Lords of Comedic Darkness
Tenacious D, or "The D" as they are also known by fans, is an American rock band duo composed of musician/actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black. Their music fuses vulgar absurdist comedy with rock music in a style that critics have described as "mock rock".
Tenacious D's music showcases Black's theatrical vocals and Gass' acoustic guitar playing abilities. Many of their songs discuss the duo's purported musical and sexual prowess, as well as their friendship and intake of cannabis. Their albums feature absurd and humorous sketches. Music critics have compared the storyteller-style lyrics of their songs to lyrics of rock opera.
The band first gained popularity in 1999 when they starred in the self-titled Tenacious D, a television series on HBO, in which Black and Gass attempted to establish themselves as the "Greatest Band on Earth". The series airs occasionally on Comedy Central and is available on their DVD, The Complete Masterworks. In addition, they have since recorded two albums, and starred in their own movie, Category: Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny. (read more)

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)."
Tribute Lyrics
