The fighters of Foo swung by the BBC&#8217;s Live Lounge, performing for the Jo Whiley show and before signing off, she gave the band a choice of covers: the Fray, Lily Allen (&#8216;can you see us covering <i>that<\/i>?&#8217; responded Grohl), Elton John (&#8216;Tony Danza?&#8217;), or Arcade Fire. Before kicking into &#8216;Keep The Car Running,&#8217; Dave says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I chose this song &#8217;cause I listen to it every morning when I wake up and I figured it&#8217;d be a great song to do here &#8217;cause I&#8217;m still waking and I figure can&#8217;t wake up &#8217;til I listen to this song so I might as well play it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Turns out Mr. Grohl&#8217;s a big Fire fan (recently telling <i>RS<\/i> &#8216;[Keep The Car Running] is a great fucking song&#8217;). The Foo take&#8217;s very faithful, with Dave as a winning Butler. They even got an accordion! And from the looks of the pic spread below, a violin too. No hurdy gurdy though. Grohl wants to go into the chorus a little early the third time through, but we won&#8217;t blame him for wanting to rush into that part. Jo calls the cover of her favorite song this year &#8216;brave, but brilliant.&#8217; We&#8217;ll go with that. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?a=GKEovDBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?i=GKEovDBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?a=trlxRGgr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?i=trlxRGgr\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?a=GlsxuOSc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?i=GlsxuOSc\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?a=QJzIULTz\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~f\/stereogum\/cBYa?i=QJzIULTz\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>(Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stereogum.com\/\">stereogum<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is great Dave Grohl loves Arcade Fire too!
