In October 2020, just weeks away from the pivotal Presidential Election, Tenacious D dropped their cover of The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s “Time Warp” as a political call to action - cleverly urging voters to “take a jump to the left, and not a step to the right.” 

The accompanying music video featured participation from politicians and cultural tastemakers alike, including Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttegieg, Ilana Glazer, Sarah Silverman, George Takei, John Waters, Susan Sarandon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Karen O, Phoebe Bridgers, King Princess, Eric Andre, Reggie Watts and more. 

Simultaneously, an Instagram filter was released, giving fans the ability to engage with the blue lipstick highlighted on the single’s artwork - spurring a wave of UGC content online. 

The result? The music video reached a peak of #17 on the YouTube Trending list and was covered by CNN, MSNBC, Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard, SPIN, Los Angeles Times, SPIN, NME, Steregum and more - creating an instant and effective viral moment with an important message. 

Proceeds from the limited edition 7” vinyl benefitted to Rock The Vote.
