Never one to play it safe, M.I.A. made the most of her performance on Tuesday's "Late Night with David Letterman," where she sang "Born Free" to promote her just-released new album, "/\/\ /\ Y /\."

As if the single's violent music video didn't prompt enough chatter, M.I.A. brought along a team of look-a-likes, all coiffed, styled and accessorized identical to the controversial singer.

Before the show, M.I.A. tweeted, "gold slippers check! white sockx check! camo jeans check! tie die tee check! shades check! red lips check! middle finger check!" Letterman's response to the onstage antics? "Happy Halloween!"
