Beyonce closed out Britain’s venerable Glastonbury Festival Sunday night with what Billboard.com has deemed a “career-defining set.” The R&B/pop songstress performed for an estimated 175,000 people for more than 90 minutes and even appeared via satellite on the BET Awards.

Her set included her solo hits like “Single Ladies,” “If I Were a Boy,” “Telephone” and “Irreplaceable”; Destiny’s Child favorites like “Survivor,” “Independent Women” and “Jumpin’ Jumpin’”; and pieces of various covers, including Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughtta Know” and the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams.”

The cover that seems to be getting the most buzz the day after is her medley of Oklahoma/Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon’s “Sex on Fire” and R&B superstar Prince’s “The Beautiful Ones.”

Check out the KOL part of that mash-up in this YouTube video, and if you are a guy or are watching with one nearby, you’re advised to have your fire extinguisher handy.
