So awesome how Stephen “WONDERBOY” Thompson always uses this for his walkouts! It’s probably one of the best fits for a walkout song any fighter has ever had!
I hope he enters on a zip-line just as the lyrics say "how about the power of flight" and S.T flys in from the seating while Jack is actually doing the walk-in, that would be so epic and funny.
For such a playful, almost silly song...the power of the music moves me to near tears. AWESOMENESS. These guys are so powerful they can just be kidding around and almost accidentally create something timeless.
My fiancé died in a drunk driving “accident” last yr, some 19 yr old kid on this 3rd DUI ran him down doing over 100.. this song was “our” song. Nick would get me in the car and blast this, he’d sing and mime the moves with me, God he loved this band so much.. hearing this brought me to tears, I miss him so much, so I’m glad to hear it again and remember the good times. Thank you Jack Black and band for the wonderful memories ❤ I’ll always come back to listen again and again.
I’m sorry. Glad you have this memory. The pain doesn’t go away but you find ways to process as time moves on, screw anyone who says you just get over it.
@@doctorsuave thank you Daniel. It’s a process for sure. My daughter is having a rough time, I’ve gotten her a councilor to hopefully help her through it. Found out last week the punk fired his lawyer and wants to plead not guilty.. 😡
Alexander Stanley You're probably right, I think I made a link to Sherlock Holmes because when I was a kid everyone would say "No shit, Sherlock." So I just thought "homes" was actually "Holmes."

@@BlairdBlaird Case in point Tim freaking Minchin. Not Perfect and You Grew On Me are awesome and Prejudice is possibly the best original comedy song ever.
Like Weird Al, people often overlook the musical talent “comedy” bands have. Jack Black has an amazing singing voice and Kyle is an amazing guitar player.
This is as close as the D ever got to a straight up serious song. There's still humorous undertones throughout, but it really just stands as a great rock song.
In 2001 I went to a concert to see Jimmy Eat World, followed by Tenacious D, with Weezer as the headliner. Totally packed arena, probably 10 thousand tickets sold. I was (and still am) a huge Weezer fan, but _damn_ if Jack Black didn't steal that show with his amazing stage presence. It was the most fun I've ever had at a concert to this day and Tenacious D was absolutely amazing to see live.
I was in the Army stationed in South Korea in 2014. My Korean ex-gf knew I loved Tenacious D and got us tickets to see their show in Seoul that December. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Bro would have killed to be at that show. Cannot even imagine. It’s funny, I’m 36 and the D only continues to grow on me. Not to mention pick of destiny was so funny!
First time listening to this song... man... there are so many great songs out there and it is always a wonderful experience when we find one... I know these guys have been on the road for quite a while, but being from a non-English speaking country, I never made the effort to get to know more of their work... Brilliant!!
Screaming Wonderboyyyyyyyyyy down school hallways when this dropped all those years back was a slice of life I never even knew I missed until I heard this again just now. Great track. Tenacious D truly are in their own category.
This song used and still hits me on a soft spot... Love the balance between emotional and uplifting beat and groove... Kinda tells me that there's no pond of shit that a can't get through
I really, really, REALLY want Tenacious D to do a Rock Opera album telling the story of Wonderboy or in a similar style. Holy shit Jack, I'd buy at least 4 copies to support that shit.
I want a space fantasy rock opera where Jack Black plays a Captain Kirk type role (original star trek). Aliens have invaded and enslaved humans on a remote colony. He is a brilliant washed up captain and the only one who can lead a band of unlikely heroes. It should be a throwback to Barbarella style films and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
What powers, you ask? I dunno... how 'bout *the power of flight?* That do anything for ya? *That's **_levitation_**, holmes.* How 'bout the power to kill a yak from two hundred yards away... *with **_mind bullets!_* That's *telekinesis*, Kyle. How 'bout the power... _...to move you?_
This has to be one of the most beautiful, powerful and memorable ballads out there. It always gives me goosebumps. I absolutely LOVE this clever yet silly ( as always ) ballad from one of the most outstanding bands to date. Adore you two guys... keep rocking hard ( and silly ) and keep us forever smiling.....🌹🌹
I used to imagine Tenacious D as a parody "band". Just for fun. Not anymore today. I love this music right next to Queen, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy and others. This song in particular, is so SO enlightening. Love, kisses, HELL, Tenacious D!
