Hammer of the Gods vs. Twilight of the Gods!



I found this amusing; Amazon Canada is pushing a DVD of part of Wagner's
Ring Cycle on me with the following rationale:

"Dear Amazon.ca Customer,

"We've noticed that customers who have expressed interest in Led Zeppelin:
DVD have also ordered Ring Des Nibelungen on DVD.  For this reason, you
might like to know that Ring Des Nibelungen will be released on November 21,
2006 on DVD."

It actually makes quite a bit more sense than their last attempt, when they
figured because I'd ordered the Elvis '68 Comeback Special that I would be
interested in some erotic thriller called "Secret Sins." Couldn't really see
the connection there.

But Wagner and Zeppelin: yep, they have bombast in common.

So.... What Zep song would you choose to replace "Ride of the Valkyries" in
the bombing sequence from "Apocalypse Now"? :-)
