"At least one of its lyrics has been questioned though as to its truthfulness. There is ongoing disagreement in the realm of Tenacious D fans as to whether "the power... to move you" in fact constitutes a superpower."

Ha! And of course there's no source for that... I'd remove it, but it's funny. 82.92.119.11 06:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

This article states Wonderboy is the second single while the tenacious d article states it is the first...

[edit] Hydra

I don't think we actually see the Hydra in the video, although it's mentioned in the song at the point where Black starts swinging his sword around. I tried to word this as well as I could, but someone else who achieved a full eight hours of sleep could probably do better.--Agent Aquamarine 12:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] True Meaning of the song

Am I the only person who thinks that this song is about KG and JB double banging one chick? Mastercheif 08:23, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Seriously, lay off the ganj. --OMG LAZERS 00:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

whats are you talking about, thats the song double team from the same album.

[edit] Powers of Wonderboy?

I'm pretty sure the powers are, infact, powers of Nasty Man. The way the song is phrased kind of implies that the powers are those that make Nasty man comparable to Wonderboy. Additionally, Wonderboy is frequently seen climbing, so it's doubtful he has the power of telekinesis, while Nasty Man is always present at the hill tops when Wonderboy arrives.


[edit] Style parody

If "Tribute" is meant to parody "Stairway to Heaven", then this song could be a style parody of "More Than a Feeling". - 155.143.195.239 10:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

doubtful, 155.143.195.239. in fact, i'm forced to ask, have you ever even heard 'more than a feeling'? Alistic (talk) 23:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First Single?

Both this page and Tribute have the album as the first album released from the album. Can someone please find out and edit the required page. peterismeok 20:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics

Aren't those lyrics copyrighted or somethings? Or have you got permission from Tenacious D/Random Recording Company or something? --Kaizer13 23:32, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:LYRICS. I removed them. Aside from being a copyright violation, just quoting the lyrics has no encyclopedic value. The article already describes the song, too. 82.95.254.249 00:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References in "Wonder Boy"

I was always under the impression that "Wonder Boy" referenced the Alan Moore version of the the comic book superhero Young Marvelman/Miracleman, (http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/y/yungmarv.htm) and not on the video game "Wonder Boy in Monster Land".
I suggest an investigation and possible change to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.205.71 (talk) 00:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buckethead Cover

Shouldnt be note that buckethead covers or covered the song live? i have prof. Archive.org buckethead concert —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.211.194 (talk) 15:41, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
