Led zeppelin stole this from Valens. It’s basically Valens’ “ooh my head”.

I frankly hated Imbruglia's "poppy" take on the song. Ednasnap's original version is properly dark, moody and fitting with the lyrics.


As for below, I always thought Roberta Flack's version was the original.

I think Page was fairly proficient at 'borrowing' from others. Just ask anyone that was in the band Spirit about Stairway to Heaven.


And I just found out that Stevie Wonder's version of a song he wrote is actually a cover. Who woulda thunk it?
