Just in time for International Women's Day, an all-female a cappella group from Oxford University have dropped an empowering cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

Cyndi Lauper's 1983 version of the song — written by American musician Robert Hazard — might be your favourite Saturday night dance anthem, but this feminist reboot by The Oxford Belles could give Lauper a run for her money.

The Oxford Belles' version of the song features a feminist rap about smashing glass ceilings. "Can you stand over there and cover your eyes cuz Imma break glass ceilings, is that a surprise?" raps one of the Belles.

The video not only features the a cappella group's mellifluous singing, it also shows leading Oxford academics holding signs with feminist messages for International Women's Day. "Why does the term career woman exist when the term career man never has?" reads a sign by lecturer Mary McMenamin.

Happy International Women's Day!
