I just came across this in the trusty Daily Star... :angry:

Bad lyrics in music? That list could go on and on and on ...

Hey, at least they did not also mention:

"Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh. You don't have to go, oh oh, oh oh. You don't have to go."

And, what about America's "Ventura Highway," with its ... "alligator lizards in the sky"?

Hi moffo,

Nice post, but i wish the people who did the research for this item would do a more thorough job rather than leaving it to us Amatures, or was it just another cheap attach on Led Zeppelin?

Robert Plant didnt write the lyrics, he coppied them from Rober Johnsons song,

"Traveling Riverside Blues"

If your man get personal, want you to have your fun

If your man get personal, want you to have your fun

Just come on back to Friars Point, mama, and barrelhouse all night long

I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee

I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee

But my Friars Point rider, now, hops all over me

I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth crowned with gold

I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold

She got a mortgage on my body, now, and a lien on my soul

Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side

Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side

We can still barrelhouse baby, on the riverside

Now you can squeeze my lemon 'til the juice run down my...

(spoken) 'til the juice rune down my leg, baby, you know what I'm talkin' about

You can squeeze my lemon 'til the juice run down my leg

(spoken) That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, now

But I'm goin' back to Friars Point, if I be rockin'to my head

Asked sweet mama, let me be her kid

She said, you might get hurt if you don't keep it hid

Well I know my baby, if I see her in the dark

I said I know my rider, if I see her in the dark

Now, I goin to rosedale, take my rider by my side

Still barrelhouse, if it's on the riverside, yeah

I know my baby, lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk

I know my mama, lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum

See my baby, tell her, tell her hurry home

Had no lovin, since my baby been gone

See my baby, tell hurry on home

I ain't had, lord, my right mind, since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises, she's my rider

I wanna tell you, she's my rider

I know you're mine, she's my rider

She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider

I'm goin to rosedale, take my rider by side

Anybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfied

Well, see my baby, tell her, tell her the shape I'm in

Ain't had no lovin, lord, since you know when

Spoken: why don't you come into my kitchen

Shes a kindhearted lady. she studies evil all the time

Shes a kindhearted woman. she studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg

Squeeze it so hard, Ill fall right out of bed

Squeeze my lemon, til the juice runs down my leg

Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin about

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl

I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed

She's a good rider

She's my kindhearted lady

I'm gonna take my rider by my side

I said her front teeth are lined with gold

She's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul

She's my brownskin sugar plum

Spoken: why don't you come into my kitchen ? :)

Maybe I've listen to to too many songs turned up to 11 in my day, But I always thought it was "how's it coming out there Jimmy?", which would seem appropriate since it is in the middle of the guitar solo.

But I could be hard of hearing though!

I can a kick out of articles like these that seem as if they were written by a 13-year-old.

The only things this article reveals is that:

1) the person who wrote it knows NOTHING about Zeppelin (or the fact they "borrowed" a lot of their "stupid lyrics" from the blues ;) )

2) they clearly haven't heard songs like Kashmir, That's The Way, Ten Years Gone, In The Evening, In The Light, Stairway To Heaven, Carouselambra, Thankyou, Achilles Last Stand, Going To California...to name a few...nothing stupid about them lyrics.

Good list. I know you only got started, but must mention Rain Song.

The point missing is that "squeeze my lemon" is such a sexual lyric. I always thought the best two pick up lines were "Squeeze my lemon til the juice runs down my leg" and "Hey Hey Momma like the way you move gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove."!

Anyone who states that LZ lyrics were stupid must not know poetry. Idiot writer and not even worth my time to argue. I remember when Rolling Stones magazine and the media said they-LZ were overrated. Zepplin's response : release of IV in 1971 was untitled and no band name on the cover and this album went on to be the most popular rock album with the most requested song of all time, Stairway To Heaven...

Led Zeppelin were TRUE pop stars.The best POP stars I've ever seen.

This deserves playing The Lemon Song over and over again.

Also,I've noticed that Pink Floyd's,Beatles' adn Queen's lyrics were listed too as the most stupid.

Do Not Touch Bohemian Rhapsody. :mad:

I'm so pissed.
