What If Reba McEntire Sang The Hook On Iggy Azalea's Fancy?

(Radio.com) What if Iggy Azalea didn't ask Charli XCX to sing the hook on her song, "Fancy" but offered it up to Reba McEntire instead? Thanks to the Internet gods, we have our answer with a one-of-a-kind mash-up of Azalea's "Fancy" and McEntire's cover of Bobbie Gentry's song of the same name off her 1990 album, Rumor Has It.

In theory this shouldn't work (of course, we say that about most successful mashups), but Azalea's swagger apparently knows no bounds. Even with fiddles ablazing, Azalea still manages to convince us that she is the I-G-G-Y, name in bold, southern twang and all. And Reba, well, she doesn't let us down either, lending back-up to Iggy as she takes down the self-righteous hypocrites. Reba is clearly a boss.

Azalea made history this week by doing the Beatles did nearly 50 years ago. According to Billboard, the rapper joins the Fab Four as the only acts to rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 hits. Azalea currently holds the top spot with "Fancy," off her recently released debut, The New Classic and takes the runner-up spot with Ariana Grande's "Problem."

Check out the mash-up here.
