"D'yer Mak'er"
by Led Zeppelin
From the album Houses Of The Holy (1973)

A double drum trill starts it off, the jig of the guitar followed still by pleading lyrics of, "Oh, ho ho ho, you don't have to go". Desperate vocals hold the long notes, but this is in a minor key and mid-range for Robert, who is accustomed to reaching those high notes; it's new territory for the listener and for Robert.
Later he enters with his trademark 'mind the windows', Robert Plant's singing again, or they may just shatter. Ha.
Smooth instrumentals takes over, guitar charging along, caressed by a timid catchy drum beat.
Robert is off again, "All the tears I cried" and "Oh I do love you baby, I still love you so". Please, whatever it was, forgive him and put him out of his misery. He really is sorry this time.
Drawing to a close, the catchy jig of the guitar continues, accompanied by trumpet, what a duo! What a tune! This will fulfil all your dreams of musical fantasy and a few more. I dare you to stop humming along if you can.
