An absolute banger of country track inspired by Malala Yousafzaiin a TV show is ass fucking moviesone thing, but an appearance from the Nobel Peace Prize laureate herself in full Beyoncé mode? Find me a better cameo, I dare you.
In Nida Manzoor's highly-awaitedsecond season of We Are Lady Parts, the titular all-female Muslim punk outfit — made up of Amina (Anjana Vasan), Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), Ayesha (Juliette Motamed), Bisma (Faith Omole), and Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse) — not only write a rollicking jam about the Pakistani girls education activist but managed to get Yousafzai on the show.
And friends, it's the cameo of the year.

Let 'We Are Lady Parts' fill it.In Season 2, the band are facing significant hurdles including eviction, a rival band on tour, and the staggering prospect of recording their first album. But in episode 2, the band's vocalist and bassist, Bisma, is in her own personal pickle, after her daughter Imani (Edesiri Okepnerho) is suspended from school for chucking eggs at her teacher — he wanted to remove slavery from the Year 7 curriculum, so, fair enough, Imani.
"I did what Malala would do,” Imani tells her mum. "You know she fights for girls' education every day."
"Malala would not throw eggs at Mr Appleby, Imani!" Bisma responds, deeply dismayed.
But while Bisma is initially concerned by her daughter's whole food-based projectile protest strategy, Imani's stand in advocating her right to learn challenges her mum's understanding of her own rebellion. "You're in a punk band and pretend to be this badass edgelord but you know what you are? You're a people pleaser," Imani says.
Freaked out by her reaction to Imani's demonstration, Bisma's experience inspires the band to write a song: "Malala Made Me Do It". It's an absolute series highlight, as big a deal as the band's unforgettable track "Voldemort Under My Headscarf!"from Season 1 but more biographical.
They named her Malala
Malala Yousafzai
Rode into town and made the Talibanis cry
Born in Swat Valley up in northern Pakistan
Advocating for the rights of the woman
Nobel Prize at 17
The baddest bitch you’ve ever seen
Cross your heart and hope to die
It’s Malala Yousafzai
Nothing could stop her
Not the bullet that she took
She cried "One pen and one child and one teacher and one book"
She headed for adventure like her brother Frodo did
Prizoner of Azkaban got nothin' on this kid
Noble, wise, and so serene
The baddest bitch you’ve ever seen
Cross your heart and hope to die
It’s Malala Yousafzai
Stole biscuits from the staffroom
Malala made her do it
Skipped choir to chase the boys
Malala made her do it
Hidin' in the girls' loos
To while away those Monday blues
Malala made her do that too
It’s Malala Yousafzai
But if these Western stylings from our beloved punk feminists aren't enough, Yousafzai herself makes a superb cameo in the episode, channelling her inner Beyoncé and riding into a full-on Cowboy Cartermoment.
In a fantasy moment during the song, Yousafzai appears in a surrealist landscape on a fake horse wearing a bewjewelled, fringed cowboy hat over a dupattā, and a gorgeous blue dress. It's a 100 percent stunning moment, seeing the activist glorified among fake cacti and neon clouds in what appears to be a nod to the cover of Beyoncé's latest country album, as the band dance and play the song around her — at one point getting their own fake horses.

Yousafzai told Vogueshe met series creator Manzoor at the premiere for her film Polite Society, and Manzoor reached out to her personally in a letter to get her involved in Season 2 of We Are Lady Parts.
Yousafzai has fiercely advocated for gender equality since she was just 11 years old — at 15, she was shot by the Taliban for speaking up for girls and their right to an education. Now 26, she's not only the youngest Nobel Peace Prize recipient and an Oxford graduate, she stands up for injustice on YouTube, co-authored the book We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls Around the World, and runs her own nonprofit that invests in education programmes to help girls go to school.
She's absolute feminist punk rock in every sense, and her cameo in We Are Lady Partsis pure, warranted, adoration. We'll be singing "Malala Made Me Do It" forever as we throw eggs at school curriculum conservatives, thank you very much.
