who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: geek goddess, film critic, and Generation Xer. I'm a writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

This is actually from an Australian talk show ("The Money or the Gun") in the early 1990s; the running gag was that they had a new musical act each week, but they always played Stairway to Heaven; this was one of three Beatles-esque variations.
CD with all of the versions:

I used to have that CD myself. The interpretation of the song by Rolf Harris (an Australian who's been a celebrity in the UK since the 1960s) did really well in the British charts as a novelty single. I think it might have got to number one, actually.
