3381

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg,
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg,
The way you squeeze my lemon,
I..I'm gonna fall right out of bed."

Led Zeppelin: "The Lemon Song"
From the album: "Led Zeppelin II"

Bluesy

I don't know actually how an iPod on 'Shuffle' actually selects the track to play? Maybe there's some digital pointer which spins like a demented compass needle and says "Right, matey, you're next!"

Last night, I migrated the last of the Led Zep tracks from the original vinyl, and when I was cleaning up The Lemon Song (see above) I remembered how, as a callow fifteen year old, I was only prompted to listen to the lyrics of the imaginatively-titled Led Zeppelin II by my Mum saying "Ooh, that's a bit saucy, isn't it?"

So I smiled wistfully as it played back a second time, eliminating the crackles and clicks before being digitally committed to memory.

And then, on the commute in this morning, I was thinking that was a blogworthy memory, when bu99er me, the very track popped into the earphones. One track out of 3381 on the iPod?

Spooky...
