"Fuck Her Gently" is a 2001 Tenacious D song. It is the sixth track on their self titled album.

[edit] Synopsis

The vulgarity of the lyrics is contrasted by the low-key acoustic ballad style of the song. The singer contends that he is speaking "for the ladies", but advises men to listen closely. The theme of the song is essentially that women sometimes need to have their needs attended through gentle, romantic sexual encounters. The refrain contains variations of this sentiment:

I'm gonna fuck you... softly

I'm gonna screw you... gently

I'm gonna hump you... sweetly

I'm gonna ball you... discreetly

During the song, the singer demonstrates his sensitivity by suggesting that he would bring flowers and explaining his need for a relationship involving team work. He then offers to engage in the woman's favorite sexual position and inquires about the woman's favorite food. Although he concedes he will not cook the dish himself, he declares with a flourish that he will order it from "Zanzibar".

At the end of the song, having recounted in numerous ways how he will pleasure his partner with gentle lovemaking, the singer closes by declaring, But then I'm gonna fuck you... hard!

[edit] Music video

Black in the "Fuck Her Gently" video.

It’s a public service announcement, we’re saying, ‘Don’t always slam genitalia as hard as you can.’ I’ve seen pornos where the guys are ramming away, and the girls are pretending to enjoy it because they’re getting paid. That’s a bad message being sent to kids watching those pornos. And this is our way of counteracting it.

— Jack Black on the music video for "Fuck Her Gently".^[1]

Black viewed John Kricfalusi's website and, after watching The Ren and Stimpy Show, decided to ask him to produce the video.^[2] The total costs amounted to $40,000.^[2] The video was animated by John Kricfalusi, creator of The Ren and Stimpy Show, and his studio Spümcø. Gabe Swarr directed and cowrote the video.^[1] Ben Jones was the layout artist and Derrick Wyatt designed the characters.^[3] It features cartoon version of band members Jack Black and Kyle Gass as nude cherubim sent from heaven to teach the Devil, who'd been having frantic sex with a female devil, to be loving in his relations with women. While at first concisely taking notes, Devil becomes enraged when he realizes that the cherubim are now pleasuring the she-devil instead, and moves to attack them. Before he can accomplish this, the cherubim and the ecstatic female float out of his reach, rising to Heaven. When Heaven comes into view, a being appearing to be God appears; this is the same person as the record store attendant in "Death of the Dream", an episode of the short lived Tenacious D television series. The light of Heaven disintegrates the Devil, and the video ends with a static "The End" card, showing the cherubin with the she-devil, now an angel, albeit no more discreetly dressed than she was to begin with. The video was made in Adobe Flash.

Initially, Sony Music did not allow the video on Tenacious D's site, and placed it on Grand Royal's. It later relented.^[4]
