John "Bonzo" Bonham was the hardest hitting (as well as one of the greatest) drummer in all of rockdom. He used massive sticks and had to replace drum heads on a regular basis. He's the driving force behind all of Zeppelin's bangers and a main reason the band was nicknamed "Hammer of the Gods."
You are so right Julie,if you get a chance Julie watche yoyoka a young Japanese drummer who does a lot of led covers. I thins somewhere in her comments that she loved covering bonzo and respected him alot.@@juliemanarin4127
@billtaylor3382 You mean this was the first Zep album you bought? Because this is actually off the 3rd album. BTW I was at this gig. Sydney Showground 1972.
This video is from Led Zeppelin's 1972 tour of Australia and New Zealand, specifically, their concert on February 27th 1972 at the Sydney Showgrounds. Nearly 52 years ago when I was 17. 38,000 attended the concert. As an Aussie of Viking ancestry, the Immigrant Song is one of my all time favourites. Glad you rediscovered this classic.
I was there, I was 17 at the time...The film footage taken from the band's performance at the Sydney Showground in Australia in February 1972; The audio track was from a Long Beach Arena show, in Los Angeles, in 1972.
Robert Plant has an illustrious solo career. He is in fact one of those musicians who has aged gracefully - never shied away from experimentation while not forgetting his roots and age. Big Log, Little by Little, Ship of Fools, 29 Palms, Carry Fire, etc. are some of the songs you may choose to react to. The emotional outpouring that I witness while you react is so honest and overwhelming! Please carry on...
The musical diversity of LZ is incredible. You’ve only scratched the surface. It’s so cool seeing young people discovering their music. Greatest rock band ever!!
I think the producers put songs like this into movies so that the parents that are dragged to these movies by their kids can get a bit of enjoyment, too. Not saying that the Shreck series are bad, but not my cup of tea. "Sissy, why is Daddy playing air-drums?!"
Lol. That “yelling note” could also be described as a viking war cry. Well, it’s hard not to submit to such a sound. They can bring you to the edge of chaos, have you look deep into the abyss and then yank you back from the brink. A dictionary of superlatives can only begin to describe them. And they were that way from the start. Check out their first TV performance of How Many More Times live from Denmark Radio 1969 to see it on full display. Enjoy the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole, there’s none better.
If you really want to see and hear how great of a drummer Bonzo was check out Royal Albert Hall version of "Moby Dick". Its 15 minute drum solo but you'll realize why John "Bonzo" Bonham is considered the greatest drummer of all time and not just rock.
You may think you're getting into a Led Zeppelin vibe, but as you explore further you'll find the vibe of every album is different, often changes within the album and it just gets better every time. Best rock band of all time. Also, everyone's a viking when the "Immigrant Song" plays.
Back in the 80’s I ran an amusement park ride, The Scrambler, in a dome with lights and music. Nothing preprogrammed. Everything was manual and at the operators discretion. This was known as “The punishment song” because at only 2:27, you tick off the operator you get the shortest song we could come up with.
You are still just scratching the surface with Led Zeppelin. I recommend Going to California, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, The Battle of Evermore, Ten Years Gone, Achilles Last Stand, Black Dog or Dazed and Confused. I could go on and on.
The fact that you couldn’t stop grooving is all of the musical knowledge you need. I love watching the minting of new Led Zeppelin fans. It never occurred to me that people under 30 may never have heard them before. Welcome to a fun ride!
It’s Led Zeppelin’s song, it’s in different shows, including The School of Rock with Jack Black. I believe like 11 of their songs are in movie’s commercials shows. The wrote this after going to Iceland, it’s Vikings related.
Stomping! I love Robbies way of pronouncing "Valhalla, I am coming" (especially in the album version) as if he really is longing to get there. This must be around the same time where all the "Lords of the Rings" references started sneaking into their lyrics.
There are two types of people in the world, the ones who realize years later the Shrek tune was led Zeppelin, and the ones who were watching Shrek and instantly started singing along. Both are cool in my eyes!
If you haven’t listened to Achilles Last Stand, that the instrumentals crazy. Plant was in a wheelchair when they recorded that & the album, after him & family were in a bad car accident in Greece. He was in a wheelchair for a year, not knowing if he’d walk again, almost called the wheelchair song.
