Three Tune Tuesday - A tribute to the best song in the world !

It that time of the week again - Three Tune Tuesday, a great weekly community event started by @ablaze !

Lately I've been watching a video and song that I've always absolutely loved, even though it is a bit of a spoof - Tenacious D - Tribute. A couple of key facts about this song:

• Tenacious D is fronted by funny man Jack Black,
• The song is a tribute to the greatest song in the world, allegedly !,
• The chord sequence in parts, draws very heavily from Stairway to Heaven.

But in terms of comedy factor the lyrics and video are brilliant !

And considering that Tribute borrows heavily from Stairway to Heaven, then that had to be the next tune - but, did you ever hear the Dread Zeppelin version ?????

I could only find a still video - the only other ones were terrible live versions. Its a brilliant version of the song. A couple of cool facts about Dread Zeppelin, and this song:

• Dread Zeppelin is fronted by an Elvis Impersonator called Tortelvis !
• They play Zeppelin songs in a reggae-stylie !
• Listen out for the cool xylophone solo played at the end by band member Fresh Cheese !

And then not at all related to the first two songs is a number by the 1975, called if you're too shy:

Its an absolutely cracking tune. It has the vibes of the 80s, but is a modern number. The video is a but quirky. And the lyrics are pretty crazy - I had listened to it a lot on Spotify not quite catching what the lyrics were saying, and then when I saw this video with the subtitles I was quite surprised ! A tad suggestive - great song musically though !

Well thats my three tunes for this week - hope you enjoy them
