Tenacious D Lyrics

    ------ About the song Tribute performed by Tenacious D

"Tribute is the best song ever!" - actually Tribute is not the greatest song in the world, unfortunately Jack and Kyle couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just a tribute.

As for comments about which song this song refers to, I think the idea of this song is supposed to be very similar to the song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", but the idea is that they played a magical song on that night that can be only played at a certain time, and it just so happened that was the right time just as satan appeared and asked them to play the greatest song in the world, but afterwards the magic was gone so they actually couldn't remember exactly what they'd played, the only thing they could do is write a tribute vaguely about what they remembered happened, and even at the end of the music video the old granny which is supposed to be satan takes the tribute CD, obviously so the world doesn't know what the greatest song is and can't use it to defeat satan.

Hey guys personally I don't think anyone's got it entirely right. First off, song meanings are always missinterpreted, and many artists prefur not to share the exact meaning of songs in order to allow listeners to form their own attachment & meanings.

But thats not the argument... back to that. Tribute is about the greatest song in the world, originally written by the D but no one will ever hear it but them & the Devil. Beezleboss is a prequel song intended to be "The Greatest Song in the World" but it in itself is also a tribute to the greatest song. & As far as Starway goes the D was making a nod to that song, giving acknowledgement to all the D's wisdom of the histories of ROCK!

Besides if we look closly to all the D material they change the context of jokes & songs for they're own means... i.e. In the original album Jack teaches Kage about cockpush-ups, but in the movie Kyle teaches Jack...

"Think about it man... only the D makes non-stop rocking possible!"

    ------ About the song The Metal performed by Tenacious D

We're just supposed to enjoy the awesomeness of this song, and laugh about it. If you get mad at this song you've basically lost. Lost what? Oh ho ho ho ...you would have to ask wouldn't you.

:b

And wow, Dave Grohl played the drums on this one, well that just proves my point.

I don't really care if any of you idiots don't like Tenacious D's song Tribute. I may only be 13 years old and a blonde, but i know one thing; Tribute is the best song ever! And if you are all soooooo frickin dumb NOT to relise that, you need to get glasses and a new pair of ears!

I agree with stie. Ok, it doesn't matter whats what really, this is a great song. Tenaciuos D are excellent at creating songs that actually take the piss out of Rock and sound as good as if not better than many Rock groups! It is of general opinion, including mine that this song is a tribute to 'Stairway to heaven'which is judged to be the greatest song in the World (it's just a matter of opinion). When they say they couldn't remember the greatest song in the World may simply refer to the fact that under pressure/fear (the beast had threatened to eat their souls)they simply forgot it therefore played the first thing that came into their heads (a tribute).

may i say to the second replier that you have some bad grammar and tenacious D was not referring to every good song in the world, in my opinion rap music is bad and i personally like rock but if you are going to say that there referring to every good song in the world you can go fuck yourself your a little bitch who complains about this. Tenacious D were referring to there song that they sang on one faithful night. there the hero's of our past and future, not so come at me bro.

    ------ About the song Jesus Ranch performed by Tenacious D

This really is an amazing song :) shown to me by my Christian boyfriend who LOVES it... I am also Christian and I feel it's just a fun song, by a pretty rad band :) life's too short to get touchy about such petty issues ^_^ and besides if you're that bothered about it you really haven't understood God properly at all.

    ------ About the song Tribute performed by Tenacious D

Some of you state that this song is about "stairway to heaven" but according to the lyrics that is wrong, even though in some way this song is a tribute to it since they in the long version have a guitar solo from "stairway to heaven". Therefor this song is a tribute to at least 2 songs, where one of them is "stairway to heaven"

But in the lyrics they also state "Just a matter of opinion." in the last verse. Then this song might also mean that the greatest song in the world is whatever song you think is the greatest song in the world, as long as it's not this song or "stairway to heaven" since they are excluded through the lyrics saying "the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound".

U all got it wrong.
This song is just a tribute nd they [tanasious d] just want 2 say dat every song made is the greatest song.
They just explained it through the song.
1st they just tried 2 think by looking at each other bt they could not remember the best song in the world so they sang their own song as it came 2 their heads at first bt in the middle they say it is just a 'tribute' for all the songs ever made nd afterwards they chase the devil by saying they are men but rock.
And then they finally chase the devil by mocking him.
Thats it
