Miley Cyrus is on a mission to free the world of double standards, one breast at a time! Given her relentless activism, it’s only fitting that the 22-year-old contribute a song to Linda Esco‘s Sundance-selected documentary Free The Nipple — a film about a group of women lobbying for their right to go topless in public. She dusts off Melanie Safka‘s ’70s folk anthem “Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma” and gives it a grungy twist.

The Bangerz diva has previously performed the song live, but the studio version is grittier than her usual country-lite interpretation. Miley growls the weary lyrics over a fuzzy guitar, delivering one of her rawest vocals. The cover was reportedly recorded in just two takes with Australian dance outfit Pnau (A.K.A. Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes) this August. Listen to the boob-activist sing “Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma” after the jump.

Is this a good sound for Miley? Have your say in the comments below.
