"Five Songs and a Cover" is an EP released by the Foo Fighters in 2005. Released on November 20, 2005, it was exclusively distributed to Best Buy retail stores.

The E.P. is a collection of B-sides that come from the band's 2005 album, "In Your Honor". The title simply refers to the fact that it contains five songs, and a cover song. The cover song is of Cream's song, "I Feel Free", which features drummer Taylor Hawkins on vocals, and lead vocalist Dave Grohl providing the drums. One song on the album, "Skin and Bones" was released as a B-side to "D.O.A." but became a major part of the Foo Fighters acoustic shows. It was played on most of their acoustic tour, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and when they toured as an opener for Bob Dylan.

Trivia

*In "FFL," Dave Grohl yells out "Get on your bikes and ride!" This is a reference to the Queen song, "Fat Bottomed Girls," where Freddie Mercury yells out the same line. Mercury's line was actually referring back to the Queen song, "Bicycle Race."
*The live version of Best of You was recorded at the Quart Festival in Kristiansand, Norway. The complete show was recorded and broadcast by Norwegian radio station NRK P3, but Best of You was remixed by Nick Raskulinecz for this EP.
* This was flagged with a parental advisory sticker, solely because of the track "FFL," which stands for "Fat Fucking Lie."
