Oh, wow. I ran into a cover of Eddie Cochran's "Something Else" by Led Zeppelin, from a live 1969 BBC thing. The music backing is pretty straight, about the way you'd expect them to sound covering it. Then, Robert Plant. Gads! While Plant almost quivers you can't help but wonder if he's just having a laugh. It's a really wimpy delivery. Hell, Sid Vicious sings it more convincingly, albeit with more attitude than is really necessary (it is Sid Vicious). I just added the Flamin' Groovies because it was done the same year as Led Zep's. Yee haw, contrast and compare your ass off.
