I never get sick of this song. Yeah, they did a couple overdubs, but the main body of the song is the band live in the studio. Now you guys cut that out. You know what it means to have your lemon squeezed! Lol. Also big shout out to Howlin Wolf and his guitarist Hubert Sumlin who inspired this jam(Killin' Floor). They were huge to the white kids in England! Thats how white kids here discovered them! That is how fucked up segrigation was back in the 50s and 60s. Look at Hendrix! He had to go to England before anyone in his own country would give him a chance. Just embarrassing.

The part about "Killing Floor" is from a song by the same name recorded by Howlin' Wolf. The double time section is what they used to call a "rave up" back in the day and was used to get the audience up and moving. Jimmy had played plenty of those with The Yardbirds. Jonesy said one of the things he was very proud of was Zep's music could get their audience to dance and groove, unlike some of their contemporaries. Zep's music was often very nuanced and they really made you listen.

Lol… Zeppelin sometimes requires multiple listenings because there like colors of an artists palette… they each have their own contributions that warrant all your attention…. Then you have the collective work….. there layered like any masterpiece…. Now they shift gears again and give you “ Thank You” …. A love song for the ages…..

"Squeeze me baby, 'til the juice runs down my leg. The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed." It's a do-me-wrong song, as many blues songs are, but apparently all that lemon squeezing has kept him around way too long. For me, this is a top Zep song showing off their playing skills at the highest level. As a guitar player, I was drawn to Page because he didn't just noodle about during solos. HIs solos always had a voice and a direction. They always go somewhere, nary a wasted note. Then there's JPJ and Bonzo killing the bass and drums while Percy does his banshee thing. What's not to like?

"Killing Floor: was where they killed the cows and pigs, in those old school Slaughterhouses, back in the day. Had drains on the floor for the blood and all. The floor was made of ceramic tiles, to be easily hosed down with water and cleaned up. I am not sure about the lemon thing, probably just hard to think of a song title, so they just went with the part of the song where Plant was talking about the lemon innuendo stuff.

From AI Overview on the internet: "In Howlin' Wolf's song 'Killing Floor', the killing floor is a metaphor for male-female relationships. The killing floor is the area of a slaughterhouse where animals are killed. According to blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin, who was a long-time associate of Wolf, 'Down on the killing floor - that means a woman has you down, she went out of her way to try to kill you'. Sumlin explained that the song is about being treated so badly that you'd rather be dead."

This song is called "Killing Floor". It's an old Howlin' Wolf blues standard. Covering this is the rough equilivant of a jazz band doing Giant Steps or Autumn Leaves. They renamed it the Lemon Song because of Plant's improvisational lyrics about "squeeze my lemon, 'till the juice runs down my leg". That is a lyrical motif shows up in Zeppelin music more than once, check out the 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert's version of "How Many More Times" as an example.

You know what it means to have your lemon squeezed! Lol. Also big shout out to Howlin Wolf and his guitarist Hubert Sumlin who inspired this jam(Killin' Floor). They were huge to the white kids in England! Thats how white kids here discovered them! That is how fucked up segrigation was back in the 50s and 60s. Look at Hendrix! He had to go to England before anyone in his own country would give him a chance. Just embarrassing.
That bass & drum groove to me is the highlight of this song. Of course everybody was on top of their game for this jam! But DAMN that John Paul Jones solo!

The part about "Killing Floor" is from a song by the same name recorded by Howlin' Wolf. The double time section is what they used to call a "rave up" back in the day and was used to get the audience up and moving. Jimmy had played plenty of those with The Yardbirds. Jonesy said one of the things he was very proud of was Zep's music could get their audience to dance and groove, unlike some of their contemporaries. Zep's music was often very nuanced and they really made you listen.

When they featured JPJ on bass in a song, he never disappointed. Though, there are many songs of theirs where the bass isn't that pronounced in the mix, but if you removed it, you'd damned sure notice. He was amazing. Not to mention all the other instruments he played.
Masters of their craft...all four of them!!🎶 There will never be another Led Zeppelin!!🎶🎸🎶🎸
Bass line is so good it’s worth a listen unto itself….. This is a rendition of “ Killing Floor” by Howlin Wolf… Blues standard turned on its head….. “Squeeze my Lemon till the juice runs down my leg”…. Only one interpretation of that lyric…. Lol… Zeppelin sometimes requires multiple listenings because there like colors of an artists palette… they each have their own contributions that warrant all your attention…. Then you have the collective work….. there layered like any masterpiece…. Now they shift gears again and give you “ Thank You” …. A love song for the ages….. In the right moment it can bring tears … beautiful art is a powerful seduction….. enjoy… look forward to your next….

Jazz disguised inside a Rock and Roll blanket and suit of Blues. My favorite Led Zeppelin song hands down. The level of musicianship here is unmatched. They leave each other individually, but are always in the room and groove together. It's amazing.

Finding a naughty song by LZ isn't hard, haha!
Page and Plant are sooo good, that we sometimes forget how important THAT rhythm section is..
"Squeeze me baby, 'til the juice runs down my leg. The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed." It's a do-me-wrong song, as many blues songs are, but apparently all that lemon squeezing has kept him around way too long. For me, this is a top Zep song showing off their playing skills at the highest level. As a guitar player, I was drawn to Page because he didn't just noodle about during solos. HIs solos always had a voice and a direction. They always go somewhere, nary a wasted note. Then there's JPJ and Bonzo killing the bass and drums while Percy does his banshee thing. What's not to like?

