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.
