Default Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth rock out to some Zeppelin

This video brought a smile to my face this morning, what a great editing job.

There was a lot of controversy regarding plagiarism over early Zep songs.

This proves conclusively that their songs were around long before they got together

Great fun, and oooh - those tailored shorts ...enough to bring back the old trouble!
liked Ozzy's assertion too.
More more!

Cool, but they both would be rolling over in their graves if they knew they’d be seen dancing to that rock n’ roll devil music.

Nah, I don't think so. There's some pretty hot steppin' going on there.

That put a smile on my face!

I'm reminded that everyone always said what a great dancer Fred Astaire was, but Rita (and Ginger Rogers) were doing the same steps dancing backwards in high heels...

That was the snark, but if you look it isn't true.

This vid goes to show that you can put two great things together and come up with garbage. Sorry but this one just doesn't do it for me. Besides, the choreography is WAY off.

Well, it's true that I pay a lot more attention to Rita and Ginger's legs than I do to Fred's...

Fun...and a bit weird! Just not really getting the connection or contrast there, kind of random, but ok.

Rita Hayworth is before my time, but wow, she was really cute.

I have enjoyed watching on YouTube many videos like this of Fred, Rita, Ginger, et al, and I must say, the girls are all great dancers and very pretty. But my goodness, Rita just gets my blood going! Whew!
