This reminds me a little story told by the composer Gordon Goodwin. He dropped by the studio one day where they were recording the soundtrack of a big space movie. He, and only he, noted the similarities between the music that is being recorded and Stairway to Heaven. He pointed this out and producers said they would fix it later. “Fix it” turned out to be burying it, or trying to, under a bunch of special effects and explosions in a climactic space battle.

This did not, however, escape the notice of Mr. Zeppelin and a cheque was written in due course.
