Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Tenacious D!
This is [E] a song called The History of Tenacious D.
It's [D] not just a list of things we've done in the past, it's a chronicling [E] of our rise to power.
We [D] ride with kings on mighty [Em] steeds across the devil's plain.
[D] We've walked with Jesus and his cross, [C] he did not die in [E] vain.
[D] We've run with wolves, we've [Em] climbed K2, even stopped a moving train.
[D] We've traveled through space and time, my [C] friends, to rock this [G] house again.
[D] [Am]
[D] We ride, we [A] ride, we'll never [Em] subside, we'll ride till the planets collide.
[D] And if you say that we do not ride, [C] I'll turn you [G] flipping.
[E]
[D] I'll sing and be silver, Jack's voice and [Em] be gold, but lest you think we're vain.
[A] We know you're all robots and we don't care.
[G] Tenacious D!
[E] We reign, we reign, supreme in our [G] heart.
[E] Burrito [G] supreme, and a chicken supreme, and a cutlet supreme.
[D]
Supreme, [Am] yeah.
Go knock out [G] one, two, three.
[D] Supreme.
[Am] Go knock out one, [G] two, three.
[E] Supreme.
Go knock out one, two, three.
Burrito supreme, and a chicken supreme, and a cutlet supreme.
[E] [N]
[B]
[N] You made the record.
You made the grade.
What, you made it all?
You made it all!
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, careful.
Ah, incredible.
The loving continues.
There it is.
What an incredible performance, gentlemen.
That was fantastic. Thank you.
Sitting is the simple thing.
You don't have to sit exactly like me.
I don't know how to sit like that.
Andy.
Andy.
Release.
I'm bleeding now.
You know, let's begin.
You two gentlemen have an exciting announcement for our studio audience.
Do you not?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This Saturday, we're doing a festival.
We created a festival called Festival Supreme, of all things.
And it's got comedy and music and also a terrifying haunted carnival.
For those of you who want to rock Halloween properly,
you come down a weekend right before Halloween on Saturday,
and I guarantee, I give you the tenacious D guarantee,
it will blow your mind.
And you
It's going to be a scream.
And is this right?
Am I correct that you are gifting everyone in our studio audience?
Yes, and you got a ticket under your seat.
It's not under your seat.
I wanted it to be under your seat.
Yeah, they wanted it to be, but we don't
Someone's going to give it to you.
We'll give it to you.
We don't know.
This is an Oprah.
We don't have time to go and glue things under their seats.
But seriously, anyone who's watching us right now in like Tallahassee or Timbuktu,
wherever you are, I urge you to get a plane ticket and come,
because it's that good.
It's that good.
That's the tenacious D promise.
You have invested a lot of
You guys have invested a lot of your own money in this festival.
Well, I invested a lot of my own money.
Kyle invested a lot of time, and they say that time is money,
so Kyle has invested money.
Well, yeah, I actually It's true.
I spent literally all of my Kung Fu Panda money on the festival.
You did.
This is the circus of death.
I don't know if you can get a close-up.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Just hold it still.
You built this?
You had this built?
I didn't build it.
We have an artist friend who's a genius.
He's like Salvador Dali.
His name is Stephen Hull, and as you can see, if you follow my finger here,
you take the choo-choo train ride through the ladies, past the booth.
Oh, my God.
There's a naked dude coming out of a cannon.
That's going to happen, probably.
And then you go into this ice structure.
Terrifying things happen with art.
And then you come out here, and you're not the same person.
And then you go in there, and there's going to be, like, incredible
We got the best artists.
The best?
In Los Angeles.
There's going to be, like, 25 insane costumed creatures from the high art world.
Can we see the pig lady?
There she is.
Like those things.
Wait, that's incredible.
By Marnie Webber.
Incredible.
So this is all going to happen at the festival.
Are you coming?
Dude, you came last year to Festival Supreme.
That's right.
Remember with Triumph?
Yeah, Triumph and I did a little thing at the festival last year.
We love you.
Did you try to forget?
Hey, can I ask you for a favor?
Sure.
Can you put your show on, like, Channel 1 through 10?
Because every night I'm like, okay, who's on late night talk shows tonight?
I'm like, okay, Channel 2, 4, 7, okay, now let's check Conan.
And I have to literally press my button a thousand times.
Where is TBS, dude?
I know.
It is not in the cluster.
I want it to
You want it to be in the cluster.
How much would it cost to just change it to be Channel 3?
It would cost hundreds of dollars.
Dude.
It's money we just don't have.
I spent the whole nest egg on the carnival.
Maybe Kyle could spend some time on it.
Yeah, I could do that.
Yeah, Kyle, why don't you invest time getting us
Do you want us to be Channels 1 through 10?
Whatever, that's the key.
Yeah, that's the magical cluster spot.
Okay.
Nobody's ever on Channel 1.
Location, location.
Dude, Channel 1's available.
I think that's
Nobody's ever on it, are they?
I think it's for emergencies.
You know what, we should start a campaign.
I think they have Channel 1 as the government has it for an emergency.
I think we should get it.
Right.
I think we should get Channel 1.
Let's do this!
I'm pretty tight with Obama, I'm just saying.
A couple calls.
We're not tight with Obama.
He's busy.
Festival Supreme is this Saturday in Los Angeles.
Go check it out.
You're all going to be there.
