Zeppelin freaks.. I need your help ID'ing a song

[tridim]

Just heard a clip on VH1 and I've spent the last hour going through Amazon listening to tracks and trying to find it. Nothing.

The only way I can describe it.. It starts with a slide guitar riff and has this rhythm.. "zaaaa na na na naaaa (beat) za naaa na na naaa naaa naaa naaa.. zaaa na na na naaaa (beat)"

It's a popular song, so I'm really surprised I didn't find it on Amazon.

First one to figure it out gets a cookie!

[FizzFuzz]

1. I Can't Quit You Babe

bet ya that's it!

Do I get a prize if I'm right? Send Chocolate

[tridim]

5. Nope

Thanks for trying though.

2. Dancing Days

from Houses of the Holy

[usregimechange]

3. Good call!

[tridim]

4. Funny, that song fits the rhythm perfectly, but that's not it.

It's a slide steel guitar at the beginning, not just an acoustic.

[cam75219]

7. O.K. Nobody's Fault but Mine

from Presence

[tridim]

18. Nope

Thanks

That's a really cool song though.

[Hissyspit]

10. Gallows Pole?

[tridim]

14. Nope

[Hissyspit]

6. Dancing Days is the one the title of which is hard to connect to the song

[-..__...]

8. "Immigrant Song".

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

[tridim]

15. Nope

[Algorem]

9. "Love Will Keep Us Together"?

[tridim]

21. Isn't that Captain and Tieniele?

[Hissyspit]

23. You mean Tennille. John Tenniel drew illustrations for Alice In Wonderland

[Algorem]

41. could've sworn they did a cover version

[Algorem]

42. "Working Man"?

[KitchenWitch]

11. Kashmir

[RagingInMiami]

12. The immigrant song?

[Hissyspit]

13. This if funny because I had a Zep song in my head when I came across this

thread. (Yes, I know that rhymes)

It's the one where he sings "Baby Baby Do Ya Like It?" and ends with him repeating "I really don't know (echo), I really don't know (echo)"

Which one is that?

[cam75219]

17. Sounds Like Misty Mountain Hop

from LZ 4

[Hissyspit]

20. Yeah, I think that's it.

[tridim]

24. Nope.. That song starts with an organ/guitar.

Slide steel is what I'm looking for.

[cry baby]

16. Is it the one that has the sliding guitar and Robert Plant singing

the same melody at the beginning?

[tridim]

19. No vocals, just slide guitar

It's real high pitched sliding. "za(slide here)aa na na na naaaa"

[Hissyspit]

22. I'm beginning to think it's something from Physical Graffiti... n/t

[Hissyspit]

25. Now I'm thinking D'Yer Maker or Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

[-..__...]

30. I was also thinking of D'yer Maker...

then the original poster mentioned that there were no lyrics.

Ohh oh oh oh ohh ohh
You don't have to go-oh oh oh ohh ohh,
You don't have to go-oh oh oh ahh ahh,
You don't have to go__.

Ayy ay ay ay ay ayy
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ayy,
All those tears I cry oh oh ahh ayy,
Baby please don't go__.

When I read the letter that you wrote me
It made me mad, mad, mad.
When I read the words that it told me
It made me sad, sad, sad.
But I still love you so,
I can't let you go,
I love you
Ooh baby I love you-eah.


Teenage Musician?

[tridim]

34. I think it has lyrics, just not at the beginning

The clip I heard was just the slide guitar intro.

[jdj]

50. I don't know what it is, all I know is after reading this thread

I just want to do bong hits.

[Hissyspit]

53. Wow......................

man.

Zeppelin Rules.


Abba Sucks.

[cry baby]

26. How about Bron-Yur-Aurn-Stomp?

[cry baby]

28. Darn you Hissyspit...I wanted that cookie

[tridim]

35. Sorry, not it

It's a more typical sounding Zep song.

[Beware the Beast Man]

27. "Traveling Riverside Blues"?

[blue neen]

29. I know it's not the song you're looking for, but

I absolutely loooooooove "Tangerine."

Just thought I'd let ya know! :)

[Hissyspit]

31. That is a great song. n/t

[cry baby]

32. Its" In My Time of Dying"? Perhaps?

from physical graffiti

[doublethink]

45. Yea it has to be "In My Time of Dying " ......

Kinda of a slower song .....Zzzzzzaaa na na na na na Zzzzzzzzzza na na na na na (then J Bonaham kicks in with the drums) and Plant start singing, or moaning 'In my time so I can die easy ..... song slows down again .... slide guitar continues ..... yea thats it. Slide Guitar on this song big time. I think it's on The Swan Song album though. :) The song picks up intensity later on then slows down agian, I can picture the slide guitar......

[tridim]

33. Ok, let's try this..

The first 5 notes are very distinctive.. Picture it played on one guitar string, the high E..

Note Note Note Note Note
1------2------3------4------5------
slide> high high high high

The "high" notes are all the same note. The first note is a slide to that high note.

Edit: The 5 notes happen in about "one-mississippi"

[cry baby]

36. How are you going to know who is right?

Can you go to Windowsmedia or something?

[tridim]

37. I'm checking them on Amazon/Bear Share as suggestions come

[tridim]

48. I give up..

It's in my head, I just can get past the opening riff. Maybe it'll come in a dream.

Thanks for your help folks.

[Hissyspit]

49. I give up, too

[Hissyspit]

38. It's definitely an instrumental? n/t

[EC]

39. Achilles Last Stand....n/t

[-..__...]

40. Are you certain it's Led Zeppelin and not Page Plant?

After reading this thread (and guessing), the latter seems more likely.

[EC]

43. Okay, pulled out my albums and hummed the songs in my head

came up with a few to check, (was it more of a Delta Blues slide?)

Celebration day, Traveling Roadside Blues, In My Time of Dying, Dazed And Confused ,You Shook Me, The Girl I love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair

[tridim]

46. Very delta blues-ish

I'll check those.

[EC]

51. With Zep it may not have been an intro, it could have been in the

middle of the song, I have a feeling it was You Shook Me or Ramble On.

[Algorem]

44. "Cinnamon Girl"?

[EC]

52. That was Neil Young(CSNY).....n/t

[Algorem]

47. Maybe it's Dred Zeppelin

[TexasLady]

54. the mountain song?or the ocean song

night turns into day? you can sing to the mountains, but the mountains washed away...i suck at all this, but thought of these lyrics...

[tridim]

55. GOT IT! -- It's from 'What is and What Should Never Be'

At about 2:10 in the middle of the song.

The search was worth it, I listened to almost every Zep song to find it. There are lots of not-so-popular gems in their collection that freaking rock. 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' is one I've never paid much attention to, but it's a killer song.

Thanks for all your help!

[eyepaddle]

56. I'm in too late to help out, but

Nobidy's fault but mine IS my favorite Zep tune! :D
