Cee-Lo and Jack Black Perform "Kung Fu Fighting" at 'Panda' Premiere
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 2:31PM
Kung Fu Panda is the first animated movie of the summer, and because of that
and its substantial good qualities, it ought to do very, very well for the next
few weeks.
It's the story of a Panda named Po (Jack Black), who despite his obvious lack
of skills, is chosen to be the Dragon Master, and he must save his village from
the evil Tai Lung (Ian McShane).
Helping with Po's training is Master Shifu (Dustin
Hoffman) and not really helping - because they all thought they could
become the Dragon Master - are the legendary fighters, The Furious Five, a band
of warriors that includes
Angelina Jolie.
The movie held its premiere on Sunday in Los Angeles,
and the event included a rendition of the film's theme, a remake of the classic
"Kung Fu Fighting" by Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley and Jack Black. Here's the live
version of that song. Or at least, the karaoke version hurriedly thrown together
for the premiere.
I swear Kung Fu Panda is much better than this performance.
