R3HAB and Amy Shark have teamed up for a banger remake of a song you'll know and love from the '90s.
The single is called "Sway My Way" and is a cover of New Zealand singer Bic Runga's "Sway" that featured on her brilliant 1997 Album "Drive".
When it was originally released the song saw some success peaking at number 7 in New Zealand and 10 on Australian charts and won awards including "Single of the Year".
Most memorable was its inclusion in '90s pop culture, in 1998 when it was featured in the mega-hit TV show Dawson's Creek and then the next year in a little film you might remember called "Americal Pie" (again later in American Pie Reunion).
Let us know what you think of the cover, or is the original always the best.
Now excuse me while I go rewatch Season 2 Episode 2 of Dawson's Creek "Crossroads", they've forgotten Pacey's 16th birthday and Jen is getting into trouble again.

Have a laugh as Robert 'the Bird Whisperer' Irwin encounters an adorable curlew with anger management issues
Australia Zoo has uploaded a very funny video of Robert Irwin trying to deal with one tiny but mighty curlew called Emily.
She's got anger issues, and Robert's here to teach her some manners in a series of video blogs on social media.
Robert tries to introduce the clip but Emily nips at him and pulls at his hair, resulting in a string of ow’s and oh’s and ah's from Robert.
“It's alright if you’re angry, it’s okay, but there’s better ways to deal with it than to lash out,” Robert tells Emily. She responds by giving him major side eye then coming at him for some more bites.
Robert keeps his cool throughout the fun clip, and even asks Emily if she wants to say anything.
We get cute curlew sounds…. and undoubtedly some strong bird language.
Use your words Emily, but not like that!
Stay til the end, when you’ll see if Robert’s managed to help her become a mild mannered curlew.
It's an Emily vibe
Of course, with that sassy but loveable personality, Emily has become a bit of a superstar and is now featured on a clothing range celebrating her "Emily vibes".
In an Instagram post, Robert explained how Emily came to be hanging out with him.
"She showed up one day at one of our remote conservation properties in outback Australia. Even though she is a wild bird, she immediately formed a bond with the humans that she interacted with and consistently followed us around for hours on end. But sometimes, she wakes up and chooses violence, promptly attacking for no real reason. She has no eggs to defend, just some serious anger management issues."

This fancy Friday night cocktail is hiding more than a few spooky secrets!
Here’s another illusion to test your imagination.
When Instagram user kitsnic took a quick snap of her Friday night cocktail to send to a friend, it revealed some spooky spirits - and we’re not just talking alcohol content here!
Thanks to the angles of the glass, the background and the lighting, she said she could see at least two creepy creatures hiding inside the drink.
But we can see at least four creatures! It’s a universe in a glass.
There’s a ghost with red eyes, a twisted face and a creature that looks half dog, half sea lion. Bonus points if you see the elegant red cat.
Can you spot them?
If you can see them all, congratulations, you’ve got a very vivid imagination!
If you can’t… that’s okay too. Maybe a drink is just a drink.
Here's where they're hiding
We've outlined them below, in case you're still struggling to see them.
The ghost with red eyes
This Casper the Unfriendly Ghost is on the very left of the glass. It almost looks like it’s waving hello.
The twisted face
This one’s pretty creepy, not the face you’d want to see in the middle of the night or indeed in the middle of sipping a fancy cocktail!
The dog-seal
To us, the dog face is obvious (and it looks pretty cute, almost like a Westie) but it’s on a weird legless body, kind of like a seal. A real monster mashup.
The red cat
We didn’t see this one at first, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It’s an elegant creature amongst the rest, almost ethereal and otherworldly.
Did you find them all? Or did you find other ones hidden amongst the shapes?

Netflix has given us a first look at the film adaption of the musical based on the best-selling book by Roald Dahl "Matilda".
Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir) is a little girl with big curiosity, a sharp mind and a vivid imagination — and the worst parents in the world. While her parents (Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough) content themselves with trashy TV and dodgy money-making schemes, she loves to lose herself in the pages of her beloved books. Where they are loud, selfish and unkind she is a quiet observer, thinking up small and cheeky acts of rebellion and revenge.
On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey (Lashana Lynch), Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales.
Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull (Emma Thompson).
As well as kind Miss Honey, the bright lights among the meanness are the story-loving librarian, Mrs. Phelps (Sindhu Vee), and Matilda’s newfound school friends.
Filled with an overwhelming sense of justice, Matilda dares to take a stand for what is right and teach Trunchbull a lesson she won’t forget.
Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is an inspirational musical tale of an extraordinary girl who discovers her superpower and summons the remarkable courage, against all odds, to help others change their stories, whilst also taking charge of her own destiny. Standing up for what’s right, she’s met with miraculous results.
Directed by Tony Award-winning director Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical), the film is produced by Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan for Working Title, Jon Finn (Billy Elliot), and Luke Kelly of The Roald Dahl Story Company. Screenwriter Dennis Kelly adapts the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production for the big screen, with original music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
