LedZep forever Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 According to Jimmy: in through the out door-it's the hardest way back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Sometimes Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The CD should come with a tube of lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The first time i heard of this name i couldnt stop laughing. why is this album called this? I think it's sort of fitting. Zep never did things conventionally so going in through the out door would be their way to me is representative of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4urlife Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It was questionable after the 77 tour abruptly ended whether Led Zeppelin were going to carry on. So, for me anyway, I always took it as meaning they decided to come back "in through the out door" to give it another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMcLov1n Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Because punk was hot and Zep were not when this was released, so becoming popular again was like "going in through the out door." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Uh, ITTOD is a euphemism for anal sex. And Trampled Underfoot compares a car to a woman. And when Plant sings about squeezing his lemon, he's talking about his penis. Double entendres, folks. More of Zep being cheeky and sex obsessed.

Jahfin Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Though obviously not intentional I always thought it was a fitting title for their last ever proper studio album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Is this a good time to mention the issue of a lemon not being shaped like a penis, which always spoils the symbolism a bit, apart from the squeezability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanadu Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Is this a good time to mention the issue of a lemon not being shaped like a penis, which always spoils the symbolism a bit, apart from the squeezability? It is, but I always thought he was just singing about the fruits he used to stuff in his jeans back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro59 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 And when Plant sings about squeezing his lemon, he's talking about his penis. Really? Since he borrowed the words from Robert Johnson, who may have borrowed them himself, I guess it's fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel a little strange as I always hoped the band were singing directly to me on ITTOD. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky, yes, but also a bit ironic to compare a woman to a phallic symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cheeky, yes, but also a bit ironic to compare a woman to a phallic symbol. Also borrowed from Robert Johnson. But when you break the car down into its components, as they do, it becomes a not-phallic symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, this is getting too difficult with all the fruits, doors, and car components... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
