"I said, 'I think we should write the best song in the world.' Jack Black said, ‘You can’t do that!'" How Dave Grohl, Ben Stiller, Bob Odenkirk and Maynard James Keenan helped Tenacious D bring the greatest tribute song ever to the world

To make a truly memorable comedy song with both longevity and mass appeal is a hard task. But to create one that achieves all that while also going out of its way to compete with Metallica and Led Zeppelin while positioning itself as the greatest song ever made? Oh, and all while being only the second song you have ever written together? Surely impossible!

You’d think so, but with the help of everyone from Dave Grohl and Maynard James Keenan to the bloke from Better Call Saul, that’s exactly what Tenacious D did when they crafted their own “Mona Lisa”, Tribute.
