FireOpal Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I heard a song by Robyn Hitchcock the other day called 1974. One of the last lines goes something like, "Digging Led Zeppelin in Grimsby ... oh Christ." I guess Robyn's not a fan -- don't tell Jonesy, his sometime collaborator!

dpat Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This one was by Gary Moore ("After the War" album), referring to all the bands in the 1980s ripping off Zep, called "Led Clones." It featured Ozzy Osbourne on lead vocal. LED CLONES The time has come to talk about tomorrow. You should be more careful what you borrow. I heard them on the radio. I saw them on the video. I don't think I can take much more. Led clones Led clones You've stolen from the houses of the holy. You've rolled into the kingdom* of the sane. I heard you on the radio. I saw those crummy videos. I don't think I can take no more. Led clones Led clones. Got to get it on, From the still of the night**. But you're gettin' it wrong, You know it ain't right. Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah. I saw them on the radio. I heard them on the videos. I don't think I can take much more. Led clones. Led clones. Led clones. Led clones. * Obvious reference to the band Kingdom Come ** A dig at Whitesnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangani Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 ""If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page........the girlie's I like are underage!" Beastie Boys..The New Style. (This is the song with The Ocean riff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ahh, can't forget Bongwater's "Too Much Sleep" where Ann Magnuson says "I just wish someone would give me a pill and I could play like Jimmy Page." Don't we all, Ann, don't we all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIC Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 "A.M. Radio" by Everclear ...I remember 1977 / I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin / I gotta guitar Christmas Day / I prayed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play, teach me to play....

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ""If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page........the girlie's I like are underage!" Beastie Boys..The New Style. (This is the song with The Ocean riff). That's kind of funny. And then there is "Thou Shalt Always Kill" by Dan Le Sac with the lyrics -- "Led Zeppelin...just a band." (I did notice that he gave them second billing, right behind The Beatles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 While looking at groovy homemade videos of Boleskine House on YouTube, I came across a song by Mindless Self-Indulgence called "I Hate Jimmy Page". I'd link to it, but the song is crap and the band look like faux-punks who got their look from a Halloween party store. Anyway! Most of these songs seem to focus on Jimmy, possibly because his last name is such an easy rhyme. I can't think of any songs that mention Messrs. Plant, Bonham or Jonesy.

GetTheLedOut Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Similar to the Mindless Self Indulgence song, Screeching Weasel did a song called "I Hate Led Zeppelin" which I've always found to be quite funny (although I'm sure I'm in the minority). The Who including Zeppelin in a song off their 2006 comeback album: Mirror Door "A thousand angels, a million children Fire and fear in a suicide eye Golden stairway to a Zeppelin heaven Rolling thunder under New York sky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
