The Dee Gees – aka Foo Fighters - have premiered their cover of The Bees Gees’ 1976 disco anthem ‘You Should Be Dancing.’

The kaleidoscopic video sees Foo Fighters perform a funky version of The Bees Gees track while flanked by neon lights and a trio of backing singers.

Clearly very at home with covering the brothers Gibb, Dave Grohl reaches the trademark Bee Gees high notes with great aplomb.

‘You Should Be Dancing’ is lifted from Foo Fighters’ 10-track disco album ‘Hail Satin’, which is available to buy on vinyl on Record Store Day this Saturday (17th July).

‘Hail Satin’ is released under Foo Fighters’ alter ego The Dee Gees and it boasts three further Bee Gees covers – ‘Night Fever’, ‘Tragedy’ and ‘More Than A Woman’ – together with a version of Andy Gibb’s ‘Shadow Dancing.’

Completing the album are five reworkings of Foo Fighters ‘Medicine at Midnight’ tracks recorded live at their 606 Studio in San Fernando Valley, California.

Foo Fighters AKA The Dee Gees

The limited-edition ‘Hail Satin’ vinyl will be housed “era-appropriately in a dazzling rainbow mylar sleeve,” and The Dee Gees added: “For optimal results, listen with exposed chest hair and little gold spoon necklace.”

Dave Grohl said he became obsessed with The Bee Gees after watching their acclaimed HBO documentary earlier this year

The ‘Hail Satin’ track-list is as follows:

1) You Should Be Dancing

2) Night Fever

3) Tragedy

4) Shadow Dancing

5) More Than a Woman

6) Making A Fire

7) Shame Shame

8) Waiting on a War

9) No Son of Mine

10) Cloudspotter
