She's Just A Woman

This post will be short as tomorrow I'll be putting up a special post; it isn't a cover, but rather a rare (but hilarious) Super Bowl Shuffle ripoff where you'll get to hear a cornucopia of PRO WRESTLERS rapping; oh it's even worse than it sounds!

Today, though, is Great White (as an aside, lead singer Jack Russell is not related to me) and their cover of the classic Led Zeppelin song "Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)", a song still commonly heard on classic rock stations in tandem with "Heartbreaker". Ironically, it was something Great White did in concert, while the original Led Zeppelin version was never performed in front of crowds. It makes sense for Great White to pick this tune out, as many people have noted how they sound similar to Zeppelin in terms of vocals and music. That's a lot more believable to me than the claims of Whitesnake sounding a lot like Zep.

I first heard the song at a wrestling show, of all places, and I found it on one of those cheap 6 dollar CD's you can find in places like Best Buy. I can't find it online so instead here is a similar CD that also has the song.

Tomorrow afternoon will be the wrestling-related song.
