Classico is the second song on comedy rock band Tenacious D's 2006 film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, as well as the movie's soundtrack album.
The song, featured in the movie, is an exploration of classical guitar music in aid of proving Kyle Gass's musical prowess to Jack Black. In it, Gass plays sections from Bach's Bourrée in E minor (from Suite in E minor, BWV 996), Für Elise by Beethoven and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart. Jack sings along harmoniously to Gass's guitar playing and thus proves to Lee, that Tenacious D is a viable band.
Tenacious D previously used the theme from the Bach Bourrée in their song "Rock Your Socks".

The video was animated by John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show, and features cartoon version of band members Jack Black and Kyle Gass performing in front of an audience of various animals. It was first aired during the week beginning October 30, 2006.[1]
