"Royal Orleans"
by Led Zeppelin
From the album Presence (1976)

This third offering on the album, being only 2 minutes 58 seconds, is the shortest track on here. It starts with a tumbling drum roll which is married perfectly to Jimmy's guitar and joined to a pleasant flowing vocal from Robert.
The guitar moves with an almost funkadelic lead style travelling to a jazzy short solo. Double-beat drums then return which lead to a chorus of instruments topped with vocals.
This short melody is sharp and to the point, yet it can still leave the listener debating whether they feel at ease or on edge.
