Songs With a Zeppelin Reference?


Pagesbow

Recommended Posts

I was watching a documentary on Paul McCartney and Wings the other night which reminded me that Jimmy Page is referenced in the song "Rock Show"

What's That Man Movin' Cross The Stage?
It Looks A Lot Like The One Used By Jimmy Page
Its Like A Relic From A Different Age

Which got me thinking about other songs which have a Zeppelin reference...

Randy Quaid - Desertshore (Feat. Mark Kozelek)

Play a song
A Zeppelin song
Lemon Song, Wanton Song
Immigrant Song

And this (Admittedly, rather crap) song by Jewel

If he was Russian he would be the Kremlin
If he was a rock star he would be Led Zeppelin
If he was a month he would be, oh say May or June
If he was underwear he would be Fruit of the Loom

Anyone think of any others?

Neil Young's "Downtown" from Mirror Ball....

Jimi's playin' in the back room

Led Zeppelin on stage

There's a mirror ball twirlin'

And a note from Page

Like a water-washed diamondIn a river of sin

Goin' down like a whirlpool

When you get sucked in

One of my favorite bands The KINKS had a song The Road from the the live album w/ the same name. " Jimi Hendrix,The Who,Led Zeppelin & Free They took the road so it's alright by me. Some are survivors,some are bebris"

How the West was Won and where it got Us - R.E.M., 1996

Don't forget Heartbreaker by Dionne Warwick and Good Times by Chic :whistling:

Perhaps the most obvious one that I somehow forgot all about...

They must have been able to read Jimmys mind to be able to predict what he would call a live cd, 7 years later

There was a song I found on the internet 10+years ago by some punk band (I believe) and it was called something like "My Baby's in Love with Robert Plant." Now, I can't find it anywhere and think maybe I was hallucinating. Please someone tell me I'm not crazy!

i just thought of another. the Wonderstuff had a song on their Hup album (released in '89) called good night though, which was about how the singer hated hearing stairway at parties, because it meant it was the end of of the night and the party had gone on too long

I looked, but nothing came up? maybe you were hallucinating like I was in thinking that Elvis Costello had wrote a song about Jimmy Page.

Definitely never heard of that one....
