Tenacious D Does It Again in Kung Fu Panda 4 That Brings Britney’s Classic to the Next Level
If there’s one band that knows how to put fun and talent all in one, it’s Tenacious D. Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the swinging duo, has performed their humorous version of Britney Spears’ famous hit “…Baby One More Time” for the movie Kung Fu Panda 4. While promoting the film, they even showcased their feeling for Britney by saying, “I love you,” to the pop singer.
“I was like, ‘Can we do a Britney Spears one?’ And director Mike Mitchell said, ‘Yes.’” This was how Jack Black described his thoughts about the decision to perform the cover song. Apparently, ‘…Baby One More Time’ sounds good enough to be part of Kung Fu Panda’s soundtrack according to him.
Jack Black also stressed that he particularly wishes he could work with Spears stating, I’m here! I’m ready when you are. I’m just sitting by the phone: ‘Come on, any time’. I have moves you know! Moves not at the Britney level say, but I have moves.”
In a light hearted conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Black was faced with the task of talking to Yuri and BBC Radio about Britney leaving the message for her. He said, “Britney, I love you. Love the song, if it’s coming from you. We are very proud of our version and hope that you are pleased.” to which he simply says – “of course.”
Kung Fu Panda 4 will be released in theaters on 8th March with Jack Black voice acting Po Ping once more. Here is a little sneak peek of what you can expect – this is going to be a very panda filled entertaining movie in a very amusing way!