This song meant a lot to me as a 6th grader who was constantly being picked on at school only to come home to an abusive household. So many shit memories but I’m not calling it quits man. Not like they’re reading this but thank you Tenacious D.
You were picked on at school because you had failing parents. If you want to overcome their nature you have to forgive them for everything they did to you.
I'd like to though Hollywood hasn't noticed me. I do write and could come up with something. Though then I am doing it for free. I dont want to so do you know anyone, Calvin?
I'm a Brit, nearly 60 & have been a fan for years, love this song, I saw them live at the Download festival in 2012 with one of my Sons, they were superb, the highlight of the weekend for me. Both of my Sons saw them live in London when they were on tour here a few years ago which was brilliant also!
In class today, I had to make a super hero/ villain. For the superpower I put down, "How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle. How 'bout the power to move you?"
He says “what is the secret OF your powers?”, not “what is the secret TO your powers?” In his wisdom, he does not seek divinity, but rather admires the grace that Wonderboy has, in which he harnesses greatness. ❤️
You read the comment wrong. What I mean is that you can tell their music comes naturally to them. It's not rude to say that someone has talent to the point of being able to write a better song in their sleep than most popular artists can do on aderol.
just want to clarify that I was only implying they "can" sarcastically throw a song together that would be better produced/recorded than anything on the radio (is radio still a thing?) today. Not that they actually DO make their music sarcastically. Finally, "I'm not your pal, friend." haha just had to get that last one in there
As someone who has read and watched Beowulf, re-read all of the Lord of the Rings and seen the films many times, and also through watched all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones, I officually fact check this comment as *true.* 👍
Watching ice cream melt on a bus stop bench is better than the last season, which ranks in quality alongside an aggressive prostate exam by a doctor with a prosthetic sword hand. That doctor? Young Nasty Man.
High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds, There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly. Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck. Yeah, yeah. Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man? Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman, archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy. What powers you ask? I dunno how 'bout the power of flight? That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes. How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle. How 'bout the power to move you? History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman, Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goo. A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold, And blasting forth with three-part harmony, yeow! Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man? Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces; they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen, and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right, [sung] Me! And KG! [KG (spoken):] That's me. [sung] We're now Tenacious D! Come fly with me, fly! Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man, Oh! [spoken] Take my hand! Young Nastyman, and we'll fly! Bring out your broadsword. There's the hydra. Slice his throat! And grab his scroat. You take the high road, I'll take the low. There, the crevasse, Fill it with your mighty juice.
I get this is Tenacious D and it supposed to be funny and all, but I've been listening to this song on repeat since last night. The musicality, the harmonies, the progressions in this song are wonderfully made. It's not an awfully complicated song, but it's just so easy to play along.
Kyle can seriously play the guitar bro. And jack has an awesome voice. I wish they did a serious album just so the critics could actually listen to how awesome they really are
It's sad that this much talent is always taken as a joke. Yea these 2 are clowns there's no doubting that but the legitimate musicality I feel is overlooked or rather overshadowed by the humor. But between the acoustic guitar and Jack's voice this song is actually beautiful lol
I feel like the charm and the enjoyment of Tenacious D comes from the fact that they are actually a great band, not just a comedic duo. The satire is just icing for their badass songs Tribute and Wonderboy are legitimately among the best rock songs of the early 2000s
exactly,he would be amazing if he was more serious but he's already legendary,none of the d's songs would exist if he did and they wouldnt be that unique,just another rockband.
2:06 The slowmotion billowing of Wonderboy's cloak there is like the sickest shit, I've believed this since the first time I ever saw this music video on MTV2.
***** I think I see what you're saying. It's kind of a chicken egg thing though. D's flavor is very 1970s Rock'n'Roll mixed with Dungeons and Dragons. It's been around since...well... the 1970s and it came from other things besides. The Lord of the Rings movies, World of Warcraft, Game of Thrones, Guitar Hero, and the digital age have brought this subculture out of the shadows of America's basements and garages, but when I was a kid this kinda stuff was defintely not cool. So in a way you're right. D exhibited a flavor that wouldn't be considered "cool" until much later. But D didn't invent that flavor, nor were they the first to use it, but then that's true with most things.
The quality if the song made it a staple of every MP3 player I've ever owned. This is the first I've seen the video and the quality of the cinematography honestly has me a little taken aback.
