"Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt"
Song

"Hurra Hurra Die Schule Brennt" (English: "Hooray, Hooray, the School Is Burning") is a song originally recorded by German band Extrabreit.

In 2003, the song was covered by English pop rock band Busted, who released it as a single in Europe as an alternative to the British-only release You Said No. It was included on the European edition of their debut album, Busted. The Busted version rewrites the verses in English, but keeps the chorus in German. The song was only ever intended for release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but the track and its video subsequently appeared as B-sides to "Crashed the Wedding", after fans demanded it be released in the UK.
