Tenacious D Does the “Abbey Road” Medley

Jack Black has lovingly one-upped another giant in Tenacious D’s recent Beatles tribute. The release comes on the heels of a series of viral Instagram videos in which Black challenged Chris Hemsworth for the role of Thor.

“She Loves You”: The Beatles, Girl Culture, and The Ed Sullivan Show (Antenna)

The girl doesn’t take her eyes off of him and his mop-topped cohorts while her younger sisters lean forward and smile, equally mesmerized.