I also was fixated more on Bonzo, but then again he's my favorite drummer. I could easily populate a list of 10 drummers that I think are fantastic, and a whole bunch more that are really good, but as far as the overall package, and just going on instinct, I just love the way John Bonham plays music so much.
Led Zeppelin *definitely* played around with the studio arrangements of many of their songs in concert. That is one of many reasons that hearing Zeppelin live is a must. You will hear new things that simply don't exist in some of the studio versions of their songs. The great guitar solo in this live recording of "The Immigrant Song" is completely different from anything in the studio version.
Led Zeppelin had a gig in Reykjavik in June 1970 and they got to see my land of ice and snow and I got to see them enjoy the hot springs and the midnight sun and after that they wrote this song, best regards from a fellow Zeppelin lover, from Immy in Iceland.
Love Led Zeppelin. In fact the very first album I ever bought was their 4th album, which has so many amazing tracks. Having said all that, Trent Reznor and Atticus did a very good cover that was used over the opening credits of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Craig Daniel's version).
The simplest way I look at Led Zeppelin was that Jimmy and John Paul Jones cut their teeth as studio musicians who learned how to create and produce the sound they wanted. Robert and John Bonham brought youthful enthusiasm with balls to the walls energy. In the 70s, we had to start with the studio versions, unless you got to see them in concert, until the concert movie, "The Song Remains the Same" was released. I enjoy both versions of the songs for different reasons. Keep going , Stacey!
This has been in many movies; I could see it on your face as soon as they started. It was also in Thor: Ragnarok, School of Rock, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Soldier (1998), and yes, Shrek the Third.
Well done! Another excellent reaction from you! After Pink Floyd they are my favorite band of all time. It is amazing how they managed to sound live as if there were at least 55 of them playing on stage and not just four of them. Incredible energy and incredible talent. Stacy you did a great job again. Keep it up!
@@juliemanarin4127 Well, a matter of personal taste. When I was younger I liked Led Zeppelin more. When I got older Pink Floyd took over the top spot. And actually, most honestly, both bands are on the same level. sometimes I prefer PF, sometimes LZ. Greeting!
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are a flip of the coin for me, the one thing in Zeppelin's favor is they never made a bad or questionable album, for Floyd before Meddle, that was sometimes the case. All in experimenting to hit their stride, when they did, they were as good as anybody. Zeppelin found theirs in their first rehearsal.
The constant smile you had throughout the song pretty much mirrors how most of us feel about Led Zeppelin. A very deep and rich catalog. Don’t stop your journey. Check out RAMBLE ON
For sure and Bill Ward from Black Sabbath (same time frame) . Read somewhere that Bill Ward refused to let Bonham use his kit because he just literally destroys them.
As I said before, they are big fans of Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, fairy tales and various mythologies and lore from around the world. They talk about Valhalla in this song. They were nerds just like us! 🤓
My initiation to Led Zeppelin was back in high school. So hard to get my head around the fact my class just celebrated their 40th anniversary! Stacy, you look amazing! So glad to see you're a fellow 😺 cat lover! I'm sure you will agree with many of us: Love that Led!
Great reaction and insight. More LED for your head: RAMBLE ON, GOOD TIMES; BAD TIMES, KASHMIRE, GOING TO CALIFORNIA, LEVEE BREAKS, DAZED AND CONFUSED, LEMON SONG, and COMMUNICATION BREAK DOWN. You’re awesome 😎 Keep it up 👍
Karrac, one of his sons died at the age of five in July 1977 while Plant was on tour with Led Zeppelin in the United States. The loss had a significant impact on Plant, who retreated to his home in England and questioned his future for months.
Also, Heartbreaker, Ramble on, Bring it on Home, Black Dog, Rock and Roll, Misty mountain hop, When the Levee Breaks, The song remains the same, The rain song, Over the hills and far away, No Quarter, In my time of dying, Ten years gone, Achilles last stand, Fool in the rain……just to name a few. These songs are all well known Zeppelin classics. ….and there are so many more. Enjoy!
