Nearly 30 years ago, comedian Jack Black founded with Kyle Glass Tenacious Da humorous hard-rock band which has enjoyed great success for many years. The duo is no longer as active as before, they hadn’t released an unreleased track for four years, but he is back with Video Gamesaccompanied by its clip:
In this title (far too short), the two members of Tenacious D sing their love for video game pleasuresfirst claiming that they don’t play the games anymore, “except for a bit of God of War” or “every once in a while a bit of Fallout 4”, before continuing with a verse extolling the realism of Red Dead Redemption IIwhich for them is not a game, but “an incredible journey through old American history”.
Jack Black is well known for his love of pop culture and therefore of video games, he recently lent his voice to Bowser In Super Mario Bros. The film and will do the same for Claptrap In Borderlands. The clip of Video Games was also directed by Adam Paloian (Spongebob, The Cuphead Show) and designed by oneyplays thanks to the’UnrealEnginethe game engineEpic Games. We are entitled to a festival of video game referenceswith the titles quoted in the lyrics, but also Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, street fighter, Minecraft, tomb Raider, Team Fortress 2 or Mega Man.
You can pre-order Super Mario Bros. The film on Blu-ray at €19.99 on Amazon to hear Jack Black double Bowser.
