Tenacious D did the same thing in "Tribute".
Then years later revealed that the song "Tribute" is about was "Beelzeboss" from their movie. Beelzeboss was quite a good song but they could never have met the expectations they made for themselves in Tribute.
For some reason I thought they were singing about Stairway to Heaven.
Yeah I think Stairway was a big part of the original inspiration and then they retconned it to be about Beelzeboss for the sake of the movie
I think I did hear a version where they insert the opening breakdown of Stairway, IIRC after the "grass doth grow" line.
