Following the release of his third studio album, Harry’s Home, Harry Styles took to BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge where he covered Wet Leg’s “Wet Dream.”
At the BBC studio on May 23rd, Styles played four songs ahead of his One Night Only show at Brixton Academy in London. One of those songs was a cover of Isle of Wight duo Wet Leg’s anthemic punk tune, “Wet Dream.” The spicy tune comes from the duo’s hit debut self-titled album, which came out earlier this year.
Styles stayed pretty true to the original, while his distinctive vocals offered up a quintessential Harry Styles twist. The flashy performance is definitely a must-watch as Styles strums along to the gritty anthem.

Wet Leg’s highly anticipated self-titled debut is a playful, infectious collection of buzzing indie rock tunes and gritty punk anthems. Wet Leg is a pretty tongue-in-cheek collection, as Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers offer up everything from hilarious innuendos on “Wet Dream” to seething insults on “Ur Mom.”
“Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny,” Teasdale explains. “As a woman, there’s so much put on you, in that your only value is how pretty or cool you look. But we want to be goofy and a little bit rude. We want to write songs that people can dance to. And we want people to have a good time, even if that might not be possible all of the time.”
The album features previously released singles like “Ur Mom,” “Oh No,” and “Angelica.”
