The “most powerful” narrative-driven 1979 song Jack Black has ever heardYou’d be surprised just how much the story of the devil is embedded within the story of rock ‘n’ roll.
One of the most famous examples of this in modern music is Tenacious D’s song ‘Tribute’.
You could call them the best at it, but Jack Black would challenge you on that.
Another track that incorporates the devil is the classic ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’, an epic about a young man who challenges the devil to a fiddle battle.
And they were definitely a big influence on Tenacious D. Would we have done ‘Tribute’ if we had never heard ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’?
