Foo Fighters recently participated in Jo Wiley’s BBC Radio 2 Sofa Session and brought some disco with them. Foo Fighters covered Bee Gees' 1976 hit "You Should Be Dancing", and it rules way harder than it has any right to.
Foo Fighters vocalist and guitarist Dave Grohl said he wasn't exactly expecting to cover the song, but thanks to the recent Bee Gees documentary, the topic came up.
“We’ve been going down to our studio every day and filming things and recording things, and this one day we had our list of things we were supposed to do and it said, ‘Record a cover song for Jo.’
“And while we were having this conversation somebody said, ‘Hey, have you seen that Bee Gees documentary?’ And I was like the last person on earth – the only person that hadn’t seen it! So I was like, ‘Why don’t we just do a Bee Gees song?’ And someone was just like, ‘Okay… how do you wanna do it?!’ And I said: ‘Well, let’s do it like the Bee Gees.’
“We started recording the instrumental track, and then I thought, ‘Okay, well I’m gonna go out and sing it…’ and let me tell you: I have never, ever in my life sung like that, but it was the easiest song I have ever sung in my entire life! I sang the song, and it was like six minutes and I was done. I should have been singing like this for the last 25 years!”
Check out a tease of the song below, and listen to the full thing over at the BBC.
