(ANI):
A
song
sung
by
famous
English
rock
band
Led
Zeppelin
is
reportedly
set
to
be
shortened,
as
Olympics
organisers
have
found
it
to
be
too
long.
According
to
Britain's
Daily
Telegraph,
the
song
from
Led
Zeppelin's
classic
track
'Whole
Lotta
Love'
is
to
be
cut
when
Leona
Lewis
sings
it
during
the
closing
ceremony.
And
bosses
of
the
sporting
event
have
claimed
that
it
is
too
long
to
be
performed
in
full
by
guitarist
Jimmy
Page
and
British
TV
talent
show
winner
Lewis
at
the
event
on
Sunday
(24Aug08),
reports
Contactmusic.
It
was
revealed
by
officials
in
London,
who
are
charged
with
organising
the
2012
Olympics
in
the
city,
that
Lewis
asked
for
the
words
of
the
third
verse
to
be
changed
from
"I'm
gonna
give
you
every
inch
of
my
love" to
"every
bit"
of
my
love
because
the
original
would
not
make
sense
for
a
female
singer.
But
news
that
the
notorious
second
verse
with
its
line
"Way,
way
down
inside
honey,
you
need
it" has
been
dropped
altogether
has
led
to
speculation
Olympic
Games
chiefs
in
China
felt
the
lyrics
were
too
risque
for
the
family-orientated
closing
ceremony.
