Rock Star Startles Hosts with Adorable, Though Possibly a Little Gassy, Song
Jack Black wrote the theme song for the current Peacock series, Olympic Highlights, starring Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. This move is likely to make even the most unflappable Olympic competitor smile. An exclusive clip of the unexpected serenade highlights Black’s trademark mix of rock-and-roll energy and humor.
During the performance, Tenacious D’s Grammy-winning vocalist revealed his gift, stating, “I wrote you a little song in honor of you and the amazing work you’re doing for this Olympic season.”
With evident delight, Hart and Thompson pushed Black to sing the ditty. What came next was a short but unforgettable performance, with lyrics that showcased the pair’s unusually funny abilities:
“Kenan Thompson and Kevin Hart / Talking smack and talking smart! / Cracking jokes and lighting farts,” Black crooned. “Kenan and Kevin are igniting it! The Olympics are getting fired up!”
Hart was so taken aback by the line about “lighting farts” that his wonder soon gave way to laughter. Thompson, on the other hand, found it difficult to hold back his laughs during the song.
With a flourish, Black finished, and Thompson said, “Yeah! That’s the beginning. That’s how a song starts. I enjoy it.
Ever the collaborator, Black recognized the rough edges of the song. “It’s an ongoing project,” he chuckled.
Hart did have one small criticism, though: “I don’t think we needed the fart part, though.”
Watch for Additional Olympic Jokes
One thing is certain: Hart and Thompson’s Olympic Highlights series is jam-packed with entertainment, even though the theme song’s final rendition is still up in the air. Watch new episodes on Peacock every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Don’t forget to watch the exclusive clip that showcases Black’s unexpected performance.
