"led zeppelin when the levee breaks is the basis or this song... just thought I'd point that out to make myself feel superior..."

It does sound very similar, but did they do that on purpose as an homage, or is it just a coincidence?

@samwalton I agree with what Dressed2Depressed said 8 years ago: "When the Levee Breaks" serves as the inspiration for the rhythym of this song. A coincidence seems unlikely. But I think it's not an homage either. It sounds to me more as a middle ground: the Led Zeppelin song inspired Jourgensen, Barker, Scaccia, Rieflin and Balch to come up with that beat.
