Another night of Hanukkah, another cover of a Jewish artist from Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters producer Greg Kurstin.

Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin Drop Mountain Cover for Third Night of Hanukkah
Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters producer Greg Kurstin started a new holiday tradition this year: covering a song by a Jewish artist every night of Hanukkah. They kicked off the Hanukkah Sessions Thursday night with a cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” and followed it with Drake’s “Hotline Bling” on Friday. To celebrate the festival of lights’ third night, the duo took on Mountain’s 1970 hard rock classic “Mississippi Queen.” Despite it just being Grohl and Kurstin, the duo nail the version that would have made Leslie Weinstein, er Leslie West, proud. “Talk about making a mountain out of a mohel … named Leslie Weinstein at his bris, the singer of our next band built a wailing wall of guitar as Leslie West. Check out our take on a track from Leslie’s monolithic ...

After kicking off the festival of lights with a rousing cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin returned for the second night with a bit of a surprise selection: Drake’s “Hotline Bling.” “You might be surprised to learn that this superstar is… Canadian. He’s never hidden the fact that he was M.O.T. … so a generation of Jewish parents could tell their kids “if Drake took the time to study for HIS Bar Mitzvah, you can too.” Ladies and gentlemen…challah at your boy….DRAKE!” the duo said of the song. If you ever wanted to see Grohl sing Drake lyrics and dad dance with a menorah, you’re in luck and you can see it happen below. [embedded content] On Wednesday night, Grohl and Kurstin announced instead of doing a single Christmas song, they’d be joining forces to cover ...
