Stranger things have happened
Mike from Stranger Things has done a cover of Mac DeMarco’s ‘Salad Days’
Sadly no fire rap guest spot from Barb…

Not content with being, y’know, an incredibly talented actor and the star of Stranger Things, it turns out Finn Wolfhard is a dab hand at the guitar.
The actor, who plays Mike Wheeler in the Netflix series, has covered Mac DeMarco’s ‘Salad Days’. Unfortunately his version doesn’t include a fire rap verse from fellow character Barb, but hey, you can’t have it all can you?
He’s not the only cast member to show his musical talents. Telekinetic badass Eleven (played by Millie Bobby Brown) recently reeled off the entire Nicki Minaj verse from Kanye West song ‘Monster’. As you do.
Listen to Mike ‘MikeDeMarco’ Wheeler’s cover of ‘Salad Days’ below.
