Nirvana's Drummer and Copacabana: The Unexpected Quarantine Hit

"Your welcome" video on Imgur has captivated audiences with an unexpected musical twist. The video features a rendition of Barry Manilow's classic "Copacabana." The lyrics, "Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl, with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there," bring the nostalgic song to life with a colorful performance.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the video is the involvement of Nirvana's drummer, Dave Grohl. A user humorously asked, "How’d he get Nirvana’s drummer to do this with him?" This comment highlights the surprise and delight of seeing a rock legend take part in such a whimsical project.

During quarantine, many people discovered new creative outlets. As one user pointed out, "Quarantine brought out a new side of people." This is certainly true for Grohl, who, along with The Dee Gees, has explored disco covers, including a full album and several videos available on YouTube.

The video also sparked comparisons and humorous reactions. One user linked Nirvana's Grohl to "Music and blasters and old Jedi Masters at the Staaar Waaaaars," while another reminisced about Slipknot's Corey Taylor singing the intro to Spongebob Squarepants.

A notable comment praised Grohl's versatility: "That man's a g***** national treasure." The unexpected blend of a dark song with a light-hearted melody was also noted: "It is such a dark song given the light-hearted melody."

Interestingly, the video features a menorah and Star of David, leading one user to question, "Why the menorah and star of David? Did this get released around Hanukkah?" Such details add layers of curiosity and discussion among viewers.

The video has its critics, particularly regarding the cropping: "Brilliant, but good grief on the cropping! I'd like to watch the video and not have to wonder if it was a video made for ants!" Despite this, the overall reception remains positive, with users appreciating Grohl's musical ventures post-Foo Fighters: "This is so much better than the Foo Fighters."

For those interested in more of Grohl's quarantine covers, additional links were shared by users, including a fantastic Peaches cover and more Dee Gees content.

The fusion of nostalgia, humor, and unexpected collaboration has made this video a quarantine favorite. It reminds viewers of the Copa Cabana's vibrant history: "Imagine what you think the Copacabana looks like and where it's located and then look it up. :D"
