Discover the story of the song > Tribute – Tenacious D

The song tells the story of the protagonist and his brother Kyle who were hitchhiking down a road when a shiny demon appears and demands they play the best song in the world or he will eat their souls. They play a random song that they can't remember, but it turns out to be the greatest song in the world and defeats the demon. The song is a tribute to that event, but the actual song they played sounded different.
