Bill Murray and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder are both very big fans of the Chicago Cubs. They each sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley Field during the World Series (at Games 3 and 5, respectively). Now, a new video shows them at the same World Series afterparty, singing the Band’s “The Weight.” Vedder leads the charge in a room full of people, and Murray does his best from the front of the crowd. Watch their cover below.
The Cubs’ World Series appearance (their first since 1945) has brought the sports fan out of a lot of musicians. The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle–a fan since childhood–reflected on his song “Cubs in Five” in a new essay. Chance the Rapper–a White Sox fan–endorsed a Cubs-supporting mashup of his “No Problem.” And Billy Corgan is a Cubs fan, but not too happy about all the celebrities showing up all of a sudden for the team he loves. “Other Cubs celebrities tend to show up when the playoffs are around. I don’t necessarily see them in June,” he said.
The deciding Game 7 of the World Series is on tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox.
