Yes, it can be done!

I have just seen two hours of burlesque dancing set to, and cover songs of, Led Zeppelin. Burlesque and stripping to Communication Breakdown (there were bees), Dazed and Confused (sex!), the Immigrant song (yes, with the screaming; also vikings)...so many. Plus an utterly incredible Mata Hari-eque number to Kashmir (& I am quickly becoming the biggest Lily Verlaine fangirl ever!*)
And the band? Best cover band of anything I have ever seen. They were amazing--the drummer was otherworldly, the bassist and guitarist were rocking like nothing else; they had three vocalists--a male & two females (tenor, alto & soprano, I think, though they were all pretty flexible).

My ears & eyes = totally blown away. I will do burlesque, if I get to do burlesque like this. Sure. I'll take my clothes off for Led Zeppelin.


(*Lily Verlaine is pretty much the most gorgeous and beautiful-moving lady up there--I want her hair and her ballet training both, please. Also I met her boyfriend tonight (fanastic double-breasted suit, colorful shirt, perfectly circular sunglasses. I mean--his style even had style.) Yowzers, but they make a hot couple. It's pretty much unfair all around.)
