Ever wanted a classical version of Rihanna’s Rude Boy? Well, you got it!

Australian classical music group Aston have been creating some major buzz online after covering Lady GaGa’s hit “Telephone”, and now they’re building on it with a stunning rendition of Rihanna’s worldwide #1 smash “Rude Boy”.

A classical makeover for “Rude Boy” is probably the last thing that comes to mind when you listen to the original song, but it works, and it’s on iTunes to!

Aston are made up of 6 students from Australia’s Conservatorium of Music, who all fall somewhere between the tender ages of 21 and 23. They started the group as a side project for a bit of fun, which quickly led to them building up a huge fanbase online and on the Aussie music scene, scoring them a record deal in the process.

They’re now recording a pop-classical album due for release later this year. I hope it’s a covers album!

    LOL, the smirks with all of the musicians are priceless knowing what lyrics accompany it.

    ….Hmmm, now all we need is an opera/classical singer to add vocals to it. Possibly Charolette Church? LOL, she was very popular in the U.S. back in the late 90s for her angelic image and voice, but now since she’s become a REAL “good girl gone bad” this could work for her!
