JRomero Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Dazed And Confused on How The West Was Won... Between 24:15 and 24:17 into the song, Robert says something that sounds like "Get down!" I'm just curious if anyone knows what he says. Kinda small and insignificant. Thanks! Quote
leding lady Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 It doesn't quite sound like "Get down" to me, but it's in that spirit! Sounds like 'big ale' or 'be gale' or something... I'm probably way off. The section preceding that is one of the (many) cool riffs/jams in the song, though, isn't it? I love it. Quote

I think it could just be Robert's pronunciation of "Get down!"... something like "Geh day-uwn!" And that jam section is really amazing! I love it when Bonzo starts hitting those 5 rapid beats on his snare. Another thing I have a question about... On some bootlegs I have of Led Zeppelin, Robert sometime says, "Thank you very much, top." I can't figure out if he's saying "top" or "Tom" or "ta". I believe I've also heard Paul McCartney say it a few times, so maybe it's a UK thing? Thanks! Quote

I think the "ta" is probably a UK thing like you said, maybe a shortened version of ta-ta, but that's just a guess. Always glad to be of help, lol. Quote

docron Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 "ta" is a shortened version of 'thanks' ..... [And all this time I thought it was short for "good-bye"]|[Go figure] Quote
JTM Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) [And all this time I thought it was short for "good-bye"]|[Go figure] Thats ta-ra (ta as in tap/ra as in sun god) or ta-ta. ( ta as in tap/ta as in tar) Edited October 9, 2008 by johnthomasmoby Quote
