Lorde's hit song "Royals" has many renditions on YouTube, but none quite like Bruce Springsteen's. The Boss sang the New Zealand pop star's single Saturday at his concert in Auckland, N.Z. Bruce played it without the band, and he rocked it with an acoustic guitar and harmonica. The video hit YouTube Saturday morning.

The 64-year-old rock icon paid homage to the 17-year-old pop sensation with her song. One may wonder if this Bruce rendition will be as viral as his performance with Jimmy Fallon in January, a Chris-Christie-traffic-jam-scandal take on "Born to Run."
