Norah Jones and Joshua Homme of Queens of the Stone Age have collaborated on a cover of Frank and Nancy Sinatra’s 1967 hit, “Somethin’ Stupid.” The performance, described as a “smooth spin” on the classic, is featured in an upcoming episode of Jones’ podcast, Norah Jones is Playing Along.
A New Take on a Classic
The cover showcases quiet vocals from both artists, accompanied by soft guitar playing from Homme and piano work from Jones. The song, originally written by C. Carson Parks in 1966, gained popularity after being recorded by the Sinatra family.
This collaboration isn’t limited to the Sinatra classic. Jones and Homme also reinterpreted three songs by Queens of the Stone Age: “Kalopsia,” “Create It Wit Chu,” and “This Lullaby.”

The full episode of Norah Jones is Playing Along, including all four performances, is scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, February 10th, and will be available on the iHeartRadio App and other podcast platforms. Homme and Queens of the Stone Age are also preparing to join Foo Fighters on a North American stadium tour this summer.
