Led Zeppelin cartoon mystery

I know of no finer assemblage of minds and knowledge than the folks on Free Republic.

I came across this cartoon this morning:

I figured out that it's a reference to Led Zeppelin -- but being familiar with only three of the group's songs, I'm at a loss to figure out which song's lyrics are being parodied.

I'm 100% percent confident that some FReeper will know -- and probably in less than 10 minutes after I post this. Thanks!

All my Love?

[Sasparilla]

Light Emitting Diode...LED Dirigible...

Get it? A very weak joke, indeed

[BreezyDog]

I'll take a stab...

Street Corner Girl

[Sasparilla]

The song? Good question

“Thank You”

I see no connection to Led Zeppelin:

BTW, I was at this concert in 1969.

I don’t think any of these guesses are right. I’m looking up Zeppelin lyrics, and nothing matches that “cipher” in the cartoon.

Whatever the correct answer, the lyric will be obvious. I’m still looking...

I see no connection to Led Zeppelin

"Light Emitting Diode Dirigible" is clearly "L.E.D Zeppelin," not "Led," but that's what it is. So it stands to reason that the lyrics are also a Zeppelin reference.

[NewJerseyJoe]

Yeah, I just looked up all the guesses given so far, and none of them correspond to the cartoon.

The correct lyrics should be something along the lines of “My lover orbits around me the way the wind follows the ocean” or words to that effect.

I just wasted the last 45 minutes googling every variation on that, but came up with nothing....

I'm going to guess it's a very feeble attempt at the chorus of What is and What Should Never Be ["Catch the wind, see us spin..."]

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away
Leave today, way up high in the sky and whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time

And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh, what fun it all would be
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away
Leave today, way up high in the sky and whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go, it only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time

So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness… Full lyrics on Google Play

Ramble On?

[FredZarguna]

My guess is the chorus to What is and What Should Never Be. See previous post.

[WXRGina]

I was thinking that, too. “My love” and “centripetal” central, or “my heart,” maybe. The ocean waves—air/water.

I “think” its Thank You...but I don’t know what exact lyric it’s referring to:
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There’ll still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain, whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die
Inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration, look to see
And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine we walk the miles
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Happiness, no longer sad
Happiness, I’m glad
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There’ll still be you and me, and me

What you said...
