"Hurra Hurra Die Schule Brennt" (English: "Hooray, Hooray, the School Is Burning") is a song originally recorded by German band Extrabreit in 1980 and remixed in 1990. The title of the song is derived from the 1969 West German film Hurra, die Schule brennt!

Busted Cover

In 2003, the song was covered by English pop punk band Busted, who released it as a single in Continental Europe as an alternative to the British and Irish only release Sleeping with the Light On. It was included on the German 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 its video and the track subsequently appeared as B-sides to CD2 and the cassette releases of "Crashed the Wedding" respectively, after fans demanded it be released in the UK.
