Stairway to Somewhere

I don’t know if I should be calling this video brilliant, perverted, or a wakeup call for western civilization or all of the above.

Sotted via Boingboing’s Cory Doctorow who writes,

This superb video mashup from The Beatnix takes fuzzy footage of the Beatles in concert and seamlessly converts it to a pleasepleaseme-esque rendition of Stairway to Heaven. John Scalzi promises it’ll make your head explode and he’s not far wrong.

If you have a hankerin' for "Stairway" covers, check out WFMU's absurdly excellent compilation of MP3s. I recommend the Nashville Super Pickers and Rodrigo y Gabriela versions; those with a masochistic bent may derive sick gratification from the Tiny Tim, Pat Boone, and Dolly Parton covers.

This is good. But let's not forget the original, and still champion, Stairway mashup, Stairway to Gilliagan's Island. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTCYLbFxTpI)
