KONG SONG WITH JACK
BLACK
Yes that's right while Jack Black was here in NZ filming King Kong he asked
if we along with our good friend and long term collaborator David Long (We go
under the name the Elvish Impersonators) would play on, record and produce a
song he had just written. "Kong Song",
an Epic rock anthem in the grand tradition was created after a number of very
"School of Rock" moments.
The song has finally seen the light of day on the just released extended King
kong DVD playing over the credit roller.
