Watch Dave Grohl and Jack Black Cover Rush’s ‘The Spirit of Radio’

Jack Black joined Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin for the seventh instalment of this year’s Hannukah Sessions, covering Rush’s ‘The Spirit of Radio’. Watch it happen below.

“Geddy Lee’s mother was so proud of her son that she put Rush posters up all over their family store and gave away Rush albums to kids who didn’t have money to buy them,” the video’s caption reads. “In tribute to that proud Jewish mother, we give you — free of charge— ‘The Spirit Of Radio’ featuring Jack Black!”

Grohl and Kurstin launched Hannukah Sessions in 2020 to celebrate the holiday by sharing covers of songs by Jewish artists. So far this year, they’ve rolled out performances of Blood, Sweat & Tears’ ‘Spinning Wheel’ featuring Judd Apatow, ‘Get the Party Started’ with P!nk, 10cc’s ‘The Things We Do for Love’ with Inara George, Janis Ian’s ‘At Seventeen’ sung by Grohl’s daughter Violet, ‘E-Pro’ with Beck, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ ‘Heads Will Roll’ with Karen O.
