Chapter 3: What memorable stories does Amy recall about early comedy and music influences?
You love to do that, especially like on the red carpet. Like you – I really admire it. You take over. Like you take over that thing so it's your fun time and like people are invited to it. It's not the other way around. Like you have a really good time promoting stuff. You refuse to – have it be boring for you.
If I'm in the zone. Yeah.
Like when you recorded that for Mario, when you recorded the Britney song on the red carpet.
Kung Fu Panda.
Excuse me.
The last Kung Fu Panda, yes.
When you recorded Kung Fu Panda, you recorded, tell me, you recorded a video on the red carpet during the premiere.
So our director of Kung Fu Panda 4 said, hey, I really want a Tenacious D song in the movie. Like, could you guys do a cover? I was like, well, it depends. Like, what do you think? And he was like, you know, Pat Benatar hit me with your best shot. And I was like, I love Pat Benatar, but that doesn't feel right.
And then it was actually Sharon, our manager, who was like, you should do Britney Spears.
