I didn't think this was good enough for Whatever Next, not least as I'm unsure how many people are aware of Tenacious D. For those who are aware, however, I humbly offer this *ahem* tribute...
-----------------------------------
[spoken] This is the greatest and best fiction in the world. Tribute.
Long time ago, me and my brother Kyle here
were trudging through some long and dirgesome tome.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of our read.
And he said:
[sung] 'Read me the best book in the world, or I'll eat your soul'
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other, and we each said
'Okay'
[sung] And we read the first book that came to our hands, and it just so happened to be -
It was the best book in the world, it was written by Jasper Fforde.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
That with T-E-A and L-I-A-G-B
Then WOLP makes three.
Once every hundred-odd words or so,
There's a pun doth shine and the mirth doth grow
And the face doth glow...
[spoken] Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are Fforde Ffans."
Rock!
[sung. badly] Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
[sung better]This is not The Greatest Book in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't quote The whole Greatest Book in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Book in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Book in the World,
All right! It was the best litratechin' book - the greatest book in the world.
[2-part skat]
gee, ooh de flliga goo gee ooga fligoo giggoo ooh fligoo giggoo ge gee oogah
goo gee oogah geegoogegegee, fligoo giggoo,oh flig, oh mama Lucifer
[spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the book we read on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
[sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, books! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[skat]
All right! All right!
