Got a lot of bands, got a lot of farm animals with him: Kevin Bacon covers Beyoncé's 'Heated' with his goats

Watch the actor perform an acoustic version of the Renaissance track.

Kevin Bacon ate it, ate it, ate it, ate it, ate it with his cover of Beyoncé's "Heated."

The actor performed an acoustic version of the track from Renaissance, the Grammy winner's euphoric ode to disco and house music, in a video shared on social media Sunday. He was accompanied by his goats for the cover and used the hashtag #GoatSongs. "Hot day, hot song," Bacon wrote. "The goats and I are feeling Heated, @Beyonce. Loving this track."

Bacon regularly shares stripped down covers of pop songs with the hashtag #GoatSongs, including "Late Night Talking" by Harry Styles, "Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo, and "I Bet You Think About Me" by Taylor Swift and Chris Stapleton, many of which feature additional vocals by his daughter, Sosie.

Though best known for his dozens of film and TV roles, Bacon is no stranger to the world of music. He and brother Michael have headlined The Bacon Brothers, a country rock and folk band, since 1995, releasing seven studio albums. They recently released a new five-song EP, titled Erato, last month. The brothers are currently on tour across the U.S., which concludes in late October in California.

The tour comes after Bacon's turn as Owen Whistler, the owner of an LGBTQ conversion camp, in director John Logan's slasher horror film They/Them, which follows a group of teenagers enduring unsettling psychological techniques at the camp while a masked killer runs amok. "John's movie had this great ability to talk about something as serious as a gay conversion camp, but packaged it in this setting of a retro horror movie, which I think helped make it fun and — forgive the pun — campy," Bacon told EW of working on the project.

"I've talked to numerous people who have said this movie reminds them of how they've actually been treated, and I think it's important to see your own experience shown in movies because it lets you know you're not alone," he said. "But the hope is that, since it's framed within a horror movie, it's also accessible to people who aren't LGBTQ, and the big win would be for it to dissuade someone who might see conversion therapy as an actual option. I want them to realize how monstrous it is."
