I'm thinkin' that I haven't done any Zeppelin yet. Hard to believe, huh? Of course ya'll probably expect me to do Stairway To Heaven, right? Well...I'm not gonna', O.K.? No...I'm thinkin' about my personal Zep favorite...No Quarter from Houses Of The Holy.
|

|
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song as a kid. When Robert sang the first lines I thought he sounded like Kermit The Frog and I started laughing!!!
|
|
|
|
...and I imagine a video for this song, right? It's a bum walkin' all over town. Eventually he goes to a pay phone to make a call. He reaches in his pocket and finds he has no change. Get it? No Quarter!!??
|
|
|
|
yoddle lay he ho!!
|
|
|
|
I see we meet again!
|
|
|
|
yeah, long time no see!!
|
|
|
|
So...what do ya' think about my video idea for No Quarter?
|
|
|
|
i likey!! just glad phone calls weren't a dolla...woouldn't sounded kinda lame if the song title was ...no dolla. carry on!
|
|
|
|
Well...phone calls were a dime then. No Dime just sounds kinda' stupid. No Dolla' sounds like a Gangsta' Rap song or something. No Quarter sounds pretty ominous however.....
|
|
|
|
yes, yes it does...let the ominous begin!!
|
|
|
|
Oh...this song was covered fairly recently right? Do you know who did it? I'm drawin' a blank. Personally I don't think bands should cover Zeppelin. I mean...why bother? STP's version of Dancing Days is pretty bad in my opinion.....

Actually a phone call at a payphone costs .35 cents now.
