Stairway to Heaven parody - Mitch Benn - The Now Show

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/nowshow.shtml

There's a man in this land
Who shelled out eighteen grand
To see zeppelin in two thousand seven
If they go out on tour
He will be pretty sore
That'll teach him to be quite so flashy

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha
Oh I'm just being mean cause I'm jealous
And is it only me
Or did there seem to be
Suspicious amounts of celebs in?

I'd be most keen to know
Just a few months ago
How many of them had heard of Led Zeppelin
Because it makes you wonder

And now everyone here is staring at me in fear
Cause this is meant to be Stairway, obviously
And the original song's a good eight minutes long
He's not going to do all of it is he?

I think I'll let you wonder
Nah, that'll do

Dude, trust me, I can play Stairway. It's just that for publishing purposes I can't actually use Stairway's original chords or tune for this, so I had to come up with something similar. So similar in fact I had to make a joke about it,

But glad you liked it anyway,

Mitch Benn is brilliant. I seriously regret missing the one opportunity I had to see him live.

It you're reading yesthatsmitch, please do a gig in Margate next time so I don't have to bully someone who drives.

I first heard it on the radio, turned to my mate and said, hang on, this is about 7:30 minutes, isn't it. He stopped very suddenly.

@yesthatmitch Dude thats true........remember Waynes World, I remember that the scene where Wayne starts playing Stair... originally sounded just like Stair.....later on they changed it. How come some songs they let use everywhere like all the riffs Beavis and Butthead used to humm?
