Say What?!?!?! Liberals to edit Led Zeppelin?

Liberals want to edit Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta love”. What?!?!

Via UK Telegraph:

After choosing the song for the closing ceremony on Sunday they decided that some of the lyrics would have to be omitted or re-written amid concerns that they could cause offence.

The song was chosen as the centrepiece of an eight-minute £2.5million British segment at the event in Beijing at which the Olympic flag will be officially passed to the London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Organisers of the London 2012 Games commissioned the band’s guitarist Jimmy Page to record a new version of the song to be performed on top of a special red double-decker bus accompanied by Leona Lewis, winner of the ITV reality television show The X Factor, with David Beckham looking on.

But, according to London 2012 officials, Lewis – who grew up in east London close to the Olympic site – requested a change to the song’s second verse because she was worried they would not make sense for a female singer.

In the original, recorded in 1969, frontman Robert Plant sings, “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love”.

But in the version that will be sung tomorrow, however, Lewis changes the words to “every bit” of my love.

The band also agreed to a request from organisers to drop the third verse, which includes similar sexual innuendoes, to fit in to the eight-minute performance.

Oy! Talk about political correctness gone horribly wrong.

Poor Jimmy page man…

Cue the song!

Tampering with Zeppelin?!?!? It ought to be a crime!
