot](http://ew.com/music/2017/09/20/taylor-swift-lwymmd-video-behind-scenes-clones/).
