  • i always thought they be better if they had a better bass player. nothing against brian jones but he sucks.

  • The reason this song is on the "B" side of a 45 is because the "A" side is IMMIGRATION SONG a CLASSIC 45 to have. I gave mine to a friend, Mark Rawlins, 1984

  • Led Zeppelin has a such a great sound in this song! There's just something wonderful about it. It makes me think of wine, women, and shady country roads.

  • this song was uploaded on my birthday

  • Probably one of the best songs ever written.

  • EVERY BAND HAS A LEAST ONE HIDDEN GEM

    LED ZEPPELIN-HEY HEY WHAT CAN I DO

    ROLLING STONES-CHILD OF THE MOON

    BEATLES-THE INNER LIGHT

    BLACK SABBATH-WICKED WORLD

    KNOW WHAT I MEAN

  • The band themselves thought it was "scrappy" at the time (the recording sessions of LZ III in mid 1970). They only released it as a single in America, thinking this kind of song would only be good for that market (and not on any album). It didn't have anything to do with "enough acoustics" or too many of them - if a song was good enough, it was going on that session's album, if it was completed. Some songs, like the Rover and No Quarter were already created, but nowhere near completion

  • How the hell did this tune end up being a b-side?

  • Just amazing this song never made a original studio album. Who the %&*# overlooked THIS decision?

  • @guitardds ...led zep themselves?!

  • @donnjuansohn

    Hah ya, probably, wonder what the reasoning was. That has Led Zep III written all over it.

  • @guitardds yea its a nice song. but remember led zep IV also has some nice acoustics with going to california and battle of evermore. i think they just thought they'd have enough acoustics already and considered this one the weakest (with the weakest message)

  • I saw them in1970 at the Hampton Beach Casino , I was 15, I was too close to the stage, and the next day my ears were still ringing, unbelievable , God they were good !!

  • ...this is why Led Zep are simply the best band ever. Fuckin brilliant song! Simply fuckin brilliant!!

  • never could figure out why they didn't put this on coda, would have been perfect.

  • Skynyrd sucks. One of the most overrated bands of all time. Zep kicks mad Skynyrd ass!

  • @D2theA2theG skynyrd actually a pretty good maybe you should turn on your hearing aid next time a van zant song starts playing

  • Freakin love this song. Thanks for the post. They may be the quintessential rock and roll band.

  • I really tried to like Zep but I just don't care for them. That being said I recognize the effect they had on music and I really do love this song.

  • You think robert plant ate meatball sandwiches?

  • oh my crisp audio. epic zep tune here *****

  • fuck pirate is an idiot cuz skynard is one of the best bands ever

  • but cant pick like skynard but still one of the best

  • this is my fav period

  • Led Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" was also released on the 1972 compilation album : The New Age of Atlantic.

    It headed a stellar play-list of songs by: Yes, Buffalo Springfield, Cactus, Delaney & Bonnie, Dr. John, John Prine, Laudon Wainwright III, J. Geils Band, Gordon Haskell & Jonathan Edwards.

    For me it ramains as one of the greatest albums of its time....

  • Skynard sucked severely. His music hurts me.

  • yes there is lynard skynard undoutly is the only 1 i here maybe

  • Fuck Lynard fucking Skynard!

  • @fuckpirate That's "Lynyrd Skynyrd"

  • I wonder if is there a band better than this one?

  • Comment removed

  • Probably one of the best songs in the history of rock n roll . come on everybody lets keep legendary music alive . thumbs up

  • Yes XMOD3RNRANG3Rx. One of the best LZ songs ever! I first heard it when I saw Led Zeppelin . I saw Page and Plant play it in Detroit and twice in LA

  • To my angel with the broken wing! 

  • Music that stands the test of time. Love this song !

  • I know it, I turned my son on 2 it when he was in Iraq, I burned so many cds 4 him but he never heard this one & he loved it=)

  • best song ever

  • A great song transfixes you. It shuts out the world and takes you someplace else. A great song makes a bad day not-so-bad. This is a GREAT song.

  • @uhlerrobertj very well said !

  • I remember when zeppelin releases would hit the streets, heading to the record stores to get them.

    perhaps i'm biased buy young people today are getting screwed, musically. at least we have stuff like this to remind us.

    thanks for uploading such a quality version. you rock. pun intended.

  • @vinylvillela Imagine that i'm 15 and i posted this song year ago...

  • I have a blog called Where The Guitars Play (hence this song) Pure poetry! <3

  • Awesome! This song says it all!!!

  • This song is so awsome. I grew up on this stuff when I was a kid and it's still the best

  • Thanks for this too, Gallows Pole is my favorite of all time. You posted the excellent version of that too, huh?

  • @WarHorse1206 yep

  • My man got a woman who stay drunk all the time, he just don't know it!

  • @HeReigns33  Halleluyer!!!

  • @HeReigns33 I'm just kidding Honey!!!!!

  • I don't think it's possible to put into words how to describe this song (let alone the band)

  • what album is this from?

  • @UnAmEiTwEmAkEiTFILMS It was never on an official album, just on a B-side with Immigrant song on the front. I'm pretty sure it's on one of their greatest hits albums though.

  • If only i could dance to this song when i get married...haha i guess we can all dance to it when we get divorced

  • I was going to post my special studio version of this song on Youtube, but I gotta worried mind sharing what I thought was mine...........

  • oh such a quaint little ditty 'bout a wayward nymph....one of the best examples of the Zeps folky chops....*puts on endless repeat"

  • im the woman who stays drunk all the time

    

  • My little lover does the midnight shift...

  • LED ZEPPELIN  epic band epic is their middle name <333333

  • This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song too! I drive my friends crazy playing this song so much.

  • Thank god this song was uncovered from their outtakes.

  • love me some Led Zepp!

  • My little lover does the midnight shift,... she balls-around all the time? Ain't that a Bitch! I mean, who hasn't had 1 of these in their past lifetime. lol.

  • @pingeek777 : wow, talk about a blast from the past: Peaches Records... with the wooden crates holding all their vinyl.

    So glad this was posted on YouTube. My favorite Zep song of all time.

  • One of the best Led Zeppelin songs ever, and quite hard to find even when it was all over the local classic rock station in the 70's/80's. I remember buying Zeppelin 8 tracks and albums trying to track down this song, and the joke was on me. I had to buy a 45 record of "The Immigrant Song" at the former Peaches records, to get this song, which was the b-side.

  • @pingeek777 peaches records.... i don't know if i remember that . oh, sort of.. man that was a long time ago. i too, didn't know where to get this, it wasn't on any of their albums, but i had it on a bootleg tape. never could understand why it wasn't on an album, and they only played once or twice on the radio in denver there 1970. "peaches" was that a record store you found in the malls? 1970 aurora co got it's first mall, and they had the best stores i've ever seen! "manhole cover" spencers gi

  • thumbs up if u like led zep

  • best song ever

  • Their greatest song, yet a great unknown, shame...

  • @Cptjackjacky its a shame that somemany people do not know the definition of good music

  • This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song!!! >XD

  • @M3XICANFL3M if i had to choose just one song, of course i would take this ...

    the best song ever?

    i can't isn't.

  • This is the most awesomest LED ZEP ever!

  • Nice : )
