I say “ some rendition” because honestly there were probably plenty of newbies that came into the store and could barely even pull it off. If you worked at a guitar store in the 70s or 80s, you probably couldn’t go a single day without a customer coming in and playing some rendition of “Stairway To Heaven” on a guitar. “No Stairway! Denied!” was basically one of many throwaway jokes in the film, but the sentiment resonated because, for many unfortunate guitar store staff members, it hit a little too close to home.

Interesting to note that the riff Myers plays in the movie doesn’t bear much resemblance to “Stairway” except for the phrasing, because they didn’t want to have to get the rights to the song. One of the first pop culture references to “No Stairway” comes from the 1992 sleeper hit Wayne’s World, starring comedians Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. “No Stairway!
