The latest instalment of Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin's awesome Hanukkah Sessions series sees the Foo Fighters frontman and producing titan getting their hard rock on, busting out the keytar for a cover of Jump.

The pair have performed a wonderful, grin-inducing cover of the Van Halen classic for The Hanukkah Sessions' fourth night, sharing: "Quite possibly the loudest and proudest of hard rocking Jews, David Lee Roth has gone on record crediting his Bar Mitzvah preparation as his earliest vocal training. He became a rock star the day he became a man: Diamond Dreidel DLR and Van Halen… with Jump."
