Foo Fighters on Kimmel. Youtube Foo Fighters ripped through the Your Favorite Toy rocker “Window” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. The quintet settles into an easy, almost southern rock-inspired groove for a few verses before breaking down to silence in the middle, as frontman Dave Grohl sings, “I saw your face, there in the window/You were a window cleaner,” before closing the short number with an understated guitar solo. The performance was the first of four that the band will play on Kimmel’s show this week.
Since Foo Fighters are playing a residency of sorts, playing a different song every night, Grohl sat down for an extended interview with Kimmel, in which he talked about “Window.” “This song in particular, I remember my daughter Harper, who’s 17, she was just learning the bass, so I thought, ‘I’m gonna write a song … that she can come upstairs and put a bass line on, like really simple, and then we can jam together,'” he said.
“Her favorite band is the Breeders. So I’m like, ‘OK, I’ll do this thing that’s kind of like the Breeders.’ … The inspiration behind the song is, I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a hotel room where you’re lying there in your skivvies, and the curtains are open, and all of a sudden, here comes the window cleaner guy.” He said he realized that window cleaners witness people’s most intimate moments and wrote a song abut it.
