I forgot how good this song was. I also totally forgot that the entire video is a parody of a Mentos commercial. But it was just the beginning of a whole slew of Foo Fighters parody videos.
There’s “Learn to Fly,” which riffs off the movie Airplane. Then there’s “Everlong,” a Michael Gondry-directed take on The Evil Dead. The video for “Walk” was apparently inspired by the 1993 movie Falling Down. But these are just a sampling of a ton of excellent videos. Can’t forget “Monkey Wrench,” wherein the band meets carbon copies of themselves in Dave Grohl’s apartment. Join me in falling down a Foo Fighters video YouTube hole. There are so many good ones to choose from, and 19 years later “Big Me” still holds up.
Welcome to Soundtrack, what Gizmodo’s staff are listening to every night.
