Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin covered Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana” for Night Three of their “Hanukkah Sessions,” where they release a new cover of a song by a Jewish artist for each night of the Festival of Lights. It follows their renditions of Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop” and Lisa Loeb’s “Stay (I Missed You).”
In the song’s video, the Foo Fighters frontman and producer conjur Seventies lounge vibes, complete with a disco ball and sequined costumes to perform the 1978 hit. Grohl serves double-duty in the clip where he’s seen behind the drumkit, as well as front-and-center singing lead on the cowbell-tipped number.
“Barry Pincus — not only one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th (or any) century, but a mega-mensch to boot!,” Grohl and Kurstin captioned the visual. “So, like a good neighbor, you deserve a break today. So grab a bucket of chicken and let’s get stuck on….. BARRY MANILOW’S ‘Copacabana!'”
Earlier on Tuesday, Foo Fighters announced their 2022 North American stadium tour. Mere hours later, the band axed their date at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis due to the venue’s “refusal to agree to the band’s Covid safety measures.”
Skrilla is clearly leaning further into the lane that made “Doot Doot (6 7)” take off, and his new song and music video “RYLO” makes that direction obvious. The mood mirrors that same shadowy energy, built around somber piano lines, light but tense percussion, and added layers of strings and laser like effects that heighten the atmosphere. The track nods to fellow MC Rylo Rodriguez, matching his presence with gritty street scenes, money driven boasts, and sharp, cinematic details throughout the verses.
There is a long instrumental stretch before the final hook that slightly slows the pacing, taking away some of the track’s drive. Still, fans of the Philly rapper will likely find plenty to enjoy here, while those who were not sold on his earlier work probably will not be converted by this release. As Skrilla’s visibility continues to grow and edges closer to oversaturation, it will be interesting to see whether he expands his sound or stays locked into this formula. That answer may come on his next album, which he teased in the video description under the title The Face Of Zombie Land.

Crashing out with all my crashouts,
I just snorted a 30 milligram, hope I don't pass out,
Why the f**k these n***as keep on acting like thеy crashouts?
Riding around, four choppers, and I'm dolo-ing the fast route
