What do Dave Grohl and Elphaba have in common? On the surface, nothing. But to hear the Foo Fighters singer/guitarist tell it, his band’s just-released 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, almost shared a title with the second chapter in the Wicked movie franchise.
In an interview with Radio X’s John Kennedy on Friday (May 1), Grohl revealed that the raging single “Your Favorite Toy” became the title track because he had to abandon his original idea for the LP’s title due to the billion-dollar movie franchise starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. “Actually, you know what I wanted to call the record?” Grohl asked. “I wanted to call the record For Good, because that song, ‘Your Favorite Toy,’ … at first I called it For Good,” Grohl explained.
“In that song, ‘Your Favorite Toy,’ it says, ‘Get back, hear that boy? Someone threw away/ Your favorite toy for good.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s a good, not only title for the song but also for the album,” Grohl said. “It could have more than a few meanings, but I’m like, ‘that’s kind of nice.’ And then that Wicked movie came out and it’s called Wicked: For Good and I was so pissed! So then I changed the title of the song and it just became the title of the album.”
Grohl was probably smart to change the title up after Wicked: For Good hit theaters in November as the second part of director Jon M. Chu’s blockbuster adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical extension of the Wizard of Oz universe pulled in more than $342 million at the box office. The Foos dropped their latest album on April 24 and they’ll take the stage to perform songs from the collection on Friday (May 8) at the Welcome to Rockville Festival in Daytona Beach, Fla.