Enjoy your reactions. I think you really would like (thank you.) It's a love poem to his wife after they started become successful. Studio version. They're different than the live ones because they add Libs so much on stage
@@StaceyRPGReacts It was a blast. We had a very special culture back then. Young adults shared with one another, we bonded, we were all friends even if we just met, we had REAL freedom. The music was the best in history. No auto tune, no fake pre-recorded music coming out of the PA system, just pure talent. I can make you a laundry list of fabulous bands back then that would blow your mind listening to. To name a few, The Hollies, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues, The Doors, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Star Castle, Rush, Dust, King Crimson, The Band, Steppenwolf, Frank Zappa, Styx, lynyrd skynyrd, The Who, The Greatful Dead, Santana, Joe Cocker, Credence Clearwater Revival, Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon, Elton John, Alce Cooper, The Guess Who, The Strawbs, Gypsy, Heart, Bob Dylan. Too many to name, I can go on, and on all night dropping names. I didn't hang posters on my bedroom wall back then. I used ticket stubs from the concerts I attended as wall paper. FYI, not bragging but, I saw Zeppelin live 5 times. Tickets prices back then were $2.50, $3.50, and for the front row a staggering $4.50. No one puts on acts like these 60''s -70's bands and nothing can compare today.
to properly get into zeppelin,l go from track 1 album 1 and go from there. a few rreeactrors have done that epic journey and theyve all loved it. ps they were so young then! singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did the 1st album!!
You really should look into a song from the Celebration Day concert, they were so good. Robert needed a song or two to warm up, after that they were so great. And it was their swan song (probably)
Jimmy Page's playing was once described by some critic back in the day as "sloppy perfection." He was perfectly capable of playing technically, as before Led Zep he was a sought after session musician, and you don't get to be one of those unless you can play or invent parts in practically any style, on the fly, and do it basically perfectly in one or two takes. But in Zeppelin, especially live, he would improvise and play with feeling more than technical perfection, while still being in control. That's why he's one of the GOATS, and his playing is so different from anyone else and so recognizable. Lots could be said about Bonham, but I'm a stringed instrument guy (with a little harmonica and keyboard thrown in), not a drummer so I'll leave that to people who know drums. All I know is he hit hard, always gave the song what it needed, was seemingly unfazed by strange time signatures and changes, and thew in some of the most badass fills at the right times. Robert, at his prime, had so much soul and passion dripping from his voice it was insane. John Paul Jones, while often overlooked, is a multi-instrumentalist and a musical genius, and I think he was probably the glue that held the rest together, musically speaking. At the very least Zeppelin wouldn't have been Zeppelin without him. 4 GOATs formed a band that was even greater than the sum of its parts.
This song was also in Thor: Ragnarok ... TWO times. 1st was in the early part of the movie in the fight scene vs. Surtur, and the 2nd time was during the fight scene on the rainbow bridge towards the end of the film. Great analysis right away. LOVE THIS SONG!! Wish I could sing like Plant in his prime.
Rumer has it when Led Zeppelin played at the coliseum it was raining. This came up from Jimmy Page , if you walk down Pikes Place Market you can hear and feel it! Dan and Tiffany 1994
This epic song also featured in the movie School of Rock with Jack Black desperately trying to teach modern kids the importance of “real” music! He was also hilarious as one of the introducers of acts at the Kennedy Centre presentation which you watched when Heart sang Stairway…
I am almost 75 I grew up listening to Led Zep Deep Purple and the likes and 1 thing I can honestly say is "You never stop learning new music and I use the term lightly. Although what worries me is. when I hear today's younger people saying things like they have never heard of groups like the Beatles and Pink Floyd or Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin and the like the best known musical talent of their era😊
Their fourth album is the one for me if you're looking for the band's best drum tracks (and just overall). Rock and Roll is as iconic as it gets, Misty Mountain Hop has some bangers for drum fills, Four Sticks has a complex and changing rhythm, Black Dog has explosive fills, and When the Levee Breaks has one of the most sampled drum beats of all time. Though, let's be honest, every Zeppelin song that has drums has amazing drums. Achilles Last Stand, particularly live at Knebworth in 1979, is another long song you might want to take a look at. For their versatility, they have some really incredible acoustic and folky music as well. Gallows Pole, That's the Way, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, The Battle of Evermore (also from the fourth album), Going to California (fourth album), the list can go through all 9 studio albums. I'm a little jealous that you're getting to experience Led Zeppelin for the first time. As much as I love having been listening to them since I was a little kid, I'd love to be diving into their catalogue with all the music knowledge that I've gathered over the years. Despite listening to them for decades, I'm still finding some little hidden gems here and there deep in a song that I never noticed before. They are truly such a deep band. Even a seemingly simple song has so many layers to dissect. Enjoy your journey :)
Soooo many amazing songs...I love this song and it's probably not in my top 10-20 LZ songs. They are That good!!! Songs that really do it for me...Dazed and Confused, When the Levee Breaks, How Many More Times, Thank You, In My Time of Dying, Going to California, Ten Years Gone, ... have fun!!
