Letra de
Tribute

A música Tribute da banda Tenacious D conta a história de uma viagem onde os músicos encontram um demônio e são desafiados a tocar a melhor música do mundo ou terão suas almas devoradas. A ironia da música é que eles afirmam não se lembrar da música que tocaram, indicando então que a música que o ouvinte está ouvindo é apenas um tributo àquela música supostamente incrível.

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:
(strum palm muted)
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls."
(back to normal picking)
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 don't grow

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "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, 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 muthafuckin' 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 me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah,what the fuck! Good God, Gotta love 'em,
So surprised to find you can't stop me now.
The fiery ring of fire!
Ritsss motherfucker, the perfect song!

All right!
All right!
