Boy band One Direction recruited a hotel maid to give voice to one of the new tracks they are recording for their third album.
The band needed a female voice for one of their new songs, so singer Harry Styles convinced a worker at one of the hotels they were staying at as part of their 'Take Me Home Tour' to participate, reported Sun Online.
"We needed a, you know, a groan on one of the songs. So I asked a lady at the hotel to record the 'Urgghhhhh!' She was nervous at first but soon got into the swing of it," Styles said.
The group, which also includes Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne, have been on the road since February and don't have time to stop off at recording studios, so have been laying down vocals in hotel rooms along the way.
