Out Of The Blue, an all-male student a cappella group, chose to harmonize -- and swish their hips -- to a medley of Shakira songs for their latest video and charity single. Clad in Oxford University blue, their talent is on full display as they cycle through "Hips Don't Lie," "Whenever, Wherever," and "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)."
Despite their "macho exterior," the guys confess on their website to having "a soft spot for giving [their] hips a little exercise." Members not-so-secretly harbor love for Zumba and belly dancing.
And, as luck would have it, their passion for physical and vocal performance paid off. Even Shakira's a fan.
"Hey @ootboxford, we LOVE your a capella Shak medley!" she tweeted Wednesday.
That's a pretty powerful commendation coming from the singer herself.
To top it all off, proceeds from the sale of the medley will benefit the Helen and Douglas House, an Oxford children's hospice currently undergoing a costly renovation.
Which means we get a guilt-free pass to humming this under our breath for the rest of the day.
