Kurstin x Grohl: The Hanukkah Sessions 2021: Night Two

Once upon a time, two nice Jewish boys from Queens named Jeffery Hyman and Thomas Erdelyi changed the world forever with their music….. as Joey and Tommy Ramone!

GABBAI GABBAI HEY!

Ladies and gentlemen….It’s the Ramones!

Blitzkreig Bop!

The first drummer for the Ramones couldn't keep up with the quick tempos they were trying to achieve in the music so their manager Tommy Ramone (having never played drums before) sat down at the kit and was able to play as fast and as solid as the band needed him to. The original drummer ended up being the singer, Joey Ramone, while Tommy continued to manage and produce from behind the drum set.

Foo Fighters are more than just a band. They're humorous, adventurous, and FUN!

Just when I think I can't love Dave Grohl anymore, he comes back with the Hanukkah Sessions. Christmas wish granted. Thank you, Dave!!!

[d.williams]

THIS is what Dave Grohl was put on earth for!!!...

Always celebrate your heroes...good one Dave, Joey would be more than proud...👍✌️🤓😎

[toybarons]

This needs to be a new tradition. I'm loving it!

Two Jewish guys composing a song (later to become a Punk all time classic) that carries the word "Blitzkrieg" in its title. Dear Universe, your humor is right up my alley....
👍😁👍

As a Jew who grew up on Long Island back in the day, I had no idea that joey and Tommy Ramone were Jewish. I always assumed they were Italian. You learn something new every day. And yeah, this video was terrific!

That Foufoune Électrique shirt is the crown jewel of this video for me. Québec loves you Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters <3

[RockhoundBlack]

Pat Smear be like: You finally played the whole song?!

[jill]

This may be my favorite Ramones cover ever.

[utubeaccess]

Haha, old Bar Mitzvah footage, classic! 🥰

[mayramorales]

Is there anything you CANT do? Dammit David! Love you to

[kusattaunari]

As a Montrealer, kudos for the Foufounes Électriques T-shirt. As a melophile, this was a great rendition of a punk favourite!

[Drnaynay]

Dave Grohl serenading me with Chanukah songs. Life is good.

[eddyrizk]

This may be unpopular but I like this better than the original. Dave's singing is perfect tone and the Kurstin's keyboard use takes the music to another level.
Soo good 😎

The rest of the world is thinking. Why can't the Foo Fighters sound this raw instead of so freaking polished. We like it raw and in your face.

[TheWindash]

At this point I'll like the video before watching it. This 2nd wave of hannukah songs are beyond great

[MikeMooseAtkin]

LOVE the Foufounes Electriques shirt on Dave. Great memories of attending a lot of shows at that venue in the 80s & 90s. I even performed there with my band back in the day.

[karenh]

One of my favorite Ramones songs! And Dave with he obligatory T-shirt. Night 2 is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[chriskriskovic]

Whether a creative spin like night 1 or playing a straight cover like night 2, always well done. Great job!
