American comedy rock duo Tenacious D, which consists of actor Jack Black and musician Kyle Gass, first teased their rock rendition of 'Baby One More Time' in a recent TikTok and Instagram video.
Finally, the band released the full version as well as the music video, which they recorded on the red carpet at Sunday's Los Angeles premiere of Black’s new film, 'Kung Fu Panda 4'.
The song is said to play over the end credits of this fourth instalment of the animated film franchise.
In the video, Black and his bandmate Gass can be seen hilariously rocking on the red carpet while the 'Kung Fu Panda' lead can be seen pulling off some impressive high front kicks on the carpet.
The duo was also joined by the film's co-stars, including Bryan Cranston, Ke Huy Quan, Dustin Hoffman, Awkwafina, and James Hong.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cover came after 'Kung Fu Panda 4' director Mike Mitchell wanted to include a Tenacious D song in the film.
"He said, 'Hey, we would love to have a Tenacious D song for the end credits,' and I was like, 'Really? Can we do Britney Spears?' He said, yeah, and he said, 'Let's do Hit Me Baby One More Time for the kung fu aspect of that song,' and we were like, 'Hell yeah.'"
