  1. I thought that Zeppelin, and The Monkees HAD to have some kind of a connection. In 1967, the Monkees wrote and recorded a song called 'Goin' Down', about a man who jumps from a bridge to kill himself and changes his mind after he's in the water. The lyric "Goin'Down" is repeated continuously. Well, I've wondered for a long time if Robert might have referenced the lyric from that song for: 'When The Levee Breaks', in 1971? The lyric doesn't appear in the pre Zeppelin version of 'Levee', so I've suspected this for a while, but I haven't been able to find a connection, until now. I had no idea that Zeppelin were Monkees fans, and after learning this, it seems much more likely to me that the lyric "Goin' Down" IS a reference to the song 'Goin' Down', by the Monkees. Can anyone confirm this? I've not been able to find the answer anywhere, and it's been driving me nuts!
