Did Povarotti ever cover any Led Zeppelin tunes?

Or any other rock songs? I would love to hear what Whole Lotta Love sounded like in an operatic style. Maybe I'm onto something...

3. I would LOVE to hear some popular songs sang in operatic style...
Couldn't you just see Placido Domingo singing 'Love Shack,' or as you mentioned 'Helter Skelter'?

8. Okay. I'll play Monte Hall. I'll give you 500 dollars if you can produce
for me right now the copy of Povaratti's "The Lemon Song," OR you can pick what's behind the curtain, where the lovely Carol Merrill is standing.

12. I think it's cool that he performed with those artists. Still, it looks
like all he was doing was injecting bits of opera into popular songs. I would like to have seen him actually sing a popular son in an operatic style. In-a-gadda-da-vida would have been a blast...
