![]() ![]() We're like, oh, Dave, you have to wear the glasses. We - you know, we went to the video and checked it out. (Laughter) The dress from - that, I think, is a nice finishing touch to this. MARTÍNEZ: And Dave wearing the dress, too. ![]() GROHL: (Singing) You say I only hear what I want to. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "STAY (I MISSED YOU)") And then also, the other one, which I was not sure of how we would pull off and then ended up to be one of my favorite ones is the Lisa Loeb, "Stay," the very first night. ![]() But that one was just really fun because that was the unexpected idea that Dave came up with. KURSTIN: Getting into those chords and everything in that arrangement is just so amazing. She was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there. KURSTIN: Well, I do love "Copacabana." That was, like, a surprising one for me because that's - Barry Manilow's arrangement of that song, just as a music geek, I really love it. MARTÍNEZ: Is there one in particular this year that you're especially pleased with? KURSTIN: It's also kind of about what Dave could sing, you know, and what we feel like we can pull off. Well, there is that book, "Jews Who Rock." So we had to research a lot. I mean, how do you pick the Jews who rock? MARTÍNEZ: I'm dying to know how you came up with the set list. GROHL: (Singing) They're forming in a straight line. And so now, Kurstin and Grohl are back with Season 2 of "The Hanukkah Sessions." I spoke with Kurstin yesterday. MARTÍNEZ: Well, the kids got excited about this, too. And that was the spirit of where this came out of. And so you know - and the kids get very excited about that. They'll, you know, give a present every night. GREG KURSTIN: During Hanukkah, a lot of families will do that. Kurstin says they were quarantining together when they came up with the idea to make eight videos of themselves performing songs by eight Jewish artists, and to release one per day during the holiday. He's a producer known for his work with artists such as Adele and the Foo Fighters. MARTÍNEZ: That's rocker Dave Grohl singing and playing drums. And these two prominent musicians decided to give the world a gift, eight of them actually - one for each night of HanukkahĭAVE GROHL: (Singing) Jenny said when she was just 5 years old there was nothing happening at all. Our next story begins last year, right around this time. ![]()
