If you ever need proof that the Internet can be educational, expand our horizons, and make us more culturally aware global citizens, this video from Dutch artist Jeroen Offerman should do the trick.
Offerman, a visual artist living in a town called Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, learned to sing "Stairway to Heaven" backward. Then he performed it that way on some church steps, recorded it, and reversed the tape; the clip first appeared in an issue of Wholphin, a McSweeneys-produced DVD. This fan saw it, and passed it along to WMFU, an independent radio station out of Jersey City, which apparently curates a long-standing collection of different "Stairway"s, because, well, why do you need a reason to do that? This is America.
It might be getting pretty cold around here, but that shouldn't deter you from having a good time.
