Video: Bruce Springsteen's cover of Lorde's 'Royals' is every bit as good as it should be

We'd never have put The Boss and Kiwi teenager Lorde in the same bracket, but thankfully the great man did with this excellent cover of one of the biggest pop hits of 2013.

Springsteen performed this without his band at a show in Auckland over the weekend, and it's already been watched over 100,000 on the old YouBox.
