Those kids who went absolutely wild to "Old Town Road" got the best surprise ever.

In case you missed it011 Archives a video of students from Landers Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio enthusiastically singing along to the chart-topping Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus tune went viral earlier this week.

The video was tweeted by the school's principal, Felecia Evans, who said the track was played at the end of the fifth grade talent show. It's wholesome, and it also bangs.

Anyway, fast forward to Wednesday, and the man himself Lil Nas X, real name Montero Lamar Hill, dropped into the school for a surprise performance. It's really thanks to Evans, who, after a brief Twitter exchange with the rapper, told Mashable via email that the two had arranged the visit.

Suitably the kids went crazy for the rapper, who performed his hit track, and Complexposted the video online.

"I saw y'all video, and I knew I had to come," the rapper told the crowd of rather excited children.
