I love the Puddles Pity Party character. His voice is incredible.

The best version of Stairway I've ever heard is when Heart did it at the Kennedy Center Tribute to Led Zeppelin:

In her day, maybe the best female voice in rock.

She could still put them all to shame when that was recorded.

And in the "I think I'm gonna puke" category...

I Puddles

The guy behind the Puddles persona is from Atlanta, and performed (not as Puddles) in a small club there for years.

I'll see your Neil Sedaka and raise you a Pat Boone:

O shit

Loved the choir with Heart. Who was playing the Les Paul I wonder. He kind of mucked it up.

It takes a LOT of courage to play that song for the original band.

I think it was LuFin's Dad who introduced me to the joys of Richard Cheese years ago. He was quite the hit in the OR, particularly during heart surgery.

[LuFins Dad]

Nice act but the song is not original.

Agree although there are much better examples.

Ahhh, missed that. As I was listening to it, I said "Wait! I remember listening to this on Dr. Demento...

Gee you're old...

Horace wanted me to tell you all that he thinks she's fat.
Very rude, I know.

I saw Heart when I was a kid, in Vancouver BC at a non-alcohol club. That shows how young I was. I was blown away, not only by the quality of the band, but the house PA system which I'd never seen before anywhere. When we played clubs over the years, it was just play loud, and then louder.

As for you jerks that put up the other YouTube stuff, no way am I going to listen to someone that will forever ruin my love of "Stairway..."
Pat Boone. Lord help us.
That's at least one rank above Jesus I think.

@Larry

You owe me a new keyboard.

This is the post of the month!

(In A Gadda Vida was a bit of a stretch, though...)
