Two days ago, Shakira posted a short video of herself in the studio covering the Green Day song.
“Me, being a basket case with my producer…” she writes in her Instagram caption. You can watch the one-minute cover below.
Bassist Mike Dirnt commented “Bacano!” on the post, which is Colombian slang for “Cool!”
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong also chimed in adding, “I love this” to the pop star’s video post.
