The Lemon Song || Led Zeppelin

• No electronic devices were used to create the echo on Robert Plant’s vocal. It was made by the acoustics in the studio and by his voice.
• This contains a lot of sexual references (“squeeze my lemon”). Some people were offended, but Zeppelin’s fans didn’t have a problem with it.
• Led Zeppelin recorded this in Los Angeles when they were on their second tour of America.
• Plant often made up lyrics when he sang this live, usually making them even more sexually suggestive.
• You can hear drummer John Bonham’s gong at the beginning of this song. The Chinese gong added theatrical value to Bonham’s drum kit.
