Tribute Lyrics

Performed by Tenacious D
Review The Song (69)

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:
"Play the best song in the world,
or I'll eat your souls (whisper:Souls)."

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 oooh

Needless to say,
the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his whippet 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-ah-ah-ahn,
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!
And it was the best mother fuckin' song,
The Greatest Song in the world!

Allllllright!
'Ti Tuga digga tu Gi Friba fligugibu Uh Fligugigbu Uh Di Ei Friba Du Gi Fligu fligugigugi Flilibili Ah
(Bow) (Bow) (Bow) (Ooh) (Bow) (Bi)
Fligu wene mamamana Sacrebleu!
(Mene) (LUCIFER)!
(guitar solo)
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, God lovin' ,
So surprised to find you can't stop me,now.
I'm on fire--
O hallelujah I'm found! Rich motherfucker compadre simultaniously:oooh/(Demonic)aaaaah!
All right!
All right!

Jack and Kyle under pressure | Reviewer: becks | 4/28/12

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).

wow | Reviewer: Slybuscus | 2/16/12

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.

OPINION | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/12

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".

Tribute | Reviewer: Nickhyl subba | 1/2/12

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

bigles | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/11

"the d f****** owns" is wrong. In The original version of "Tribute" by Tenacious D, from the band's self-titled show on HBO. As seen here, on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH35ahbWO_E, at 6.03, kyle plays "Starway to Heaven".

Ya.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/8/11

You are all wrong, Tribute cannot possible be about the movie because the movie was made after the song. I don't think that it was actually based off of any song at all but was just simply created or they had thought of a great song previously but somehow forgot it.

Just saying | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/11

Tribute references to 'We are the D/Beelzeboss' in The pick of destiny film, they play the song and defeat the devil, but not with the song, Jack black deflects the devils magic back at him with his guitar, however at the end of the film, Jack black and Kyle misinterpret that they defeated the devil with their rock, and state it must have been the best song ever coz it beat the devil, but they can't remember it.

Come on, guys | Reviewer: Nasty Mister Monket | 10/27/11

Stop arguing about it. No need to get angry about other people's opinions. This is mine:

They managed to beat the Devil at the rock-off, so they believe they played the best song in the world, Beelzeboss. But, according to the Devil, they lost, but the Devil's lightning bounced off JB's guitar and he was sent back to Hell.

After the credits, where they smoke the "Bong of Destiny" they cannot remember the "best song in the world" so they sing about it in tribute.

There is no best song in the world. They believe it was Beelzeboss, but they lost with Beelzeboss.

Guys... | Reviewer: Ralph | 9/30/11

There is no "best song in the world". That's the whole sense of the song! In the lyrics they say that THEY (Tenacious D) made the best song in the world, but can neither remember nor prove it. The song has nothing to do with the movie.

the d f****** owns | Reviewer: jerrytheman | 8/18/11

the d is f****** pro. you are F****** idiots if you think the song they play is stairway to heaven coz it ISNT!!!!!! listen:
1. the devils ask if they angels BECAUSE they are pro.
2. there is NO part of stairway to heaven in here.
3. stairway to heaven IS NOT the best song in the world. it was considered ages ago but it isnt.
4. none of the versions have any part of stairway to heaven in them! NONE!!!!!!

in my oppinion i believe the best song is beelzeboss! NOT STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!!! noone likes a piece of SH** song that is 10 minutes long

period!

Heres what is is | Reviewer: stie | 5/5/11

Guys the song they talk about is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeplin. heres why i think so
1. Stairway to Heaven is considered the best song in the world
2. the devil asks if they were angels
3.The songs sounds a bit like stairway(even the solo)
4. In one version they play a smal bit of stairway

No lives | Reviewer: Slade | 1/4/11

"honestly everyone should stop dicussing it and just listen to the song! God! Its not that hard, who cares if it is/isnt the best song in the world? The D rocks. End of. Go back to your lives and stop arguing!!"

I agree with you Anonymous but the problem is people who argue against the D being the best probably don't have lives. Tenacious D FTW!

Rock Rules | Reviewer: Lucas Hanghal | 12/21/10

I thought all extra-awesome rockstars are skinny. That was before JB. Jack Black is the only fat-ass true rocker of all time. And it's so admirable that his loyalty to Rock is shown by his every works. He's a preserver of "good music" and an inspirational figure for those of you who are a li'll out of shape......
Hasta La Vista..whatever it means

<3 | Reviewer: Disco-Bunny | 11/18/10
