Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl team up for a pandemic anthem

<p>NEW YORK &mdash; Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl have teamed up for a hard-rock pandemic anthem called “Eazy Sleazy.” </p>
<p>“It’s a song that I wrote about coming out of lockdown, with some much needed optimism," Jagger said in a statement Tuesday. “Thanks to Dave Grohl for jumping on drums, bass and guitar. It was a lot of fun working with him.”</p>
<p>The duo recorded the song and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN9YLLQl7gE&amp;src=Linkfire&amp;lId=72d05e3b-adcf-4730-b97a-e39d64ec8a18&amp;cId=3969a532-2988-11e7-9fd0-066c3e7a8751">video </a> in different studio locations — Jagger at home and Grohl in the Foo Fighters studio — and the lyrics mention “prison walls,” “virtual premieres,” numbers that are “grim” and Zoom calls. Jagger complains: “I’ve got nothing left to wear.”</p>
<p>The song also name-checks Bill Gates, lampoons conspiracy theories and those who deny climate change and gleefully reveals “There’s aliens in the deep state.” </p>
<p>But there seems to be hope. Jagger looks ahead and sees a “garden of earthly delights” when vaccines are administered and lockdown ends.</p>
<p>“Everything’s gonna get really freaky/Alright on the night/Soon it’ll be a memory/You’re trying to remember to forget.”</p>
