"Tribute" is a song by American comedy rock duo Tenacious D, and the second single from their self-titled debut album (2001).
"Tribute" was written as a paean to the impossibility of reaching musical perfection, making the claim that the greatest song in the world had in fact been theirs, but that they had forgotten it.
The music video for "Tribute", directed and edited by Liam Lynch, features Jack Black, and Kyle Gass, in a cheap shopping mall karaoke booth, rewired to record their song.
As they sing, the video cuts between footage of the pair walking down the "long, lonesome road" and their encounter with the demon, played by Dave Grohl.
After the solo, Black and Gass jump out of the booth and start shouting the lyrics at mall shoppers and dancing flamboyantly.
While most pay no attention, an old lady, played by Linda Porter, assaults Black with her bag after he grabs her while singing.
At the end, the same old lady who was frightened by the duo picks up the now-recorded CD, eyes glowing red, and cackles demonically.
The story revolves around two members of the band strolling around Warsaw in the night until they meet the Devil lying down on a street.
