>They can take their highway backwards and stroll on down to hell.

Found the lonely soul who doesn't get Led Zep. Nice try, thanks for playing. But you're thinking of AC/DC there, sport. Title track of Highway to Hell.

One of those killer classic bad-ass tunes with terrific driving hard rock music but really unfortunate lyrics. Like American Woman by the Guess Who, the anti-American anthem from a bunch of long-haired Canuckleheads that has the infectious churning guitar riff. The Doors' When the Music's Over is another one—an appeal to left-wing environazis to rise up against gun owners and "take over" to save the planet. Morrison was an amazingly gifted avant-garde artist who pulled a lot of pussy but also was one, a lot of the time.

Lots of rock songs feature music that's great and lyrics that aren't. Part of the deal I guess.
