I can't point you to a sound file, but I can give you the opening lyrics, to see if that helps...

There's a lady who knows,
All that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway
To Heaven.

Ugh. I can't remember any more than that off hand, and I'm not even sure about what I have there. (I THINK the reversal of the "all that glitters is not gold" saying is in there and intentional.) Maybe I should stop trying to quote songs I haven't heard in years...
