Wife Reacts To Led Zeppeln The Lemon Song 

There something particularly beautiful about a young black woman wearing a Metallica shirt jamming to Led Zeppelin. I love RU-vid.

That John Paul Jones bass though!

The bass line absolutely rules over this song in my opinion. One of the best ever written. 🤘🏼

that bass the star of the show.

The bass work by John Paul Jones is amazing on this song!

This song was recorded in 1969 and it still sounds brilliant!

LOL!!! you can't imagine how many reviews of this song I have seen and NOBODY! has gotten that part of the lyrics! ( lemon, juice, leg, sex,etc. ), FINALLY! someone did, congratulations!. p.s. you're also very adorable! and have a pretty smile

"Traveling Riverside Blue" not just a Zep song but an experience...you wont be disappointed.

'squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg' is lifted from a Robert Johnson song, tis a homage of sorts :)

That funky BASS line baby !!!!! God bless JPJ!!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these lyrics but some Led zeppelin songs will have you mystified for life.

Can you survive a lyrical breakdown is the real question? ;) John Paul Jones baseline is crazy good on this.

Such a voice, such guitaring, such drumming and such bass playing. Such a band!

My wife is watching Roland Martin wearing a Samhain t-shirt, wondering who I'm watching on youtube... I just said, another beautiful woman with good taste in music... She said "ohh T & T? Say Hi!!!" Agreed with your take on the song... Innuendo makes the art! Cheers! Peace!

John bohnam is an incredible percussionist rip

This song is so kick ass on many levels. It’s funky, grooves, and has a moodiness to it that you can escape to and never come out

There is so much guitar goodness in this tune. A myriad of different techniques are demonstrated.

Straight Delta Blues right there. JPJ really killed the bass in the one. Love your smile listening to this.:)

T seems to have a real appreciation for JPJ's bass work. One of my favorites that I seldom hear anyone talk about is What is and What Should Never Be on the second album. I love that bassline. It's not fancy or anything, but damn it feels good.

WoW...I've been listening to that song for over 40 years and never made the connection to "squeezing him dry" financially. Very well done...You got a new subscriber just from that one observation!

thank howlin' wolf for this great song

Parking lot parties in high school 1971-'75. Great times.. :)

YES YES and YES to Lyric breakdown of Led Zeppelin songs >>> the poetry & prose is AWESOME : U guys will love the words of GOING TO CALIFORNIA and TEN YEARS GONE

“Robert Plant’s lyrics were shocking at the time” - RU-vid commenters talking about a song released in 1968. Meanwhile the lyrics about the lemon is an homage to Robert Johnson, who sang them in Traveling Riverside Blues, a song he recorded in 1937. Now that’s shocking for the time.

Best Bass Line in History. Best Reaction on RU-vid. Peace.

Robert Plant's lyrics were considered shocking at the time, but the song was so funky that it became wildly popular... even if they couldn't play it on the radio! lol Enjoyed your reaction video. :)

You guys should react to “ Whole Lotta Love “ and “ Dazed and Confused “ live at Madison Square Garden

Those lyrics came from a Willie Dixon song. Willie Dixon was a huge part of the 40's and 50's Chicago Blues scene. he wrote some of the most famous blues songs of all time. Led Zeppelin did a lot of his songs and then claimed they wrote them. Willie Dixon sued them and got paid big time before he passed.

I learned every guitar lick I know from this song 😉

Just the most awesome sound!

You are a doll. Led Zeppelin is my absolute favorite band. A little smoke really enhances your listening experience.

This came out when I was about 14; good thing our parents couldn't understand the lyrics, lol. These lyrics are mostly taken from old blues songs.

Guys remember all the bluesy stuff is a mixture of many blues songs lyrics morphed into Robert Plant’s style. This is taken from I wanna see Muddy Waters killing floor. Jimi Hendrix does a real good version of this as well if you can find that I think it’s on the BBC sessions his version is a little bit faster. But a lot of these lyrics plant is paying tribute to his blues heroes. The song how many more times is a more for five different blues lyrics songs all mixed into one. And then intertwined with his own lyrics. I recommend how many more times first listen to the album version which is on Led Zeppelin one last song. And then listen to the live version from the 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert. 20 minutes of pure musical genius.I highly recommend.

