Led Zeppelin's transcontinental renaissance kicks into high gear with their reunion concert tonight in London. While over on our side of the ocean, Zeppelin has inked a promotional deal with the NFL and ESPN. Which explains why you heard “Dazed and Confused” in the background on last Monday night while the referees were ass-raping the Ravens' defense with gusto.
When Unsilent Majority heard about Zeppelin's deal he expressed unbridled optimism that this arrangement might lead to to the band playing at half-time of the Super Bowl. Since Maj is the wide-eyed naif of our collective, he doesn't understand that Led Zeppelin doesn't play half-time shows. If anything, the Super Bowl should be played at intermission of a Led Zeppelin show.
The six of us put our heads together to predict what Zep tunes our favorite NFL personalties would request. We know, you're thinking, “great, another crappy list post.” But it was either this or I break out my theramin while Drew dons his unbuttoned half-shirt ala Robert Plant. NOW CRANK IT UP, FUCKERS!!!

ReplyDeleteDid you not see the Patron Saint on MNF? Suzy was looking beautiful. You heretic. I swear if you float in water, weigh the same as a duck you are made of wood. And therefore, a witch!
Ach. I'd contribute, but you already used Achilles' Last Stand on Vinny Testaverde
ReplyDelete@ spud randall - katrina was referring to hurricane katrina, the hurricane that passed through new orleans in august of 2005 and caused massive amounts of damage... thus the "levee" reference.
ReplyDelete@ ricky - i'm too sleepy to tell if you were being sarcastic or not, but they did make a movie about the 1970 marshall football team in december of 2006.. however, if this was meant to be a sarcastic, then disregard this comment.
...pulling an all-nighter for college finals and wanted to take a break from studying.
Did somebody really just throw down "Who let the dogs out" on a post about Led Fucking Zeppelin?
ReplyDeleteI know just about all the songs were taken, but ... Christ.
Not all the songs...
ReplyDeleteMiami Dolphins_____Hots on for Nowhere
@spud: please do not tell me that katrina was seriously news to you...
Actually, I just spent 2.5 years swimming in grape jello so I didn't hear anything.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of grape jello. Anyhow it was Hurricane Katrina in 2005 that fucked up New Orleans and the Gulf Coast royally.