This song is also in, appropriately, THOR:RAGNAROK, at the beginning, and at the end, and considering Thor is the Viking god of thunder, and the song is about the Norsemen, they mention Valhalla, the hall of fallen Viking heroes.
Led Zeppelin is an experience. Beyond this is only beauty. For those that know. A lyric written into a book in prison I pulled out from the library at 18 years old, pertaining to something else but still the lyric of it remains to me. For those that Know.
The last lyrics of stairway to heaven says..."The tune will come to you at last When all are one, and one is all To be a rock and not to roll"..they wrote this rigth before their drumer died... They stop playing together after his death. Jimmy page said once he was the heart of the music in the band..their songs run at his pace...considered the best drummer ever...
Two songs from their Physical Graffiti album ( The Rover and My Time Of Dying ) are worth checking out but they are much longer. Different style. Take care.😃
Thanks for clearing up the telegram thing. I was scratching MY head on that one. And don't stop the reactions , your excitement hearing these bands for the first time reminds me of the first time I would heard them!!! Maybe it's just me but concerts back then seemed to take on a life of their own and you were part of a living breathing thing!!! Keep them coming!!! Cheers
First heard Zep from my brothers album, blew me away back in 1980. Four master musicians....have a suggestion: please check out "Rush", an equally iconic trio of GOATS!, with one of the top three drummers (along with Bonham & Moon)😎🤟
Dear Stacy, You seem to have a good attitude towards learning. What is a weeb?? This video and song are great. I have heard others compare Robert's vocals to an air raid siren! Robert is rockin great hair! And his usual master control of the show. When it comes to singing, few can do what Robert can! This video is old enough that Bonzo is playing the drums... He was great as is the entire band...!!!! Some women love Robert's blue jeans!!! Jimmy playing is setting his guitar on fire!! A KILLER song, for sure!!!! Good luck to you exploring the great music of this time period... This band is classic!!!! As is this tune!!!! Stacy you have fallen prey to the magic of Zeppelin!!!! Great job girl............ Take care and thanks!!!!!!!
I think it’s safe to say that if a person has watched television or movies from the last 40 plus years that they heard bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, The Who, and more, but may have not realized it! You rock Stacey! 🤟
I listened to Led Zeppelin at 4 am and my neighbours called the police. The police arrested them.
(By the way, I stole this comment from some guy.)
😅
The Police?
😂😂
hope they put them in solitary confinement with nothing but Zep blasting. LOL. They would come out as new good people, and not the criminals they were
John "Bonzo" Bonham was the hardest hitting (as well as one of the greatest) drummer in all of rockdom. He used massive sticks and had to replace drum heads on a regular basis. He's the driving force behind all of Zeppelin's bangers and a main reason the band was nicknamed "Hammer of the Gods."
When he died that is why the band quit
John Bonham is my musical hero. He makes Zeppelin live and breathe.
Very true timothy@@timothybrennan3600
Was and always will be the greatest!
You are so right Julie,if you get a chance Julie watche yoyoka a young Japanese drummer who does a lot of led covers. I thins somewhere in her comments that she loved covering bonzo and respected him alot.@@juliemanarin4127

to properly get into zeppelin,l go from track 1 album 1 and go from there. a few rreeactrors have done that epic journey and theyve all loved it. ps they were so young then! singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did the 1st album!!
You really should look into a song from the Celebration Day concert, they were so good. Robert needed a song or two to warm up, after that they were so great. And it was their swan song (probably)
Kashmir from that concert!!
