Tenacious D

Tenacious D

Tenacious D is a rock duo of actors/musicians Jack Black ("J.B." or "Jables") and Kyle Gass ("K.G." or "Kage"). Their sasquatch connection consists of being both obsessed with the subject, and they recorded two songs based on this obsession, Sasquatch and Papagenu (He's My Sassafras). They did a segment on their HBO show where they performed their first song, and their other bigfoot song was part of a hallucination sequence in the 2006 feature-film Tenacious D In The Pick of Destiny.

Sasquatch

Sasquatch is a song written and performed by rock duo Tenacious D. The lyrics are as follows:

There were some scientists trying to figure out the sasquatch riddle, then they figured out it was a missing link. In Search of sasquatch, that was a kick-ass "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy kickin' out the jams, ha! He captured imaginations of people all around the globe, his name was Sasquatch so I'm told, His legend's ancient in the ancient scribe of the Indian Tribe, Apache Tribe, Scientists have proven that the sasquatch he is real, Take a look at the plaster casts of his foot now you know he's real, Listen real close to the audiotape not human now you know he's real, Couldn't be a man in a gorilla suit, no f***in' way now you know he's real, Real (Real) Real, Real, (Real) Real, Really Real, Real.

(Musical break)

Don't take this personally, because it's not about your playing, Dude, your drumming is kick-*ss, it's just that the "D", it's always just been me and K.G. And we're just not comfortable with being a power trio, I hope there's no hard feelings.

Sasquatch, we know your legend's real, Sasquatch, we know your love is real, Sasquatch, you, and Tenacious D are..real.
