15 Ridiculous Cover Versions That Are Better Than The Original

9. Dread Zeppelin Performs Immigrant Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CO7FPU7a2g Sometimes a cover song is performed by a cover band. Often the cover bands are full tribute bands that try to give fans the exact experience of seeing the original artists, maybe with a slight twist. In the case of Dread Zeppelin, a Led Zeppelin cover band, that's not exactly the case. They want to give you something unlike anything you've seen, while giving you the songs you love. Have they ever done that. With a combination of rock, a reggae-style backbeat and Elvis impersonator lead singer Tortelvis, it is very easy to say that you haven't seen anything else like this. And as strange as the combination sounds, it really does work wonderfully.
