I couldn’t believe it when he replied, saying he’d like to cover 'There’s a Girl in the Corner.\"\n\nMacFarlane continued, \"He sent it over when we were playing San Francisco in March, and we listened to it over and over in the van, driving out after the gig. Hearing someone that we’ve all looked up to for so long sing and play one of our songs is definitely one of the most surreal moments we’ve ever had.\" https://tinyurl.com/8f4cuf56","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
