Tenacious D, tribute?


What is the question again

what is the greatest song in the world

Its a song they sang on a fateful night or some stuff when a shiney demon shone in the middle of the road, and he said play the best song in the world, or Ill eat your souls.

I love how people are saying the lyrics and not answering the question



Its not a real song, is the point..... or do you think they really played the greatest song in the world for a Demon as they were walking down a road? I love how people ask stupid questions

I was asking what the greatest song in the world is, not asking for repetition of the lyrics from tribute

The question was answered. The "Greatest Song" referred to in Tribute was played spontaneously by Tenacious D and subsequently forgotten by them. It does not refer to any actual real song.

Actually jackass, you asked what song they were referring to in that song, Tribute... and Ive answered your question.

If you wanted to know what the greatest song in the world was period, it would be a matter of opinion..... you asked listened to that song earlier and one of my coworkers and I have been trying to figure out what the greatest song in the world is.

you quoted the song by saying "greatest song in the world", and we have answered you that based on the lyrics, wth are you trying to get out of this?

tenacious D did a song called tribute, I want to know what the song is they are doing a tirbute to

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 soul." (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 muthafckin' song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[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 me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[Skat]
All right! All right!

cnn thinks its Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

It's pretty obvious that they're wrong. Sure that's a decent song, but not the greatest.

Yeah its supposed to be Stairway based on the live version. They even play the solo from Stairway, the exact solo not even a similar one.
