This song is fantastic musically speaking, but there's really nothing to say about the lyrics... and THAT'S why there are so few postings here. So I'll give it a try. The guitar on this track has an amazing tonal quality to it. On the one hand, it almost sounds 1950's, on the other hand it sounds cutting edge... it so unique. It sets the stage for Plant's lyrics; sort of an old-time, innocent, teenyboppers-in-the-icecream parlour scene. The girls are wearing hair bands, ankle-length skirts and white running shoes with bobby socks as they sip on their cherry sodas. The sound is almost surreal; maybe it's that ancient Les Paul that Jimmy has! As Paul McCartney once sang: "What's That Man Movin' Cross The Stage? It Looks A Lot Like The One Used By Jimmy Page. Its Like A Relic From A Different Age".
