A bizzare mash-up of Foo Fighters' hit 'The Pretender' and 'Super Freak' by Rick James has been posted by the US rockers, giving an enthusiastic 'Fuck yes' to the re-working. Listen below.
The edit - labelled as 'The Freaktender' - merges Rick James' vocals over the instrumentation from the 2007 Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace hit, with a bit of The Beach Boys' 'Help Me Rhonda' thrown into the mix.
Originally uploaded to YouTube, we're sure the person behind the track - credited to a DJ Cummberbund - is thrilled to have received such response from Dave and co. along with their 2.5 million Twitter followers.
FUCK YES. https://t.co/5ZjUaHYDZg
