I'm trying to invoke addEventListener() using apply() method. The code is like:

function rewrite(old){
    return function(){
        console.log( 'add something to ' + old.name );
        old.apply(this, arguments);
    }
} 
addEventListener=rewrite(addEventListener);

It doesn't work. The code works for normal JavaScript method, for example,

function hello_1(){
    console.log("hello world 1!");
}
hello_1=rewrite(hello_1);

Need help!

Thanks!