I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times live!!! And that the best 3 concerts by far.and I seen lots and lots bands thay were great!
Jimmy Page's playing was once described by some critic back in the day as "sloppy perfection."
He was perfectly capable of playing technically, as before Led Zep he was a sought after session musician, and you don't get to be one of those unless you can play or invent parts in practically any style, on the fly, and do it basically perfectly in one or two takes.
But in Zeppelin, especially live, he would improvise and play with feeling more than technical perfection, while still being in control. That's why he's one of the GOATS, and his playing is so different from anyone else and so recognizable.
Lots could be said about Bonham, but I'm a stringed instrument guy (with a little harmonica and keyboard thrown in), not a drummer so I'll leave that to people who know drums. All I know is he hit hard, always gave the song what it needed, was seemingly unfazed by strange time signatures and changes, and thew in some of the most badass fills at the right times.
Robert, at his prime, had so much soul and passion dripping from his voice it was insane.
John Paul Jones, while often overlooked, is a multi-instrumentalist and a musical genius, and I think he was probably the glue that held the rest together, musically speaking. At the very least Zeppelin wouldn't have been Zeppelin without him.
4 GOATs formed a band that was even greater than the sum of its parts.
Greatest band ever! Been a Zeppelin fan since my first Lp “In Through The Outdoor”
There will never be a band can compete with led zeplilin
*Zeppelin
Shrek and school of rock
This song was also in Thor: Ragnarok ... TWO times. 1st was in the early part of the movie in the fight scene vs. Surtur, and the 2nd time was during the fight scene on the rainbow bridge towards the end of the film.
Great analysis right away. LOVE THIS SONG!! Wish I could sing like Plant in his prime.
Rumer has it when Led Zeppelin played at the coliseum it was raining. This came up from Jimmy Page , if you walk down Pikes Place Market you can hear and feel it! Dan and Tiffany 1994
I regularly visit John Bonhams home town of Redditch UK & there’s an impressive metal memorial to him in the town of him playing his drums
This epic song also featured in the movie School of Rock with Jack Black desperately trying to teach modern kids the importance of “real” music! He was also hilarious as one of the introducers of acts at the Kennedy Centre presentation which you watched when Heart sang Stairway…
I am almost 75 I grew up listening to Led Zep Deep Purple
and the likes and 1 thing I can honestly say is "You never stop learning new music and I use the term lightly. Although what worries me is. when I hear today's younger people saying things like they have never heard of groups like the Beatles and Pink Floyd or Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin and the like the best known musical talent of their era😊
Their fourth album is the one for me if you're looking for the band's best drum tracks (and just overall). Rock and Roll is as iconic as it gets, Misty Mountain Hop has some bangers for drum fills, Four Sticks has a complex and changing rhythm, Black Dog has explosive fills, and When the Levee Breaks has one of the most sampled drum beats of all time. Though, let's be honest, every Zeppelin song that has drums has amazing drums.
Achilles Last Stand, particularly live at Knebworth in 1979, is another long song you might want to take a look at.
For their versatility, they have some really incredible acoustic and folky music as well. Gallows Pole, That's the Way, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, The Battle of Evermore (also from the fourth album), Going to California (fourth album), the list can go through all 9 studio albums.
I'm a little jealous that you're getting to experience Led Zeppelin for the first time. As much as I love having been listening to them since I was a little kid, I'd love to be diving into their catalogue with all the music knowledge that I've gathered over the years. Despite listening to them for decades, I'm still finding some little hidden gems here and there deep in a song that I never noticed before. They are truly such a deep band. Even a seemingly simple song has so many layers to dissect. Enjoy your journey :)
This song is also prominently featured in the movie "School of Rock" if you've seen that.
Soooo many amazing songs...I love this song and it's probably not in my top 10-20 LZ songs. They are That good!!! Songs that really do it for me...Dazed and Confused, When the Levee Breaks, How Many More Times, Thank You, In My Time of Dying, Going to California, Ten Years Gone, ... have fun!!
This song is also in, appropriately, THOR:RAGNAROK, at the beginning, and at the end, and considering Thor is the Viking god of thunder, and the song is about the Norsemen, they mention Valhalla, the hall of fallen Viking heroes.
