Foo Fighters Release Video for Cover of ‘You Should Be Dancing’

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
July 12th, 2021 10:31 AM

Foo Fighters still have disco fever as evident with the release of their new music video for their cover of the Bee Gees’ “You Should Be Dancing.”

Embedded below, the performance video was billed under the pseudonym the “Dee Gees,” which is what the band is going by with their July 17 Record Story Day release.

The album, titled Hail Satin, comes out on the second of two Record Store Day “Drop” days. The Dee Gees made their debut in February when the Foo Fighters first covered “You Should Be Dancing” as part of an appearance on Jo Wiley’s BBC Radio 2 Sofa Session.

Side A of Hail Satin is comprised of covers which include “You Should Be Dancing,” “Night Fever,” “Tragedy,” “Shadow Dancing” and “More Than a Woman.”

Side B of Hail Satin finds the Foos highlighting their latest album, Medicine At Midnight, with live renditions of “Making A Fire,” “Shame Shame,” “Waiting on a War,” “No Son of Mine” and “Cloudspotter.”

To find a record store near you participating in Record Store Day, head over to RecordStoreDay.com.

 

10 Covers Better Than The Original

  • Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – “Blinded By The Light”

    Share

    All due respect to The Boss, but Manfred Mann’s arrangement is just leaps and bounds better.

  • Joe Cocker – “With A Little Help From My Friends”

    Share

    Speaking of arrangement changes, it takes a lot of guts to cover The Beatles, but Joe Cocker’s cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends” never fails to move a room.

  • Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll”

    Share

    Want to know the best way to tell a cover is better than the original?  When people often don’t realize a cover is a cover.  That’s how amazing “I Love Rock N Roll” is.

  • Aretha Franklin – “Respect”

    Share

    (See explanation for “I Love Rock N Roll.”)

  • Janis Joplin – “Me and Bobby McGee”

    Share

    This song was originally recorded by Roger Miller and was written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, but sweet Pearl’s rendition is obviously the best.

  • Soft Cell – “Tainted Love”

    Share

    Gloria Jones originally released “Tainted Love” in 1965, while Soft Cell’s version came out in 1981.

  • The Beatles – “Twist and Shout”

    Share

    “Twist and Shout” was originally recorded in 1961 by a group called The Top Notes.  It then became a hit for the Isley Brothers in 1962, and then The Beatles and John Lennon’s iconic vocals happened in 1963, and you know the rest.

  • The Clash – “I Fought The Law”

    Share

    Arguably the edgiest cover on the list.  “I Fought The Law” was originally recorded by The Crickets in 1960 and then covered by the Bobby Fuller Four in 1965.  The Clash’s rendition, however, is the only cover that matters.

  • The Byrds – “Mr. Tambourine Man”

    Share

    The Byrds’ cover was released the same year Bob Dylan released the original in 1965.  Talk about guts!

  • The Jimi Hendrix Experience – “All Along The Watchtower”

    Share

    Man!  When’s Bob Dylan going to catch a break?  “All Along The Watchtower” was released on the Dylan album 'John Wesley Harding' in December 1967.  Hendrix dropped his cover in September 1968.
