Just those two basslines, a fun rockabilly song from their most under-rated album.
Have fun!

| I hate to "bust your bubble" Joseph, but it could easily have been JPJ. I wouldn't use the term "respectable" for any of the Zeppelin band members. I was aware of this story but I always thought it was Bonham. (A google search would seem to suggest otherwise.) It is interesting how the perception of Zeppelin has changed over the years while their music becomes as popular as ever (possibly more so). These guys were "party animals" in the truest sense and they consumed large quantities of drugs. They were known as a "drug band" and that is probably why they never received a Grammy. They were not really well received in the "status quo" media of the time but could hardly be ignored due to their incredible popularity...their shows and albums outsold everyone, including the Beatles. My memories are that pretty much everyone I knew (my age) smoked marijuana and most did harder drugs. I remember going to a Led Zeppelin concert with my hippie friends. They (Not me of course) would roll a huge joint (about eight inches long and one inch thick) and one of the girls would "smuggle" it into the "Omni" here in Atlanta. "They" would light it up and pass it on, never to be seen again. No worry, a few minutes later another one would be passed through. Trust me, at the time (1977) it was ALL about drugs and sex. It wasn't as if all the members EXCEPT JPJ were involved...that is a ludicrous idea. Led Zeppelin CELEBRATED the drug culture of the '70's. As a Christian, I am conflicted about this band. Were they "devil worshipers?" Page said, "I don't worship the devil." But they released their fourth album on the birthday of Aleister Crowley in 1971 and Page bought his house, etc., etc. The drugs eventually took their toll on Led Zeppelin just like all the other '70's rock groups. JPJ is not excluded by any means. Somehow though he has gotten a reputation of being the one who "escaped." But, no doubt, he was definitely in the thick of it during the Zeppelin years. | |

| In response to the song and lyrics, its not impossible that this happened to JPJ. So what if hes a respectable person, it could have happened to anybody. And if they were drinking or on any other drugs, it would have been quite easy. And in response to Adman, their fourth album was not released on Aleister Crowley's birthday, it was released on November 8th, and Aleister Crowley was born on October 12th. I suggest not throwing people off with your Christian bias opinions and research a little bit before saying something like that. | |

| this is a pretty funny song about a Zeppelin band member hooking up with a drag queen and not knowing it before it was too late. the "Royal Orleans" was either a gay club or a hotel near a gay club where the band would go when they were in the area. apparently there they didn`t get bothered as much for autographs. | |
