  • The John Entwhistle/Keith Moon joke supergroup explanation is reputedly the correct one, but it was Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant who took out the "a" to avoid promoters mispronouncing the name as "leed". Submitted by: Mark T

Comments & Submitter Name
"Robert Plant""As much as I love Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant's true uncompromising heart and emotions never shined through the wall of loud drums and guitars as much as they ended up doing when Zep broke up and Plant went solo. There's a strange and beautiful "mysticism" present in Plant's solo music that seems absent in the tunes of Zep. (Although I will admit that Zep's music had a mysticism all it's own! Just in a "rock band" sense...) Listening to Robert Plant is like listening to Zep with any last air of youthful foolishness and pretentiousness stripped away. The term "an artist who has matured" seems to be misused on those who have gone the way of selling out to pop culture and writing sappy ballads, but Robert Plant stands as one of the only artists to whom the aforementioned phrase actually rings true." - Kirk Bradford Myers

Funny Lyrics:

The Funny Lyrics:
T'was in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair
but gollum, and the evil wargs
crept up and slipped away with her.
Why They're Funny:
Is there any need for an explanation as to why they're funny! just so random!
Submitted by: Paul Ellis
"Whole Lotta Love"
The Funny Lyrics:
I wanna be your back door man
Why They're Funny:
I don't know that this lyric is funny, but I think that it could have another meaning aside from he wants to do her up the butt. Maybe he wants to be her secret lover and slip out the back door. She might have a boyfriend or he has a girlfriend and he just wants to come by and have fun with no commitments then leave her place unseen.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Black Dog"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I don't know but I been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.
Why They're Nonsensical:
That just sounds silly. How can the size of a woman's legs tell if she has a soul or not? If I were Robert Plant, I'd get a second opinion.

"Stairway To Heaven"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,

It's just a spring-clean for the May Queen
Why They're Nonsensical:
These are all derived from Celtic mythology. Jimmy Page is very big into that sort of thing and used it in the band's music a lot.

Insulting Lyrics:

"Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's Just a Woman)"
The Insulting Lyrics:
With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Alimony, alimony payin' your bills, Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. With the butler and the maid and the servants three. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. Nobody hears a single word you say. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman. But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day. Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Why They're Insulting:
This song is obviously a diss to women who marry and divorce men for their money (Alimony, alimony payin' your bills

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"The Lemon Song"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
'Squeeze me baby till the juice runs down my leg, the way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed'
Why They're Inappropriate:
Now I know Led Zeppelin is a very sexual band and it always does sound as if Plant is singing about sex, he makes you think about sex, or he makes you want his sex....but I got a visual for these lyrics and it ain't pretty.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Custard Pie"
The Dirty Lyrics:
When you cut it mama, mama please save me a slice.
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice.
Chewin' a piece of your custard pie.
Why They're Dirty:
The song contains somewhat difficult-to-comprehend lyrics, but, like several other songs on the album, they are full of sexual innuendo. In this case, "Custard Pie" refers to a woman's sexual organs and the song is rife with references to oral sex.

Scary Song Lyrics:

"No Quarter"
The Lyrics:
Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
They choose the path where no-one goes.
Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling more
Why:
The 1st one is freaky, close the door put out the light, and they won't be home tonight. The winds of Thor? The snow falls hard? Chose the path where no one goes? What? Anything with the devil and walking side by side with death, freaky. Dogs of Doom? Howling?
