Tenacious D cover of Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Time Warp" to help support Rock the Vote!

It’s astounding… time is fleeting… and the 2020 election is here. Time to ROCK-Y THE VOTE!
And remember: it's just a jump to the LEFT, and not a step to the right!





Tenacious D have released a cover of Rocky Horror Picture Show‘s “Time Warp” to help support Rock the Vote.

In the accompanying music video — which features Jack Black in some very on-point Rocky Horror costumes — the band get a little help from their friends in getting out the vote. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Susan Sarandon, Sarah Silverman, John Waters, Jamie Lee Curtis, Karen O, Reggie Watts, Ezra Miller, Ilana Glazer, Phoebe Bridgers, John Heilemann, George Takei, Eric Andre, King Princess, Michael Peña, and Peaches all make appearances in the star-studded fundraiser.

A limited-edition vinyl edition of the single is available for purchase via the Tenacious D webstore with proceeds from all the vinyl sales to be donated to Rock the Vote.

I hate that Susan Sarandon was in it. I mean I know she was in the original Rocky Horror Picture Show but she had a hand in fucking everybody over in 2016 with her 'protest vote'.

That being said, damn Jack Black can belt it!

I may be a bit old-fashioned, but I can't forgive someone until they can apologize, admit they were wrong, and show definitive steps of penance.

To the best of my knowledge, she has done none of these.

...two thirds of which are clips from the movie.

This is a treat, so don't let her presence spoil it for you.
