Song of the Day: Dave Grohl – Arms Wide Open [Creed cover]
A friend recently asked me to post a song of the day by Foo Fighters. I immediately thought, “OK, we’re going to have to get creative here.” I can’t come to the table with a Top 40 hit. That’s what your local wacky FM DJ Fly Guy is for.
But then I remembered that Dave Grohl covered a Creed song a few years ago. OK, fine, so Creed sold millions upon millions of albums and made millions upon millions of dollars. Not sure how to explain that one. Let’s call it the “Nickleback Effect.”
Unfortunately, success does not always equate respect, and frontman Scott Stapp, while worth a ton of money, is unintentional comedy at its best.
Pop quiz – what’s most funny:
b) Karaoke Stapp, brought to you by the temple grab and the double mic clutch
d) Artsy Stapp
e) Dave Grohl’s mockery of “Arms Wide open”
