Go to 40 seconds in and see if this sounds familiar:
Led Zeppelin toured with this band in 1969 and then wrote Stairway a year later.

Yeah, they definitely stole the riff. Changed it a bit, but it's pretty similar. I don't think it's such an obvious lift though that they should have to give the guy a writing credit, though. It's not like the Ghostbuster's theme or Vanilla Ice.

I love hearing about song ripoffs, it's fun.
This one blew my mind when I first heard of it:
¡Hasta la vista, pelota!

Jimmy Page and Zeppelin were pretty notorious for stealing riffs I believe. Lots of their early more bluesy stuff came from elsewhere.
