This isn't the first time Arcade Fire have performed surprise covers on their recent 'Reflektor' tour. Prince, The Smiths and many more have all made the set list on recent dates but at a recent show in LA, the band took on the ubiquitous 'Axel F'.

Better known as the 'Beverley Hills Cop' theme, Arcade Fire have been covering songs that reflect the local sounds of their tour dates, hence why they played that in LA.

The moment was captured on video for you to watch below, as well as their performance of 'Normal Man' straight after.
