Zeplin Song

Sounds like someone playing part of the 'Stairway To Heaven' riff just before the last time Courtney screams "Shut up!"

I know exactly what this song means and its so hilarious. courtney love is like the last authentic rocker of our times- screw what anybody else says about her personal life or artistic ability....

i'll interpret it here for you guys:

"Will you accept a collect call From Robert Plant? We picked him up on Vine On a bus bench singing that song This is not the 1st time He was so cute Jonny Punk Rock, so cynical You woulda jumped him too!

[i think she's caustically joking about how there are cover band musicians out there that want to emulate Led Zeppelin and other rock bands but come out dirt poor (hence the collect call and a pick up at the bus stop) and sleazy. well first i imagine this musician is first in a ramone's cover band- hence johnny punk rock but then as time progresses and this guy is still in cover bands and hasn't made it, is then doing led zeppelin]

I got a job minimum wage & a tabledance He drinks my beer and plays guitar He's on my bed wasted every night when I come home Play the same 'ol lead again & again..

Sometimes I gotta ride Sometimes I gotta hide Sometimes I press rewind I gotta throw the trash out He's on a stairway to hell Yeah that is him Playin' the zeplin song again & again & again & again & again & again

In the two paragraphs above she's speaking from the dead-end musicians girlfriend's point of view she's basically lamenting on how much a loser this guy is because he's always wasted drinking her beer and playing the same fucken song again and again...and how she tries to avoid the musician's obnoxious behavior by playing tv, and hiding away from him, basically she's dependent upon him cause she's a stripper -hence "the minimum wage and table dance quote" Then she juxtaposes stairway to hell with stairway to heaven by led zep cause he's not going anywhere

"I'm a guitar Honest pop single cut away Please don't play that song on me again I'll explode I'll break all my strings, stop playing shit Like the Sex Pistols are anything

obviously this is from that beat up guitar's point of view, freaken hilarious!

"Why does he rain on my parade? Why does the song remain the same? I can't remember my own name I work for minimum wage Oh go sell it to Jimmy Page At the crosses the deal he made Cuz that song ain't goin' away Oh God the Zeplin song Nono the Zeplin song Here comes the Zeplin song Oh God the Zeplin song SHUT UP! "

So at the end, love is making a point that this guy is just a freaken sell-out or just doesn't have any creative input to the music scene. who just wants to party and not do anything creative, basically a sleaze instead of a bob dylan or kurt kobain. I don't know how i understand the song, i guess its cause i've browsed musician classifieds long enough to get the hunch there are guys in their forties doing gigs on songs that are totally overplayed...but love makes it so hilarious i literally laugh in my car when i play like all the time...

is this abotu stairway to heaven?

The real lyrics are: I'm a guitar A Les Paul Single Cut Away Please don't play that song on me again I'll explode I'll break all my strings and start playing shit Like the Sex Pistols or anything

I know,why is the lyrics wrong here? there was songwords in the freaking booklet thing with the album!!!! damn you!

Courtney Love rocks! I have no idea what this song is about but It's fun to rock out to!

oopss, i copied that paragraph that is totally wrong: its really I'm a guitar A Les Paul Single Cut Away Please don't play that song on me again I'll explode I'll break all my strings and start playing shit Like the Sex Pistols or anything

shit!

oh and when she says he's playing the same "ol lead again and again" it means a guitar solo or lick whatever

oh and another mistake: the whole song is told entirely by the girlfriend's point of view...shit! this is the last post i will post on this thread i am taking so much space...

Really funny song! I love it

In my opinon, I'm pretty sure this whole song is about Stairway To Heaven, how it's one of the most overplayed songs on a guitar and how you can get tired of hearing it all the time

I'm a guitar A Les Paul Single Cut Away Please don't play that song on me again I'll explode I'll break all my strings and start playing shit Like the Sex Pistols or anything

Of course the guitar's point of view, not liking how that's pretty much the only song played on it
