Jahfin Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I never did buy this (and am not sure I ever will) but I do remember when it came out, a complete album of nothing but Stairway covers: 1. Stairway to Heaven - Kate Ceberano And The Ministry Of Fun 2. Stairway to Heaven - John Paul Young 3. Stairway to Heaven - Pardon Me Boy 4. Stairway to Heaven - Rolf Harris 5. Stairway to Heaven - The Austrailian Doors Show 6. Stairway to Heaven - Sandra Hahn And Michael Turkic 7. Stairway to Heaven - Robyne Dunn 8. Stairway to Heaven - Neil Pepper (Elvis) 9. Stairway to Heaven - The Rock Lobsters 10. Stairway to Heaven - The Beatnix 11. Stairway to Heaven - Vegimite Reggae 12. Stairway to Heaven - Leonard Teal Quote
The Rover Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Remember Second City TV ? ? ? Rock Moranis does a polka version of STH. There was also a wonderful commercial as part of that bit, a "Starways To Heaven" commcerical, with different SCTV created "bands" performing STH.... Too bad, that due to publishing rights issues... you'll not see this on the SCTV DVDs that came out a few years ago.... Quote
zephead67 Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I like cheese the sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know Quote
Lady Goodman Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 All of these are so great! I never did buy this (and am not sure I ever will) but I do remember when it came out, a complete album of nothing but Stairway covers: 1.

Stairway to Heaven - Leonard Teal Andrew Denton did a great interview with Page and Plant where he played for them some of these Stairway Tributes. OMG, it's so funny. I like the pirates. At the end of the show Page and Plant in reply, play their version of Rolf Harris' song Sun Arise. Remember Second City TV ? ? ? Rock Moranis does a polka version of STH.

Schmenge Brothers: Linsk Minyk at 5:25 SCTV Stairways To Heaven My favorite: America's favorite copy cat, Rich Little. Singing it as only he can, so close to the original, it's scary. - Then they use Robert's actual voice. Quote
Soccerzubs Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 nah, the best is Richard Cheese's version. I only really enjoyed the part where he said "purchasing" instead of "buying the Stairawy to Heaven" Quote

JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Foo Fighters I have seen this before. i love Dave's "solo" :lol: Quote
Evermore Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 As a parody Richard Cheese's is my favorite. The Beatnix was actually just good. The resemblance of Paul and John is uncanny. Thanks for those everyone! Quote
Evermore Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 eh.. I wished I hadn't seen the Foo Fighters version. Quote
sweetfruityjungle Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 I read an interview with Robert Plant few weeks ago. He didn't remember what inspired them to write 'Stairway to heaven' but now he knows that they write it for Dolly Parton. I totally aree with him Quote
manderlyh Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) I love the Foo Fighters version! Dave's quite the actor, isn't he? "What's the next line?" "DAVE!" Edited December 22, 2007 by manderlyh Quote
The Rover Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) THanks for the links Lady Goodman !! K-TEL Records Presents 30 Versions of Stairway To Heaven ! ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O9_HEYcMr8&NR=1 Edited December 23, 2007 by The Rover Quote
Jahfin Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I read an interview with Robert Plant few weeks ago. He didn't remember what inspired them to write 'Stairway to heaven' but now he knows that they write it for Dolly Parton. I totally aree with him I'm not sure I totally understand but I do know Dolly wanted to add/alter a few lines in the song and she got approval from Page & Plant prior to recording her version. In fact, I believe they said they liked the new lyrics better. Quote
LukeTheDuke Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Dread Zeppelin: totally different and reggae style!! I love it (as a song not as a cover ...) and I can't forget the one from the mighty Frank Zappa (probably the best cover ever, also on CD single!) Quote
sweetfruityjungle Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I love the Foo Fighters version! Dave's quite the actor, isn't he? "What's the next line?" "DAVE!" I love his guitar solo. Really kiss Jimmy's ass Quote