It's also used in Thor Ragnarok for one the most iconic moments in that movie.
Worth a watch.
This song has been used in several movies including Thor Ragnorock!
Led Zeppelin is an experience. Beyond this is only beauty. For those that know. A lyric written into a book in prison I pulled out from the library at 18 years old, pertaining to something else but still the lyric of it remains to me. For those that Know.
Thanks!
Thank you Luis!!!❤️
The last lyrics of stairway to heaven says..."The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll"..they wrote this rigth before their drumer died... They stop playing together after his death. Jimmy page said once he was the heart of the music in the band..their songs run at his pace...considered the best drummer ever...
I was at this concert. Sydney Showground, Australia 1971/72. That's me in the grandstand with the long hair. LOL.
Great reaction!!! Jimmy Page just turned 80 this week!
I apologize for not checking back here earlier to see your message Stacey,I'm not on here a lot.
Led Zeppelin is like a team of harnessed, wild horses, galloping toward the Sun.
John Bonham and John Paul Jones are just kickin it big time....Jimmy and Robert were awesome too!
My neighbours agree that Led Zeppelin is a great band!
This song was also in the movie Thor: Ragnarok.
Song remains the same is a great movie , have a listen you won’t be disappointed. God Bless young lady 🙏❤️🙌🏻😎
This is why their the greatest rock band ever
Omg memories shivers down my spine
Bless you Stacy, enjoy your zeplin journey❤
Led Zeppelin 'When the Levee Breaks'
Two songs from their Physical Graffiti album ( The Rover and My Time Of Dying ) are worth checking out but they are much longer. Different style. Take care.😃
Absolutely
If Rock was a universe, Zeppelin would be the sun.
When I listen to Zeppelin, everyone in my neighborhood is too! 😂
Yes absolutely the BEST rock band ever, Earl's Court 1975 "trampled under foot" a must see
Thanks for clearing up the telegram thing. I was scratching MY head on that one. And don't stop the reactions , your excitement hearing these bands for the first time reminds me of the first time I would heard them!!!
Maybe it's just me but concerts back then seemed to take on a life of their own and you were part of a living breathing thing!!! Keep them coming!!! Cheers
The proof is that this is ageless.
If this was released today it would still chart and bring joy to millions .
First heard Zep from my brothers album, blew me away back in 1980. Four master musicians....have a suggestion: please check out "Rush", an equally iconic trio of GOATS!, with one of the top three drummers (along with Bonham & Moon)😎🤟
There’s thunder in heaven. R I P Bonzo. 💖
This is pure Rock'n Roll
Dear Stacy,
You seem to have a good attitude towards learning. What is a weeb?? This video and song are great. I have heard others compare Robert's vocals to an air raid siren! Robert is rockin great hair! And his usual master control of the show. When it comes to singing, few can do what Robert can! This video is old enough that Bonzo is playing the drums... He was great as is the entire band...!!!! Some women love Robert's blue jeans!!! Jimmy playing is setting his guitar on fire!! A KILLER song, for sure!!!! Good luck to you exploring the great music of this time period... This band is classic!!!! As is this tune!!!! Stacy you have fallen prey to the magic of Zeppelin!!!! Great job girl............ Take care and thanks!!!!!!!
Who knew that Snow White could sing Led Zeppelin! (it's the character Snow White in Shrek that sings part of the song and initiates the 'attack'.)
Bonham on When The Levee Breaks is iconic and 🔥
Yes! Absolutely.
If you love drumming in Led Zeppelin, you absolutely need to react to "Achilles Last Stand" 😏
This song is used near the beginning & end of THOR Ragnarok!
I think it’s safe to say that if a person has watched television or movies from the last 40 plus years that they heard bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Deep Purple, The Who, and more, but may have not realized it!
You rock Stacey! 🤟
To this day they still hold records for single act performance
@UCHUshITxGPQQ24tb2WQyxBg nice to talk to you also it would be, I don’t have telegram,now what?
was lucky enough to have seen them back in the mid 70s. they were fantastic.
The fucking mighty Zeppelin !
HAHAH the first second I saw your face when you knew that you've heard this song, I knew you were thinking about the movie Shrek xDD