Does my heart good to see young people, especially young black people expanding their music horizons embracing the great music I had the privilege of growing up with, especially seeing great bands like this live. I was considered by some to be out there at the time, but fortunately had a great group of diverse friends in my life to open my vision and ears to all types of great music and artists.Keep it up :)

Notably "squeeze (my lemon) till the juice runs down my leg," can be traced to Robert Johnson's "Travelling Riverside Blues". It is likely that Johnson borrowed this himself, from a song recorded earlier in the same year (1937) called "She Squeezed My Lemon" (by Arthur McKay). The song also references Albert King's "Cross-Cut Saw". Thanks to Wikipedia all these facts can be passed on.

Love the lemon song, one of my favorite zep songs ,, great rifts on it by Mr page🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Make me laugh out loud! Thanks, that was fun!

Damn, that bass line! Funky or what!

This song is a cover of a Howlin' Wolf song called Killing Floor ( with some extra stuff added)

I never saw such humility and appreciation in another person`s reaction to music. The music only stands in even greater stead when observed with the degree of elegance that contemporary listeners like this bring to the vibe.

Always nice to welcome another zep fan into the fold..welcome & nice reaction.

Excellent reaction! Like how you interpret the lyrics.

Great reaction! This song is ooozing with groove. You should check out 'fool in the rain'

Led zeppelin-how many more times

I absolutely love when people discover Led Zeppelin. Their music is timeless. Proof there is a god.

This song is pure perfection!!!

I think you'll love "In My Time of Dying" also.

the bass is sick the drums are god like the guitar is god like, his vocals are distinct.its just amazing that these guys ended up together

Loving the Zeppelin

Back then if the lyrics were explicit, the record company wouldn't put it out and it would have been in all the papers. Or, it would have gone underground. Man, times have changed.

Super cool reaction. 👌 love from the uk. 🇬🇧

Gotta love them!!

People really sleep on John Paul Jones due the other giants in the band, but he really held down the bottom on this song.

LOL - that's the first time I've ever heard anyone refer to that line as "smooth." 😆

little boogie you are so cute! Im so glad that you did this song... not many ppl know about this song

You said that the MOST amazing thing... you caught the whole "imagination" thing. You can be nasty without being vulgar -- this is a masterpiece.

... Im gonna leave my "children" down on this "killing " floor 😁😃 = if his seed hits the ground; it will unfortunately never be fertilized ( a nice interpretation) ❤ love U guys == plz react to more Led Zep w/ lyrics in front of U both ..... their Poetry n Stories are one Dimension that would be striking to delve Deep into

Being 58 years old my perspective looking back is Yes, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and, Steely Dan, are my four Top Tier artists which represent the pinnacle of musicianship for their genre. IMO, below them are many bands, right at that level, The Who, Rush, Lynerd Skynerd, and dozens more right at the top tier level, the late 60' through the mid 80's produces a Lot of music.

Real poets and metaphor use is a thing of the past but will always be the best compositions that last and last.. 🎼✌️❤️

It went right there at the end. LIke Every Great Climax does.

Already mentioned this when your husband reacted to this song. Led Zeppelin was fiddling around in the studio and they recorded this song in one set. Another fun fact: this song is inspired by Howlin' Wolf "Killing Floor" and Albert King's "Cross-cut Saw" but references go even back to 1936 with the song "She Squeezed My Lemon" by Arthur McKay and Roosevelt Sykes and Robert Johnson with his "Traveling Riverside Blues"

Hello. This is one of my fave Zepplin songs. I would like to suggest "Thank You" by them for a couples video (do lyrics for this one, please) & Wedding Bell Blues by Fifth Dimension. Enjoy. Be safe.

It’s all innuendo’s Plant is the best at that!!