+Wesley Kjelsen oh oh oh oh my god... I was already laughing when my brain read this comment.... I choked... you sir, made me choke on my laugh) Good Work) :D

What I mean is that you can tell their music comes naturally to them. It's not rude to say that someone has talent to the point of being able to write a better song in their sleep than most popular artists can do on aderol.
first off, being a guitar player for about 10 years. I'm pretty sure I know how music is made lol.
second, I'm not your "bud", guy.
just want to clarify that I was only implying they "can" sarcastically throw a song together that would be better produced/recorded than anything on the radio (is radio still a thing?) today.
Not that they actually DO make their music sarcastically.
Finally, "I'm not your pal, friend."
haha just had to get that last one in there
Haters gonna hate.
Secretly, this was always the best song in the world. And the legend continues
Jack black voice is legit amazing. Tenacious d is legit a hall of fame Rock band. Legendary.
Was fortunate enough to witness the AWESOMENESS of Tenacious D front row. This was the one song everyone wanted to hear that they didn't play.
This music video is better than the entire last season of Game of Thrones
As someone who has read and watched Beowulf, re-read all of the Lord of the Rings and seen the films many times, and also through watched all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones, I officually fact check this comment as *true.* 👍
Watching ice cream melt on a bus stop bench is better than the last season, which ranks in quality alongside an aggressive prostate exam by a doctor with a prosthetic sword hand. That doctor? Young Nasty Man.
@@MichaelTLane-cu1rj Accurate assessment, Mr. Lane.
Just let it go man!
I do feel like someone should make a tribute video of Jon Snow and Tormund to this song.
Video has a great classic 80s fantasy feel to it, while still being somewhat modern.
+Halfcentaur that's kyles guitar, 30 years ahead of its time
Still moved in 2016, that's a real super power.
still moved man
2018 here. Saying its still moving !!
2019 movin
Still moved in quarantined 2020
moved in 2024!!
They never told you, but this was the greatest song in the world.
I knew it from the moment I heard it two decades ago. The tribute was to Wonderboy all along
"How about the power....to move you?" I'm not crying... you're crying.
Trump 2025 😂
High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck.
Yeah, yeah.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?
Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman,
archrival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy.
What powers you ask? I dunno how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.
How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
How 'bout the power to move you?
History of Wonderboy and Young Nastyman,
Riggah-goo-goo, riggah-goo-goo.
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold,
And blasting forth with three-part harmony, yeow!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?
Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
they formed a band the likes of which have never been seen,
and they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
[sung]
Me! And KG!
[KG (spoken):] That's me.
[sung]
We're now Tenacious D!
Come fly with me, fly!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man,
Oh!
[spoken]
Take my hand!
Young Nastyman, and we'll fly!
Bring out your broadsword.
There's the hydra.
Slice his throat!
And grab his scroat.
You take the high road,
I'll take the low.
There, the crevasse,
Fill it with your mighty juice.
Bless you
Wait it’s not slice it’s nuts??!??! This whole time lmao
I get this is Tenacious D and it supposed to be funny and all, but I've been listening to this song on repeat since last night.
The musicality, the harmonies, the progressions in this song are wonderfully made. It's not an awfully complicated song, but it's just so easy to play along.
The drop D chord at 3:09 coinciding with the lyric 'D' is *** chef's kiss ***
This deserves more views than child youtubers fake pranking their parents and friends.
That content is doing more damage than Aids.
Kyle can seriously play the guitar bro. And jack has an awesome voice. I wish they did a serious album just so the critics could actually listen to how awesome they really are
They are doing what makes them happy. They aren’t chasing anyone’s approval. Jack and kyle both said it.
They're albums areserious! SERIOUSLY AWESOME!
me too!
if you haven’t already, be sure to listen to ‘tribute’ by then, it’s amazing
@@purplemooshroom5322 I agree. Tribute is amazing
"How about the power to move you?" And move me they did. Best band in the world right here.
I will always remember the sacred words that saved me from ending it all: "riga-gugu, riga-gugu". Such beauty, such meaning Q_Q
It's sad that this much talent is always taken as a joke. Yea these 2 are clowns there's no doubting that but the legitimate musicality I feel is overlooked or rather overshadowed by the humor. But between the acoustic guitar and Jack's voice this song is actually beautiful lol
its the primus syndrome
most of the good bands are just absolute goofs, just like them.
