Tenacious D - Tribute 2002

"Tribute" is a song by American comedy rock duo Tenacious D, and the second single from their self-titled debut album (2001). The song is a tribute to what Kyle Gass and Jack Black refer to as "The Greatest Song in the World" (often confused as the song's title). Upon its release, "Tribute" failed to make a commercial impact in the US, but it became a hit in Australia and New Zealand, peaking at number four on the Australian Singles Chart and number nine on the New Zealand Singles Chart. In Europe, the single reached number 25 on the Dutch Top 40, and number 84 in the UK. The single was re-released in 2021 as part of the band's "Super Power Party Pack", commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the band's debut album.

"Tribute" was the first song Black and Gass played live as Tenacious D. The song, like many other songs that were recorded on Tenacious D, was originally performed on their short-lived HBO TV series. During earlier performances of this song Kyle Gass played the opening to "Stairway to Heaven". In the 2006 film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, it is implied that the climax of the movie, a rock-off challenge between Satan and Tenacious D told through the song "Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown)", is the incident chronicled in "Tribute", and that the portion of "Beelzeboss" performed by Tenacious D is the song receiving tribute.

The music video shows Black and Gass walking down the "long, lonesome road" and their encounter with the demon, played by Dave Grohl, who also plays drums and rhythm guitar on the song. Passersby include cameos from Ben Stiller and video director Liam Lynch. The policeman is played by JR Reed, who played "Lee" in the band's television series. "Tribute" was nominated for two Music Video Production Association Awards: "Alternative Video of the Year" and "Directorial Debut of the Year". In addition, it was a nominee for best video in the 2002 Kerrang! Awards.

"Tribute" received a total of 77,7% yes votes!

Made this a couple days before I saw Kung Fu Panda 4. This cover song is AWESOME. The movie itself is… well …. It’s… a movie.

I just imagine Po leaving to fight the Chameleon and he realizes he’ll be with Tigress and he's going to miss her and SHUT UP I STILL BELIEVE IN THIS SHIP AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OKAY

(Ngl, for a second, part of me was like "TENACIOUS D SHIPS THESE TWO OMG!!" because the video Tenacious D posted covering this song on Instagram was captioned "STILL BELIEVE 🐼🐯”.)

JACK BLACK TENACIOUS D: THE PICK OF DESTINY (2006)

When my wife and I first embarked on allergy injections together I very specifically planned for our injection arms to be opposite so that as we switched arms week by week we’d always have a safe side to cuddle on. This worked out pretty well. My shot arm is usually more sore and itchy so it’s safe from getting bumped this way.

But two weeks ago I got this horrible wretched no good very bad spider bite on my arm right near where the injection was supposed to go. I told my beloved to just do my shots anyway. This was very stupid.

My arm did not care to be shot full of allergens while dealing with another local foreign contaminant. The spider bite got infected. I tried using the steroid cream we use for our shots on it cause it itched like a motherfucker but in fact, that made it worse. In desperation I gave up on trying to manage the furious itching and just opted to slather it in antibiotic cream. This finally helped.

The next allergy shot went into the opposite arm as planned and I continued applying cream hoping to actually defeat the evil for good. It was all to no avail. A quick check with the doctor during my beloveds shot confirmed I should keep avoiding the bitten arm.

So today my forward planning is for naught. My beloved and I have injections on matching arms. No matter how we cuddle one of us is in danger.

Does adult Machete retain his childhood delight for snails? Does he keep a journal of notes and observations about them?

Imagining a present day timeline of your story where zoology students learn a number of species of snail native to southern Europe were extensively detailed and documented by some reclusive, weird twink cardinal who was later assassinated for political reasons.

Hard to say. Even if he wanted to do regular snail watching (a riveting activity for sure), he probably wouldn't have time for it, he's chronically stretched thin as it is. But it's a cute thought TvT

Can’t express how shocked I am that Kyle Gass is the cool one and Jack Black is the fascist sympathizer but hey, good for Kyle. Next time don’t miss.
