From Caltrops:
As the group Copper Dirigible, or something like that, tells us in their song "Escalator to the Afterlife," that She's Buying the Stairway to Heaven. The questions the song never answer are how much she's paying, and whether she's able to pay cash or she's getting a mortgage. Or is she simply the representative of the buyer, maybe it's some corporation that is buying it.
Also, who is she and why does she want to buy the Stairway to Heaven? Does she think she needs the exercise?
I actually saw the Stairway to Heaven, if you are playing the video game Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, and you go into the up staircase area before you have a certain key or coin, I forget, you can try climbing the staircase, but no matter how much you go up it keeps going up forever, turn around and you're still only 4 steps from the entrance door.
Oh, and speaking of a Led Zeppelin, the Mythbusters actually built one to see if it would work. With a lot of effort they found a supplier and ordered very thin lead sheeting, lead foil that's the same thickness as aluminum foil, then carefully glued it together into a lead balloon and filled it with helium to see if a lead balloon would actually float.
You know what? A lead balloon actually can fly.

That Jack snuck down the hill? (He snuck down the hill!)
He needed love
A love he couldn't get from Jill..."
