Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the dynamic duo behind Tenacious D, have once again showcased their unique blend of comedy and rock by taking on a pop classic. This time, the pair have turned their talents to Britney Spears’ iconic 1998 hit, “…Baby One More Time,” sharing a snippet of their cover along with an energetic video clip that captures their unmistakable enthusiasm and stage presence.
In a playful nod to their upcoming project, Black ends the video with a punchy “BABY” written across his knuckles, hinting at a potential link to the eagerly anticipated animated sequel, Kung Fu Panda 4. The choice of emojis in their posts further fueled fan speculation about the song’s connection to the film.
Tenacious D is no stranger to reinventing popular songs with their signature rock gusto. Their past covers span a diverse range of artists from Chris Isaak to Taylor Swift, consistently delighting fans with their creative interpretations.
Their latest venture into Britney Spears’ territory comes after a year of memorable performances, including Black’s viral rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” and his unexpected performance of “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie during a Jonas Brothers concert. With their latest Britney Spears cover, Tenacious D continues to blur the lines between genres, proving that rock and pop can indeed make a harmonious mix.
