Tribute - Tenacious D (A CAPPELLA Cover) [17 Jan. 12]

Arranged by Luke Liang

An a cappella version of Tenacious D's 'Tribute', a revised version (with the real lyrics) of the SATB arrangement I wrote for cast of the 2010 Commerce Revue "Industryous Basterds" (directed by my good friends Scott and Jess). Hope you find it entertaining!

Lyrics:
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". 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...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his whoopy tail and the beast was done. He asked us: "Be you angels?" And we said, "Nay, we are but men." Rock!

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
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 motherfuckin' song, The Greatest Song in the World

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
