Led Zeppelin - "Stairway to Heaven" - If it was made in 1940!!

[@robertc5200]

I remember listening to this with boys after landing in Saint-Mere-Eglise in June 1944 🇺🇸

[@robothunter1035]

Yeah, this original is so much more upbeat than that slow, whiny rock and roll version.

[@bernardsalzman4707]

This version takes me back to the 40's! And I wasn't even born back then!

[@robothunter1035]

😁

Fun Fact: Back in the 40s in music stors where theysold trumpets and clarinets there was a sign that said "Playing Stairway to Heaven is stirctly forbidden.'

[@garari4466]

Good one!

[@thejoyofthemusicinmylife7897]

Ok the music is far different then the Zeppelin original but the lyrics fit right into this style of music from that era.

[@DCFMgang]

Instant CLASSIC

[@richardmeza7818]

I'm hooked❗

[@nancybeckett890]

This isn't Stairway to Heaven! It has the wrong chords AND the wrong melody! This is a totally different song with the lyrics from Stairway to Heaven cut and pasted over top. I would LOVE to hear a version of Stairway to Heaven recorded in 1940 with a big band! BUT THIS AIN'T IT.

Think l prefer the Rolf Harris version 😉

[@Avo7bProject]

Cue the complainers, who write in comments this is an abomination and must stop! 🙄KZbin doesn't care, posting and watching this adds into the algorithm for promotion.

[@donaldanderson6604]

These oosts are a bit of a con. They take generic big band riffs and put the lyrics on top. I'd be impressed if someone had actually done an arrangement but they haven't. It waa funny the first time but the novelty has worn off.

[@anthonywilliams6764]

You can't make a work of Art from a piece of crap. The singing and the band arrangement is fine, but the song is s*it, always has been and always will be. I am fortunate to have never heard the original.

No...just no
