Dave Grohl Writes Epic Theme Song For 10-Year-Old Drumming Sensation He's Been Battling

Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl has written a superhero theme song for a young British drummer whose online performances have made her a star on social media.

Grohl, who was the drummer for Nirvana, and Nandi Bushell are involved in a series of online challenges after the 10-year-old said her dream was to play with the Foo Fighters.


In his latest video, Grohl challenged Nandi to play the drum part to a song he wrote about her “off the top of my head."

In the song, he describes her as “number one supergirl, best drummer in the world" and the “coolest on the scene."

It comes after Grohl declared his young rival the winner of the first round of their contest, which was sparked when Nandi posted a video of herself playing the Foo Fighters hit "Everlong" last month.


She captioned the video:

“My dream is to one day jam with Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and all the @Foo Fighters!"
“Mr. Grohl I would love to have a drum battle with you! I LOVE Everlong it's really hard to play as it's so fast but so much FUN!!!"

Grohl responded a couple of weeks later, saying he had received “at least 100 texts from people all over the world" about the challenge.

He said:

“I've seen all your videos, I've seen you on TV, you're an incredible drummer."
“I'm really flattered that you've picked some of my songs to do for your videos and you've done them all perfectly."

He went on to challenge her to play the drum part from "Dead End Friends" by Them Crooked Vultures, Grohl's band with Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.

Nandi then produced her own version of the song, complete with her signature screams and whoops of delight, in which she even dressed like her idol.

It is not Nandi's first brush with fame – last year she jammed with Lenny Kravitz at the O2 Arena and earlier this year Rage Against The Machine star Tom Morello gifted her his Fender Stratocaster guitar.

She has also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