"Killing Floor: was where they killed the cows and pigs, in those old school Slaughterhouses, back in the day. Had drains on the floor for the blood and all. The floor was made of ceramic tiles, to be easily hosed down with water and cleaned up. I am not sure about the lemon thing, probably just hard to think of a song title, so they just went with the part of the song where Plant was talking about the lemon innuendo stuff.

From AI Overview on the internet: "In Howlin' Wolf's song 'Killing Floor', the killing floor is a metaphor for male-female relationships. The killing floor is the area of a slaughterhouse where animals are killed. According to blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin, who was a long-time associate of Wolf, 'Down on the killing floor - that means a woman has you down, she went out of her way to try to kill you'. Sumlin explained that the song is about being treated so badly that you'd rather be dead."

This song is called "Killing Floor". It's an old Howlin' Wolf blues standard. Covering this is the rough equilivant of a jazz band doing Giant Steps or Autumn Leaves. They renamed it the Lemon Song because of Plant's improvisational lyrics about "squeeze my lemon, 'till the juice runs down my leg". That is a lyrical motif shows up in Zeppelin music more than once, check out the 1970 Royal Albert Hall concert's version of "How Many More Times" as an example.
THESE ARE SOME BAD DUDES! Nuff said! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

Great review. I really enjoy your reactions because they were much like mine all those years ago. Another example of Zeppelin's ability to mash up various blues and jazz motifs into a sonic rock masterpiece. And every time you hear one of these numbers, it has an immediacy as if they are in the room right at the moment. Production quality was like the fifth element with them, and Jimmy Page was the producer.

This is all delta and Chicago blues, which Led. Zep built on so well. Thanks for commenting on this great tune. Check out Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, etc. Killing Floor is an old blues song, written by Howlin Wolf.
The first album is raw because that's a way they recorded it. 15 hours recording time. 14 hours of mixing. Very few over dubs. After only 2 or 3 weeks of practice as a band. The second album was recorded on a road and different studios with lots of time to mix it.
Great reaction. There are definitely documentaries out there that talk about Zep's recording techniques. They would record in castles with crazy acoustics!
Always cool to see people discovering what we been getting down to for decades. Rock on.
Thats one of the reasons I appreciate the musical insight you guys have, I never noticed JPJ following JP in that little run. This song shows off JPJ"s mastery bass and all things funky that goes with it. Actually this song shows the chemistry they had along with the skills of virtuosos but they never step on each others toes. They just combine it all together with everyone fitting in exactly the right way. Really this song belongs to JPJ I have to say.
that is one hell of a groove!
So much of the Zepp's music was influenced and was based on blues. They just added their own character to it.
Love love love bluesy rock to death. Remember when this album came out, many parents of young teens were cringing at these lyrics. LoL This tune is a masterpiece.

One of the special things about Led Zeppelin is that the drummer rhythms along with the lead guitarist and the Bass. Sometimes even a 3rd drum timing for the vocalist as well. --His children are his seeds, squeezed out of his lemon, which ran down his leg, according to the song.
Also there is an isolation of JPJ and Bonzo on this track which is also great
The line is: I wouldn't be here, my children Down on this killing floor
This is fos SURE a bass players song..JpJ goes in so good in this one.. Walks the dog BEAUTIFULLY
4:46 JPJ solo. It's so fu*kn good!😁
No filters, this was 1969. They did acoustic parlor tricks like singing through a cut bleach bottle or putting towels in the snare drum. I don't mean that negatively... on the contrary, it speaks to their ingenuity
This is the first LZ song I remember listening to. I actually listened to LZ2 before I listened to the first album.

Some of the funkiest bass you'll ever hear from JPJ - blues goes into rockabilly and back - so much in this song not just risque lyrics.
Thanks for pointing out JPJ on that verse outro scale thingy that was dope!
Jimmy did overdubs on every song in the studio. Every song. Some he has 3 or 4 guitars playing side by side on the different tracks. He improvised the parts on stage to cover the highlights.
The KILLING FLOOR is where cattle is killed and butchered at the slaughterhouse. (not deer thank god ). Ozzy of Black Sabbath worked on the killing floor in his youth. Lyrics: " Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg "
This song scared me as a young female in the late 70's. I thought I wasn't safe at a LZ concert after this. But then I learned how to appreciate the blues and no more fear, just pure appreciation for the roots and rocknroll soul this band of truly prolific writers is all about.
Another song that showcase Page's guitar talent is White Summer/Black Mountainside. There is a live version and it's pretty badass.
Led Zeppelin. My favourite jazz band.
They were in their 20's and they were genius. Them and Black Sabbath.
I'm sure someone said this below, but Plant sings at one point, "The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed", so the title is referencing that. Also, "killing floor" is an old blues term, and it's actually the title of a tune by Howlin' Wolf. Not sure what it means, exactly.
my band used to play this one so it's special to me. love your reactions
Jimmy Page is a genius producer too. They are all on fire but the bass line is so so good.
It made me laugh so much when one of these dudes said that Led Zeppelin “ got their junk out “ on this one !
