Already clocking at over 6 million views on YouTube, the Tenacious D frontman’s song Peaches – which was co-written by Jack, plus the film’s directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, along with Eric Osmond and John Spiker – hears Jack as his character Bowser reflecting on his absolute love for Princess Peach (played by Anya Taylor-Joy).
