He had a rough start. His first band broke up in the worst possible way.

Day Two is a cover of a Drake song.
Most of the comments are about how this cover is better than the original.
But the best YT comment:
“Looks like someone is covering the best, the best, the best of Jews.”

As someone who collected almost all of Weird Al Yankovic’s music, is it a little petty of me to be a bit disappointed that this wasn’t a Hannukah themed parody/pastiche of The original song?
Great delivery though.

Better yet, he made amends for his actions.

I’d done that so often in my metal / noise punk / power pop days. Funny he didn’t have a stick jammed in the bass drum lug.
Honestly I was a little disappointed dave played it so ‘straight’ pattern-wise (which is what ‘pro’ drummers do (for better or worse)). Mike mixed up the sequence and patterns of the snare-kick combinations a lot more. Worse, though, Dave didn’t recreate that weird downbeat reversal in the middle where mike either got lost for a measure or did it on purpose (I hope the latter). I’d have to relisten to the BB appearance on letterman and see/hear if he did it there too.
In any case, that song/video never fails to put a smile on my face. Peak BB/Jonze IDGAF creativity.
