Me and two of my friends were coming back from band practice, in a car, and listening to Tenacious D on the way home. My mom called me, crying, saying that her father, my grandad, had died. So now, when I hear this song, I start thinking of my grandad, and well.. yeah.
The whole deal is sad and funny at the same time. Somewhat ironic for a pisstake song to bring a tear to my eye, especially when it's a parody of songs that try to make you cry...
The music video doesn't make it any less tragicomic.
