"Video Games" is a song by American comedy rock duo Tenacious D, released on May 11, 2023.
Background
When asked about the meaning of the song, both Black and Gass said "It’s about growing up and leaving childish things behind…. But then realizing that video games are more than just mindless toys…. In fact, they can be a true expression of huge ideas that belong in the pantheon of great works of art! It’s about time someone defended the honor and integrity of this bold new horizon. Leave it to the greatest band in the world… Tenacious D!!!"
The lyrics of the song reference God of War, Fallout 4, and Red Dead Redemption 2. The music video was animated by Adam Paloian's Pinreel Inc. production company, with YouTuber Chris O'Neill co-storyboarding the music video.
