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.

Zooey Deschanel Reveals She Only Starred In 'Elf' After Original Choice Dropped Out

Maybe not everyone likes it, but Elf has become a Christmas tradition in many households, bringing families together with candy canes, sugar plums, and a questionable amount of maple syrup.

Since the 2003 hit film has become such a holiday mainstay, much like A Christmas Story and The Grinch, it's hard to imagine anyone being in the film besides Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, Bob Newhart, and James Caan.

MTG Likens Trump To 'Evil People' For Trying To Block The Epstein Files After Latest Horrifying Revelation

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene likened President Donald Trump to "evil people" after the Department of Justice released thousands of new Epstein files documents, many of which included references to Trump, who has for months pushed back against efforts to make the files public.

One of the most striking Trump-related revelations in the latest document release was a 2020 email, reportedly authored by a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. They wrote that flight records they received "reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)."

Clip Of Charlie Kirk Saying Nicki Minaj Isn't A 'Good Role Model' Resurfaces After Her Appearance At MAGA Conference

After rapper Nicki Minaj's appearance at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend, people couldn't help but point out the absurdity of her appearance after a clip of the conservative organization's late founder Charlie Kirk saying she isn't a "good role model" resurfaced.

Kirk was assassinated at a college event in September. He has been celebrated by the far-right since and his widow Erika Kirk—now Turning Point USA's CEO—featured Minaj onstage for a conversation about the newly-MAGA performer's conservative beliefs.

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked after he made the oddball claim that the United States was "there" when Denmark established colonies on Greenland.
