Tribute Lyrics
Long time ago, me and my brother Kyle here
We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon
In the middle of the road
And he said
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls" (soul)
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other
And we each said, "okay"
And we played the first thing that came to our heads
Just so happened to be
The best song in the world, it was the best song in the world
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three
It was destiny
Once every hundred-thousand years or so
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow
Needless to say, the beast was stunned
Whip-crack went his whippy tail
And the beast was done
He asked us: "be you angels?"
And we said, "nay, we are but men"
Rock
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Oh, whoa, ah-whoa-oh!
This is not the greatest song in the world, no
This is just a tribute
Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no, no
This is a tribute, oh, to the greatest song in the world
All right! It was the greatest song in the world
All right! It was the best motherfuckin' song, the greatest song in the world
Ah-rah, dee
Soo-guh-goo-gee-goo-gee
Goo-guh fli-goo gee-goo
Guh fli-goo, ga-goo-buh-dee
Ooh, guh-goo-bee
Ooh-guh-guh-bee-guh-guh-bee
Fli-goo gee-goo
A-fliguh woo-wa mama Lucifer!
And the peculiar thing is this my friends
The song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
Anything like this song
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion
Ah, fuck! Good god, gotta love it
So surprised to find you can't stop it
A fiery ring of fire
Rich motherfucker, aw
Alright
Alright

This songs awesome. Tenacious D at their best. Ben Stiller is the video. when Jack jumps out and says "It's just a matter of opinion" Ben Stiller walks by. Oh and the devil is played by Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. My favourite bit is when he goes "Be you angels? and we said Nay... we are but men. ROCK" Best and most random song ever.
THERES A VIDEO?!
how have you never seen it before it is the best video of all time

yeah they're recording the new album in a karaoke booth in a mall. and its funny because it cuts between the story they're telling and the booth. when jb and kg say "nay we are but men" for god knows what reason jack opens his shirt and its funny as hell. this is the best "clean" tenacious d song.
It's not clean they say fuck in it at least 2 times

This is a great song. It makes me laugh every time Jack Black says "Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail"

You're wrong. This IS the best song in the world.
I saw the video today and I have to say that this is the greatest song in the world! Even know its just a tribute...
Have any of you heard the live version of the song? It contains quite a few allusions to "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. And in their FAQ on their website, JB says that the only band that comes remotely near being as great as the D is Led Zeppelin.
Basically, this song is a tribute to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zep
