Definitely sounds like The Lion Sleeps Tonight which was released in 1961. Wimoweh!

go fuck yourself again

Aw, no need to be rude.

Page DID steal other people's music. This isn't even debatable, rather just a plain fact.

Sadly, his later musical talents proves that he didn't need to.

He's also more successful than the people whose songs he stole.

Doesn't make it right.

Stop picking on jimmy, he is more successful in one day than you are in your whole life!

[TheNotorious GlimmerTwins]

One of my favorite Yardbirds tunes.

The Gregorain chanting along with the melancholy atmosphere create a surreal masterpiece.

Thanks for the info. Liviu Craciun ,it is all connect the dots I say,good to hear from another Yardbirds fan.Wonder if Frank Farian ever got anyone to cover the other Yardbird great in same vein,Turn Into Earth?Have you ever heard the reformed Yardbird Cd from 2003 led by Jim and Chris The last track is titled "An Original Man(A Song For Keith),great tribute great song ,the chanting is there and all,like the spirit of Keith was ther guiding them,check it out.Jp

Here is one guy that used Gregorian chants quite well, albeit in the 80's: Michael Cretu and his Enigma project.

As a coincidental side note, he was selected at some point as a keyboard player by Frank Farian. Frank being none else but the man behind Boney M. The Boney M that had covered this very same song: Still I'm Sad.

Well now I can't get that out of my head, and you've ruined this song for me....fuck you.
