Immigrant Song, Thor meets Led Zeppelin

We’ve done a few deep dives this week, so I’ll try to make our Friday Song of the Day intro more simple. When I brought this song up at work, it was Atticus Ross’s version with Trent Reznor and Karen O that came to mind for Mitch. That amazing cover appeared in 2011 over the credits of the film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Over the previous decade, the Led Zeppelin original from 1970, highlighting Jack Black’s participation, was featured in the movie School of Rock in 2003, and in 2007 it was a battle cry in Shrek the Third.

So, this number has had some serious staying power in popular culture. It’s most recent reappearance was in 2017 with Thor, his “friend from work,” The Hulk, Loki, and a cast of . . . is it thousands or hundreds? I don’t remember, let’s watch the scene. Happy Friday. Remember, as the students at the library like to tell me, “You slay.”
