Watch Dave Chappelle and Foo Fighters cover Radiohead's "Creep"
Chappelle joined the Foo Fighters on stage at Madison Square Garden for a version of "Creep" that's only a little off-key
Music Features Dave Chappelle
It’s safe to say that the anti-vaxx protesters who conflate a public service that everyone must do so we that the coronavirus doesn’t kill us with segregation didn’t work. At least in the case of the Foo Fighters, who became the subject of Ricky Schroder’s ire after they announced two nights of shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden that required proof of vaccination to enter. One thing that’s good to hear, though, is that Dave Chappelle is vaccinated.
After a year of hosting comedy shows amid a pandemic (a year that ended with Dave Chappelle testing positive for the coronavirus), Chappelle joined the Foos on stage for a rousing, if a little off-key version of Radiohead’s “Creep.” It’s not uncommon for Chappelle to be paling around with rockstars. Way back in his Chappelle’s Show days, he would regularly invite musicians on, from John Mayer to the Wu-Tang Clan. It is rare for him to be singing, though. He must’ve been riding high after the premiere of his new documentary.
“We’ve been waiting for this day for over a year,” Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl said in a statement. “And Madison Square Garden is going to feel that hard. New York, get ready for a long ass night of screaming our heads off together to 26 years of Foos.” We presume that Dave and Dave were excited about getting their new band “The Two Daves” off the ground, too.
Unfortunately for most of the world, we weren’t there to see a weird, one-of-a-kind moment that only happens at live performances, which, if you’re unvaccinated, you can take part in again! If you’re not, let this be your incentive; if you’re holding out: you could miss Dave Attell singing “Pyramid Song” next time.
Well, for the rest of us, we can experience the feeling of being in the nosebleeds and watching Chappelle work his way through a Thom Yorke impression. YouTube videos of shows we didn’t get to go to are also back, so we can enjoy the feeling of sitting behind someone holding up their smartphone at a concert again.

A comedian singing “Creep”?Was Louis C.K. busy?
He was doing ‘Bawitdabaw’ at the open mic nite at Maui.
“It’s safe to say that the anti-vaxx protesters who conflate a public service that everyone must do so we that the coronavirus doesn’t kill us with segregation didn’t work.”When you everyone must do so we that.
LEARN HOW TO WRITE, NO-WRITE!
Love when the first sentence is garbled this badly. Really shows the quality of the sites writing.
Of course, Kinja’s link nonsense garbled it even further. Writing? Commenting? It’s all of a piece.
Was the writer in the middle of a stroke when he wrote this? Should someone call an ambulance?
Wait, how did Roger Daltrey get mixed up in this?
We all need to help one another, Thanks for Great idea & Technology on Ai Based Projectshttps://takeoffprojects.com/ai-based-projects
I think about the clip of Patrice O’Neal singing it… gone too soon.
Nah, gone just in time. He’d be at the top of this list of assholes trying to convince people not to get vaccinated.
It’s safe to say that the anti-vaxx protesters who conflate a public service that everyone must do so we that the coronavirus doesn’t kill us with segregation didn’t work.EDIT THIS FUCKING SENTENCE!!!
Seriously. I do not usually take the time to comment on the poor editing around here but trying to parse that opening sentence somehow gave me a toothache. For god’s sake, it’s the first sentence. At least pretend to put a little effort into that one.

Did you read ANY of this paragraph before posting? ANY OF IT?
“It’s safe to say that the anti-vaxx protesters who conflate a public service that everyone must do so we that the coronavirus doesn’t kill us with segregation didn’t work.”Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

I’ve been looking for an incentive to get unvaccinated!
Getting unvaccinated makes one-of-a-kind moments happen twice! Amazing.
It’s weird: I’m glad that this exists, but I could have gone without it.
I guess it’s true what my therapist says: Something can be unpleasant and okay.
I think the quarantine may have done more damage to my mental health than I realized. Seeing that crowd crammed together, singing at the top of their lungs in that video gave me a minor panic attack, despite knowing they’re all vaccinated.
While Chappelle’s vocals were on par with an average karaoke night, he more than made up for it with personality. He, the Foo Fighters, and everyone else in the Garden had a good time. That’s what counts!
All I have to say about Mr. Schroeder and his feckless minions is, if you are unvaccinated by choice, you’re a dangerous idiot and you should feel bad. Even the easygoing Foo Fighters and Dave Chappelle did not want you around them.
