Question:
What is Led Zeppelin's Song The Crunge About?
There are some crazy lyrics inside of Led Zeppelin's The Crunge. I know it must have some type of story or inspiration behind it.
Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!

Answers:
This song is a play on James Brown's style in the same way that "D'yer Mak'er" messes around with reggae. The keyboard replaces the horn section. Since most of James Brown's early recordings were done live with almost no rehearsal time, he often gave directions to the band in-song e.g. "take it to the bridge" - the bridge of the song. It's not symbolic, it's a tribute to JB.