Oh wow...idk what to say!!..I got a Zeppelin tattoo that I wear proudly and I love to see more people of color of all races love their music! Especially in these trying times!! God love Robert Johnson!! And God Save Led Zeppelin!!!

Great reaction!

very nice!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!

I always listen to this song twice mainly because I have to listen to it once left channel only to hear that ruanchy rhythym guitar .

The lyrics are lifted from old blues songs. Led Zeppelin did that often. In this case, they're Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" with the "lemon" lyrics lifted from "Traveling Riverside Blues" by Robert Johnson

Word is that John Paul Jones' bass is still smoking a cigarette....

TNT Please let your Beautiful Wife react to the song ( Come Again) by the Damn Yankee's you two will be surprised who makes up this Rock band , 4 guys from different band's.Its a great Rock Love Song. Thxs

Zeppelin's infamous cut n paste methodology with old (and sometimes not-so-old) blues numbers often spilled out a blistering rock heatwave like this - with much of the audience being unaware of where lines and riffs and whole structures were lifted from. But, as Chuck Berry once observed, there ain't nuthin' new under the sun.

Great song!

You have a great smile! Pretty eyes too!

A bass line to die for.

I would be interested to see your reaction to The Doors. Personally I was introduced to Led Zeppelin , The Doors, and Pink Floyd all at the same time. It wasn't until late 90s. While in order of respect I would put it Floyd, Zeppelin, Doors. My personal preference is the opposite. The Doors were more fun. Zeppelin is more all around. And Floyd makes you think and is more introspective. Talent I would definitely get the Floyd , but better is a matter of personal preference

Straight up blues

If you didn't know this lead singer was a blonde-haired white guy from a middle class family in the Midlands in central England, you'd think he was some old black guy from the Mississippi Delta; Robert Plant is THAT good!

Beautiful wife - beautiful life!

best Bass and Drums EVER !.....not bad guitar solos either....what a band

One of the biggest fans of Led Zeppelin are the girls of Heart, Anne and Nancy Wilson. They're famous for covering them and even performed Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy center honors for Zeppelin. Anne is quoted as talking about having seen them live and that particular song horrifying her at the time as a 17 year old girl. "What did he just say!!??" lol

Every man's wife should listen to this song. "get the idea Honey?".

T, is she old enough to be listening this heat?

Listen to Robert Johnson's, up jumped the devil blues. Then you'll know where we got English based blues

This made MY face red 😂😂😂

'...squeeze my lemon...til the juice runs down my leg...' 😅

This tune is rife with euphemisms of the carnal nature, but it's a stone, cold groove.

Subscribed.

One of my favorite innuendo TNT reactions. A close second is "it's a about the pussy". Inside reference

I know you have a lot of reactions to do but it would be great for you to do these songs. April 25th is ANZAC day it is when Australia remembers the fallen it is hard for people not from Australia to understand it's importance. ANZAC day started after WW1 from a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner but thanks to COVID-19 all the services have been cancelled. the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle I Was Only 19 by Redgum

there are people who arent even born yet, who still have yet to listen to the rock gods led zepplin

'squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg' is a metaphorical way of saying what today's songwriters might use more graphic language....however I am not sure that's not pretty damn graphic to start with.

Custard Pie with lyrics, you both will love it

Zeppelin should be mandatory listening starting at 12 years old to 18 years old.. or high school really

A veritable showcase for JPJ on bass

Mmmm..I like so much the Video's Brown Girl. Salute from SouthernWest Spain 🇪🇸 😉😘

Dynamically Metaphorical...

If T still has back pain, you need to leave his lemon alone girl, or he will never get better hahaha.

And the final line, "I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor"... in other words, he don't need no woman, he's going to 'take matters in hand' from now on...

We had a CODE in the day... You weren't allowed to be so vulgar in public back then, so we had to make up "coded phrases" to mean the vulgar and horrible things... AND I for one, rather prefer the Code. I like it because you can say what needs said without smashing it out in the obvious method. You don't have to be "outright" nasty to be "nasty"... as it were. ;o)

Bluesy love it
