Hot Dog Lyrics


Hot Dog Song Chart
  • This was influenced by American rockabilly music, which Robert Plant enjoyed. A hot dog is distinctly American cuisine.
  • Led Zeppelin had some heavy songs, but this was a fun, rollicking tune at a tough time for the band. Plant's 5-year-old son, Karac, died in 1977 and they were all worn out from constant touring and recording.
  • The lyrics about a girl in Texas who "Took my heart" may have been based on a real woman in Plant's life, but he called this a tribute to Texas and the state of mind of the people in Texas.
  • A promotional video was shot. This was the closest Led Zeppelin came to a music video.
  • Led Zeppelin played this live throughout their 1979 and 1980 tours, placed rather awkwardly between "Ten Years Gone" and "The Rain Song." (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)
  • On a particularly cold day at a turn of the 20th century New York baseball game, no one was buying concessionaire Harry Stevens' ice cream, so he begun selling sausages and rolls. He started calling out, "Red hot dachshund sausages!" and found they were very popular. Thomas "Tad" Dorgan, a sports cartoonist for The New York Journal, was in the press box and seeing this he attempted to draw a cartoon of a barking sausage steaming in its stretched out roll. He didn't know how to spell "Dachshund," so he wrote "hot dog" instead, a name which immediately caught on. (from the book Food for Thought: Extraordinary Little Chronicles of the World by Ed Pearce)

    Album: In Through The Out Door
    Released: 1979

    I'm Gonna Crawl Lyrics


    I'm Gonna Crawl Song Chart
  • This was the last song on the last album before drummer John Bonham's death. Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones wrote most of it. The song is likely a tribute to Robert Plant's son, Karac, who had died of a viral stomach infection at the age of five in 1977. This was also why their '77 tour was cut short.
  • Soul singer Wilson Pickett's music was the inspiration for this.
  • This is the final track from Led Zeppelin's eighth album In Through the Out Door, so named because after taking a voluntary exile from Great Britain for two years (for financial reasons), they found that getting back into the spotlight in England proved to more difficult than they thought.
  • This was the last song on the last album that drummer John Bonham played on before his death in 1980.

    Led Zeppelin - South Bound Saurez Lyrics and Youtube Music Videos

    Album: In Through The Out Door
    Released: 1979

    South Bound Saurez Lyrics


    South Bound Saurez Song Chart
  • The title is spelled wrong. It was supposed to be "Suarez," Spanish for party.
  • John Paul Jones did much of the work writing this. It is centered around his piano.
  • Jimmy Page made a few minor guitar mistakes, but he left them in. He always preferred a spontaneous feel over a perfect take.
  • One of the few Zeppelin songs Jimmy Page had no part in writing. It is credited to Jones and Robert Plant. At the time, Page and drummer John Bonham were spending a lot of time together and were rarely at the studio when Plant and Jones started working on songs for In Through The Out Door. Bonham died in 1980 after a drinking binge at Page's house.

    Fool In The Rain Lyrics


    Fool In The Rain Song Chart
  • This song is about a guy who is supposed to meet a woman on a certain corner. When the woman doesn't show up, he thinks he's been stood up. It turns out he was just standing on the WRONG corner, and is now a "fool in the rain." (thanks, Joe - Long Island, NY)
  • Jimmy Page got the idea for the Samba beat from watching the World Cup soccer tournament in 1978. Argentina was the host country, and he heard a lot of Samba rhythms while watching.
  • This was the last Led Zeppelin song to chart in the US. The group didn't release many singles, but they pegged this one for popular appeal. Zeppelin retired with six Top 40 hits in America.
  • This song was never performed live because the group didn't think the sound came off well. The piano was quite necessary in the song, but with John Paul Jones on piano there could be no bass, and the bass is very important in this one. There is also a twelve-string line at one point in the song and the guitar solo that has to be pulled off. The middle section was another issue.
  • Jimmy Page used regular distortion on this song, as well as an obscure effect called a called a blue box, which is a fuzz/octave pedal. This fuzzes (or distorts) the guitar, then drops it down two whole octaves. James Taylor's bassist has used this effect. (thanks, John - Boca Raton, FL, for above 2)
  • Mexican rockers Mana recorded this for the Spanish language market edition of the Tribute album Encomium. It's the only officially-released Led Zeppelin cover song in Spanish (thanks, Sergio - San Diego, CA).
