What have they done with that great song?! Criminal!
I've seen the film, but didn't care for the cover song. An original song? No problem, but classics like this shouldn't be touched!
Haven't seen Thor Ragnarok. Did they use the original recording?
You should. Norway is featured.
That's the magic of classic songs! Still works today! :)
I'll give whoever did the cover the credit of making the effort of trying. Even getting close to the range of Plant should be praised.
Heavily? Haven't seen any newspapers mentioning it. Usually get enough coverage when it does!
Where in Norway did the scene take place?
It's time for another song that oozes class (something that has been lacking in the films for the last 30 years).

"The Modfather eyes up 007
Paul Weller has revealed that he and Noel Gallagher have written ‘half’ of a potential James Bond theme song.
This week sees the release of Weller’s acclaimed 13th album, ‘A Kind Revolution‘. Now, the Modfather has revealed his ambitions to write a track for a future 007 movie, and that he’s been working on one with the former Oasis guitarist.
“I want to write a James Bond theme tune,” Weller told the BBC. “I’ve got this half a song that me and Noel Gallagher worked on and I think it would be great for a Bond theme. There’s a bit of minor key going on. That would be an ambition definitely.”

If he's working out a tune with Gallagher, he also pushes the "contemporary artist" buttons.
Certainly couldn't be any worse than Sam Smith, in fact it could only be better. I like PW, but not when he's doing his great white soul singer thing, if it's going to be a out-and-out rock tune then count me in!
Just some western coastline.
I see. Think I saw a generic western coastline in a different superhero film too, but I may be mistaken.
You know when this came out I thought, if David Arnold got to put his stamp on this tune it would have totally have fitted in to the Bond catalogue
Ballad of the Mighty I Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Followed you down to the end of the world
To wait outside your window
In the heat of the rain I would call your name
But you just passed me by
If you put me up like a fly on the wall
Then you'll be to blame when the heavens fall
Give me a sign if you hear me call
But you just pass me by
The colours around me are fading away
And I'll be waiting, come what may
I'll find you (I'll find you)
Yes I'll find you (Yes I'll find you)
If I've got to be the man who walks the earth alone
[Verse 2]
I followed the stars and I sailed to the sun
I held it in my fingers
Alone on the beach, on my own out of reach
When you just passed me by
I'd give you the world if you'd take my hand
But you left me alone in the sinking sand
Strike up the band for one last stand
But you just passed me by
Show me the rules of the games you play
And I'll be here waiting, come what may
I'll find you (I'll find you)
Yes I'll find you (Yes I'll find you)
If I got to be the man who walks the earth
I'll find you (I'll find you)
Yes I'll find you (Yes I'll find you)
If I've got to be the man who walks the earth alone
"And he strikes like…SHATTERHAND!"
After seeing her performance at the Oscars, I think she could deliver something Bassey/TinaTurner-esque, which is IMO exactly what's needed after that Sam Smith borefest.
