Lizzo dropped news this past weekend that she's recorded her own take on "Sexy Lady," a 2005 hit from D.C. go-go act UCB. The announcement set off a firestorm of debate among listeners and locals from the D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia (DMV) area. The 38-year-old shared previews across several online spots, calling it the summer's defining track.

The performer posted a clip on Instagram where she moved to the beat on an outdoor terrace while her rendition blared. "THE SONG OF THE SUMMER IS HERE ???? D.C. U IN THE BUILDING????" she wrote. "JUNE 5TH- PRE ORDER NOWWWWWWW."

This arrives as go-go marks half a century. It first surfaced in the mid-to-late 1970s with continuous performances, drums, and audience interaction.

UCB stands for Uncalled 4 Band. They got together in the late 1990s and rose as trailblazers in modern go-go. The crew hit the road with Wale and took the stage during the MTV Video Music Awards when "Sexy Lady" dominated the 2000s. Listeners from DMV have been torn since she made the announcement.
