Led Zeppelin: (LZ) "The Lemon Song" (1969)

adapted from WIKIPEDIA: Led Zeppelin performed "Killing Floor" live in 1968 and '69. It became the basis for "The Lemon Song", which they recorded in Los Angeles while on their second concert tour of North America. In some early performances Robert Plant introduced the song as "Killing Floor", with him often improvising lyrics onstage. An early UK pressing of Led Zeppelin II showed the title as "Killing Floor", credited to Chester Burnett, Howlin' Wolf's real name (both versions have the same opening verse). Other lyrics, notably "squeeze (my lemon) till the juice runs down my leg," can be traced to Robert Johnson's "Travelling Riverside Blues". It's likely Johnson borrowed this himself, from an Art McKay song recorded earlier the same year (1937) called "She Squeezed My Lemon". In December 1972, Arc Music, owner of publishing rights to Howlin' Wolf's catalog, sued Led Zeppelin for copyright infringement. The parties settled out of court. Though the amount was not disclosed, Howlin' Wolf received a check for $45,123 from Arc immediately following the suit, and subsequent releases included a co-songwriter credit for him. This CD reissue however credits only the group (Wikipedia includes Burnett as composer).