I feel like the charm and the enjoyment of Tenacious D comes from the fact that they are actually a great band, not just a comedic duo.
The satire is just icing for their badass songs
Tribute and Wonderboy are legitimately among the best rock songs of the early 2000s
I feel like their true fans appreciate the musicality in their songs. Like sure they're funny, but they're actually very groovy and amazing songs.
The power to "move you"
Man, I genuinely feel sorry for people that have never experienced Tenacious D's music.
i sang this to my ,a month old, son it keeps him from crying the whole night
This is the greatest song in the world.
The most dope UFC walkout song. Perfectly made for Wonderboy
It's a shame he didn't get to walk out stephen on his last fight.
you would never expect someone like jables to hit such high notes like that. And KG did such an amazing guitar solo
what do you mean you wouldn't expect him to hit high notes? that's what he's best at
@@JonJurgenstein i mean an ordinary 60 year old man wouldnt usually hit high notes like that
Posting from 8 years in the future to confirm that Tenacious D still rocks my socks off.
Legendary Stephen WONDERBOY Thompson !!!
I wish Jack had pursued a music/singing career more seriously. He has such a great voice and natural talent.
But then this song wouldn't exist
exactly,he would be amazing if he was more serious but he's already legendary,none of the d's songs would exist if he did and they wouldnt be that unique,just another rockband.
THE D WILL NEVER DIE!!! until....ya know...it does
*****
They're 26 and 35 in rock years.
Sheogorath The mad one viagra can fix that
Stephen Wonderboy Thompson! One of the best ever!
2:06 The slowmotion billowing of Wonderboy's cloak there is like the sickest shit, I've believed this since the first time I ever saw this music video on MTV2.
I had the honor of seeing them when they released their first album in Atlanta. Fucking legends 🤘🏻
Jack has the best white man rock vocals. Super underrated.
This shit make a grown man wanna cry 💯💯💯 this song will always have memories behind it
Yea I had a mate since y4 to y8 and he left we were best of mates I would sing this and he would speak ab it and that
Watching Stephen Thompson walk out to this song in person was magic 🪄
It's 2022 and Jack blacks voice still gives me goosebumps, absolutely amazing
Watched them perform live yesterday and was bummed when they didn't play this song! My only drawback of an otherwise amazing concert!
Tenacious D should do the soundtrack for Game of Thrones.
YAAS
***** Ahead of their times? I dunno about that. Medieval settings have been around since...well...medieval times.
***** I think I see what you're saying. It's kind of a chicken egg thing though. D's flavor is very 1970s Rock'n'Roll mixed with Dungeons and Dragons. It's been around since...well... the 1970s and it came from other things besides. The Lord of the Rings movies, World of Warcraft, Game of Thrones, Guitar Hero, and the digital age have brought this subculture out of the shadows of America's basements and garages, but when I was a kid this kinda stuff was defintely not cool. So in a way you're right. D exhibited a flavor that wouldn't be considered "cool" until much later. But D didn't invent that flavor, nor were they the first to use it, but then that's true with most things.
(-■_■)
I've been beating the shit out of rock and roll with older themes before it was cool.
+Brian Jackson Well said, fellow nerd.
For me this is the greatest and best song in the world that Tribute was written about.
The quality if the song made it a staple of every MP3 player I've ever owned. This is the first I've seen the video and the quality of the cinematography honestly has me a little taken aback.
Buck, man. I miss you come back to game consoles.
Right about now it's time for a BIGGITY BUCK HD REMAKE!
Also nobody knows how much I wish I could edit my original post to say "The quality OF the song"
Buck Bumble Oh yah well your controls were hard to use! one analog stick, but you still had a kick ass theme song!
BUCK TO THE BUCK TO THE BOOM TO THE BASS BUCK TO THE BOOM TO THE baaahhhhmble~
Jon Snow is a total rip off of Wonderboy.
haha (Breathing) hahahaha
jon snow been out since 1993 way early then wonder boy and wonder boy Thomson. brought me here lol
+Wesley Kjelsen oh oh oh oh my god... I was already laughing when my brain read this comment.... I choked... you sir, made me choke on my laugh) Good Work) :D
Reality Check VR Aha (Breathing) Aha, Thanks..
+Rikk Wolf This is like saying that Battle Royale ripped off the hunger games.
