The Crunge Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



I wanna tell you bout my good thing I aint
disclosing no names- but she is a good friend
I aint gonna tell you where she comes from if I tell
you you wont come again I aint gonna tell you that
I should do but I know now let me tell you bout
my girl open a newspaper and what do I see
see my girl looking at me and when she walks,
she walks and when she talks, she talks and
when she looks at me in the eye shes my baby
I wanna make her mine tell me baby what you
want me to do you want me to love you, love
some other man too aint gonna call me mr. pitiful
no I dont need no respect from nobody no

I aint gonna tell you nothing I cant tell
you no more shes my baby let me tell you I love
her so and shes the woman I really wanna love
and let me tell you more shes my baby she lives
next door shes the one a woman the one a woman
that I know I aint gonna tell you one thing that
you really ought to know shes my baby and I love
her so shes the one that really makes me whirl
and twirl and shes got the kind of love that makes
me fill the whole world shes the kind of girl
makes me jump and shout shes the kind of girl
lets me know what its all about take it take it

Excuse me
Oh will ya excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please!

(Have you seen the bridge?)

I ain't seen the bridge!

(Where's that confounded bridge?)


Evolved out of a jam session in the studio. John Bonham started the beat, John Paul Jones came in on bass, Jimmy Page played a James Brown riff, and Robert Plant started singing.
The Crunge is a dance you can't dance to. They wanted to put dance steps for it with the album but couldn't do it logistically.
You can hear a studio engineer at the beginning ask Bonham if he's "ready to rock."
At the end Plant asks "Where's the bridge?" He's referring to the James Brown song they took the guitar riff from where Brown asks his band to "Take it to the bridge."
The drums at the beginning were sampled by New York DJs Double D and Steinski for a song called "Level 3." In 1989, De La Soul recorded a song called "The Magic Number," which sampled the part of "Level 3" that sampled this. What we are trying to say is this was indirectly sampled by De La Soul.
Page would slip the guitar riff from this into other songs during concerts.
Released as the B-side of "D'yer Mak'er."
