Tenacious D - Tribute
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute
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:
[Sung]
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls." (soul)
[Spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other
And we each said... "Okay."
[Sung]
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 whoopy tail
And the beast was done
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-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 muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world
[2-part scat]
[Spoken]
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
[Sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin'
So surprised to find you can't stop it
[Scat]
All right! All right!
