The Foo Fighters provide the soundtrack for a montage of Dave's iconic, storied career.

It's no surprise to fans of David Letterman or the Foo Fighters that he would choose them as the final performers; when he returned from heart problems years ago, he introduced them as his "favorite band playing his favorite song." So it's kind of perfect that they perform it as the musical foundation for a celebration of Dave's legacy.

Just watching those clips serves to remind just how unique, hilarious, and plain weird David Letterman was over the years, especially during the early era. If you want to alarm your coworkers with nonstop laughing from your cubicle and kill some time, spend a few days YouTubing his NBC-era stuff and remind yourself why he's such a legend.
