Led Zeppelin agreed to let one of their songs be used in the soundtrack for the upcoming comedy film "School Of Rock" only because its star, Jack Black, asked personally. According to the studio, Black (half of the comedy rock act Tenacious D) stepped in after "School Of Rock" director Richard Linklater ("Slacker", "Dazed and Confused") was unable to get permission to use "Immigrant Song." Jack Black reportedly sent a humorous videotaped request for the song to the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin, who subsequently gave their approval. The "School Of Rock" soundtrack comes out September 30, while the film opens October 3.
Zeppelin is not the only classic band on the soundtrack. The 17-track set also features songs from the Who, the Doors, Cream, Stevie Nicks, the Ramones, and T. Rex. The album also features a rendition of AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)" performed by Black and the film's child actors.
"School Of Rock" stars Black as a musician who becomes a substitute school teacher after being kicked out of his group and winds up teaching his students how to be a band. The movie also stars Sarah Silverman and Joan Cusack.
