Mér datt í hug að það væri gaman að koma af stað svona umræðum um sögur eða athyglisverðar staðreyndir sem er á bak við lög, ég tak mig náttúrulega til og byrja á lagi sem allir Íslendingar ættu að þekkja vegna sögunnar sem er á bak við það.
Robert Plant: No, what happened was we went to Iceland, and uh it was one of those times when you went to bed at night and you don't go to sleep because it's, the daylight is still there, you know, it was a twenty-four hour day, and uh, there was just an amazing hue in the sky, and it was one of those things that umm, made you thing of Vikings and big ships and John Bonham's stomach, and things like that. So, there you are, “Immigrant Song”.
Lagið er sem sagt Immigrant Song og það fjallar um Ísland. Fyrir þá sem vita það ekki þá spilaði Led Zeppelin á Íslandi 22. júní 1970. Ég myndi telja þá merkilegustu hljómsveit sem hefur komið hingað til lands og efast um ég sé einn um þá skoðun.
Textinn við laginu gerir það mjög augljóst að það er verið að tala um Ísland:
IMMIGRANT SONG
Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
Hammer of the gods
We'll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing an' cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep-we with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
S-so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
