Dave Grohl was such a big fan of the Bee Gees growing up, he named his first pet after the band of brothers.<\/p>\n

The Foo Fighters recently performed a cover of the trio’s You Should Be Dancing for British radio host Jo Wiley’s Sofa Session show and the frontman revealed the song was a full-circle moment for him, taking him back to vacations with his relatives in Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n

“My cousins lived in Miami and so when we went to visit them in 1979 (it was at) the height of the Bee Gees disco craze (there),” the rocker explained. <\/p>\n

“They lived pretty close to where the Bee Gees lived,” he went on. <\/p>\n

Grohl and his cousins would drive all over the city hoping to glimpse their heroes, and he ended up taking a special memory home with him.<\/p>\n

“While we were visiting our cousins their dog had puppies and we wound up taking one of the puppies home… and we named it Bee Gee… Who’s not a Bee Gees fan?” he asked.<\/p>\n

Grohl admitted he found it really easy to hit the band’s famous high notes as the Foo Fighters rehearsed You Should Be Dancing.<\/p>\n

“I have never, ever, in my life sung like that but it was the easiest song I have ever sung,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t realise that my voice (could do that)… I sing the song in, like, six minutes and I was done. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I should have been singing like that for the last 25 years’,” he reflected.<\/p>\n

Now, Grohl hopes his cover will land him a meeting with existing Bee Gee Barry Gibb: “I’ve not met Barry… We’re in the same universe but we never met.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
