The lyrics were based on Robert Johnson's 1936 "Terraplane Blues." A Terraplane is a classic car, and the song uses car parts as metaphors for sex: "pump your gas," "rev all night," etc.

[@willyroussel3563]

Terraplane Blues. Robert Johnson but only the way Zeppelin can amp it up to 11

[@vernhoke7730]

This takes me back to my high school days. 1975 was a banner year for rock music. In fact from '74-'76 some outstanding records hit the shelves.

[@marybaillie8907]

From their 1975 album, " Physical Graffiti", great tune driven by the fabulous semi funk riff, with John Paul Jones on the clavinet. Admittedly they say this song was inspired by Stevie's Superstition, with a powerful staccato beat. Page played through a wah wah pedal employing a reverse echo on the recording. The wonderful driven riff and melody, with great vocals made this a fan favourite at concerts. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

This song is a 5-alarm fire, way to go, Mr. Drummin! Even without the racy lyrics, it's an instrumental romp!

That it is. 👍Thank you Sir Cosmo!! ✌

There is a 9-minute live version from Earl's Court in 1975 that I think is even better. It's played at a faster tempo.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Amazing version!!

[@Cynthia...]

What an excellent song this is. I am loving Led more each time I hear them. Thanks Ima and Harri.

[@Imadrummin]

Yes, Led had many groovin songs and this being one of my favs. Glad you enjoyed it Cynthia. 👍

[@jackgilchrist]

Just FYI, you can call them: "Led Zeppelin," "Zeppelin," "Led Zep," or, according to some scholars, "Zep." But never, EVER just "Led" except in the phrase "get the Led out." Those are the rules, but I'll let you off with a warning this time. 😉 Cordially, The Led Zeppelin Police. 😎

[@pncombies]

Naughty? Just Keep Zeppelin being Led Zeppelin! Imadrummin pulling no punches with this classic banger! Great reaction, Harri -- thanks, gentleman!

[@Imadrummin]

Zep spicin it up on this one. For me, Physical Graffiti was an exceptional album. I wore it out. You are welcome brother. ✌👍🤟

[@dbdeg88]

It does probably have the highest sexual innuendo per lyric ratio of any Led Zeppelin song, if you want to get mathematical about it. Like literally every single line. Every. Single. Line. Of this entire song is some automotive-themed double entendre.

[@dbdeg88]

And I agree. "Physical Graffiti" is a superb album, and quite possibly my favorite of theirs.

[@ericanderson8886]

Lol it's naughty but always thought "The Lemon Song" was their naughtiest one. Anyway a great driving song.

One of my all time favorite songs of all time and by Led Zeppelin. 🔥

[@Imadrummin]

Glad you had the lyrics in front of you Harri. To me, Robert Plant was singing kinda like..... James Brown on this funky song. Maybe that is why I was so drawn to this song because I do hear the Superstition style clavinet from John Paul Jones. Great reaction Harri. Thank you.👋👋👋

[@agnetesorensenelbom5085]

[@jamesscura7122]

You're right. The song came out of an all night jam with Stevie Wonder.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Oh my gosh! Are you serious?? Thats incredible!! It reminded me of Stevie so much! Makes sense now

[@jamesscura7122]

@@HarriBestReactions Of course they played Superstition, but all types of music, all night. A incredible party jam. John Paul Jones was so impressed he immediately created this riff and you know the rest. Takes the duality of the words between a woman and a car. Paying homage to Chuck Berry for doing it with Maybelline. And, Robert Johnson before them with Terraplane Blues. The Godfather of The Blues. Zeppelin were also big James Brown fans as are The Stones. Particularly, Jagger, as he and James were friends for decades. Whenever called the greatest, Jagger always redirects the interviewer to James Brown.

[@Imadrummin]

I didn't know about the all night jam but it does tie things together. Thanks for your insight James. 👍👍👍@@jamesscura7122

[@timwhitnell7145]

The Lemon Song is Zeppelin's naughtiest. Physical Graffiti is a masterpiece double album. My favourites from it are Kashmir and The Rover, which has possibly my all-time favourite opening guitar riff. I get chills every time I hear it even almost 50 years later! Jimmy Page is the king of memorable riffs.

[@dbdeg88]

"The Lemon Song" really only has one stanza that's particularly naughty. However, it is very, very naughty. "Custard Pie" and "Candy Store Rock" are pretty dirty, too. And then of course there's "Whole Lotta Love", particularly when they do it live and really make the most out of Robert's talent for...umm...suggestive vocalizations...(you know things are gonna start sounding like a very loud porno when Jimmy puts down his guitar and starts playing with the theremin).

[@boki1693]

@@dbdeg88 Lets not forget about Blackdog and watching his girls "Honey Drip." And if you remember Plant's group after Zeppelin he named The Honey Drippers. LOL.

[@dbdeg88]

@@boki1693 Lol, how could I forget "Black Dog". That seems to be one RP was particularly fond of grabbing/gesturing at his crotch during while performing live, lol (not complaining in the slightest, by the way).

[@jxchamb]

Naughty song but like most of their naughtiness songs, this is remake of an blues song. This is borrowed heavily from the Robert Johnson tune Terraplane Blues.

[@mcasualjacques]

it's a wonder this song didn't get much airplay that i can recall ... oh it's the lyrics, i see i see, so danceable too! and there too in the discos i didnt hear it played, it's a mystery, maybe people were hating on them for this album, by principle not because they played the tunes.

[@jmar7631]

Nice reaction, thanks. No "punk" here but plenty of "funk". Edit: Great live if you've got time to give that a watch!

fav zeppelin track

[@boki1693]

This is inspired by an old Robert Johnson song from the 30's called Terraplane Blues. Both songs they compare a woman's body to car parts. A Terraplane was a popular car in the 30's. The one you always saw the gangster's driving. But obviously they sound nothing a like. For racy lyrics, check out Custard Pie from the same album. He is singing about a woman's "custard."
