Those guys in Led Zeppelin are a bunch of assholes.

I recently re-watched one of my favorite films of all time, a quaint little gem from the late seventies called Malibu Beach. It's the heartwarming story of a mischievous canine who likes to steal bikini tops from unsuspecting female sunbathers. Epic stuff.

Anyway, the flick had a pretty awesome theme song that I just couldn't get out of my head for a few days, so I tried to locate an audio recording of it somehow. I scoured the internet for the soundtrack, but it was to no avail. I checked the end credits of the movie to find out who did the song, but that info wasn't even there. At this point, the only way I could listen to the song was by playing the opening credits on the DVD. Just go ahead and check that out, and don't forget to give the song a good listen.

It was all well and good to be able to listen to the song through the speakers of my television set, but I really wanted to be able to rock out to it in my car and put it on my MySpace profile page. I mean, who wouldn't want to have the theme song to Mailbu Beach playing as your name, pictures, and personal information are being perused by fiftysomething men pretending to be sixteen year old girls?

So, I took the trouble of connecting my DVD player directly to my computer and making a recording of the song in real time, straight from the film. I then converted the file to mp3 so that I could put it on my MySpace profile. The next step was to sign up for a band profile, which would only serve to play host to the song. I ran into a bump in the road when I was required to enter the band name, as I still had no idea who had composed the tune. I just indicated that the name of the band was Led Zeppelin, because the guitar stylings in the song sound a great deal like those of Jimmy Page. I considered it a fairly educated guess. After I was finally all done with that process, I went ahead and added the track to my own profile.

Mission accomplished.

A few days later, I clicked on my profile just to hear the song, only to find out that it had been deleted by the artist. Apparently, the song wasn't actually performed by Led Zeppelin, and the band didn't quite appreciate there being a profile under their name with the theme song to Malibu Beach on it. Personally, I would have been flattered to be held responsible for bringing that song into the world. At any rate, the entire account had been deleted by a third party.

But that's not gonna stop me from having that tune on my profile, not by a long shot. I'll just put the song back up there and use a different band name this time.

I'm kinda' leaning toward Def Leppard.
