"Jer-Maker", a play on the British pronunciation of Jamaica (notice the reggae beat). Also a play on their pronunciation of "D'ya make her" (did you make her), which means "did you get to first base"...
Always LOVED this song!!!! The reggae style is perfect!!! My favorite story in making this song is a dude asked his pal If he made his wife do something or other for him & he says it in a rough British accent, like “didjah make err?” I’m probably a bit off on that, but it’s an amusing story….of course we all butchered the way to say the song at the jump, so you say it like “Jamaica” with the R at the end….”Jamaic’r” 🤘🏽🤣🤘🏽
I love this song so much. It SOUNDS like reggae but what I really hear underneath it is Led Zeppelin rocking slow but really hard. And it's just so fun to dance to. At parties, at clubs, in your living room. Southbound Suarez from the Same album is heavily piano driven and it almost seems like Robert is channeling a bit of early Elvis Presley at points. I love it so much. It seems impossible not to move to it.
This is actually from Houses of the Holy 1973, South bound Saurez is from 'In Through the Out Door', their final album in 79, but the two songs have something in common for sure.
- As you liked that, check out 'Dread Zeppelin' (early stuff): "Led Zeppelin covers, inna reggae style, w/ an Elvis Impersonator singer"! - Sounds crazy, I know - but they do some great interpretations! - Could make for an "amusing" reaction...
Of course this is original it's led zeppelin..... They aren't copycats like all the modern day. Bounds. Are these were the creators the makers of music real music.. Why would you think any different?
Pronounced dee yer, never into Zeppelin, only ever bought one album Houses of the Holy and it was for this song, Ended up liking No Quarter also, great reaction,
