by | Jun 2, 2023

Tenacious D – the self-proclaimed “greatest band in the world”, comprised of funnymen actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass – have finally released a recorded version of their viral, fan-favourite live cover of Chris Isaak’s 1989 hit single Wicked Game. The cover comes on the heels of the band’s first new song in five years, Video Games, which has been streamed nearly 15 million times in less than a month.
