Fun. teamed with Paramore's Hayley Williams for a cover of Gotye's hit single "Somebody That I Used to Know" on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge with Williams joining them via satellite link-up.
"I think it went well," Fun. frontman Nate Ruess told NME. "It was a pretty hectic morning, we were never sure how linking Hayley into the show was going to go, it seemed like a pretty daunting technological task. The fact that we got through it was unbelievable."
Ruess went on to add that although they'd performed onstage many times with Williams, this is the first time they'd arranged something together.
"We've never worked together; she'd always come up and sing with us when we were on tour, so we've sort of worked together."
