You mean you didn't know that Zeppelin covered that? If you haven't seen that movie be sure and rent it - it great.

That was in fact an Aussie band called the Beatnix. from the 80's they are (that's right they are still performing today) among the best of the tribute bands. I know one of the guys that played with them, Blake Morrison who came from a long family history of musician ship, his father being a pre-eminent jazz musician. Blake himslef also playted and taught classicla and flamenco guitar and to this day is still the proprietor of a Music Store funnily enough called Blake's music in Windsor, a small rural town on the western outskirt of Sydney. Check out their website here

No, it's a medley of beatles tunes with the Zep Lyrics, and its from the Australian comedy show "The Money or The Gun". Not quiet correct. The Money Or The Gun featured different acts each week performing Stairway To Heaven. The Beatnix did the Beatles-type version. There was an Australian Doors tribute band, and Rolf Harris with his wobbleboard doing a Tie Me Kangaroo Down parody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Money_or_the_Gun http://www.amazon.com/Stairways-Heaven-Money-Gun/dp/B000BJTJE8

I believe it was a condition of being on the show that you had to do a cover of Stairway to Heaven so there was a different performer doing it every week. They even released an album from the show, "Stairways to Heaven" that contained all of the perfromances from the series. It has some interesting renditions on it. The Rolf Harris version is interesting. Apparently he and his band had never heard the song so they got hold of the sheet music and played it their own way. It was such a success for Rolf that he went on to release an album of pop/rock covers.

Rolf Harris with his wobbleboard doing a Tie Me Kangaroo Down parody. That was quite funny as I remember.. 'Ooh, it makes me wonder...what about you fellas?'' (BGV's) ''It makes us wonder!!'' Probably funny just once though....
