Every so often I listen to Led Zeppelin and realize just how good these they actually were. Seriously, whatever music you enjoy, they have something for you. If you’re old enough to remember them, then get reacquainted. If you’re too young to have listened to them, you need to give them a whirl. “Immigrant Song” is one of the many Led Zeppelin songs I like to bust into mouth-jams with and sometimes sing along to. And Jimmy Page is wickedly relentless on this track.
If you’re wondering what mouth-jams are. Well, you try to combine the sounds of as many instruments as possible coming out of your own mouth. We all know more than one isn’t possible. The art is in making it seems like more than one. If you’re advanced you can add some knee-slapping and stomping for the percussion section. This works very well with television theme songs, as well, and the Bean and I are currently employing effectively for Flight Of The Conchords and 30 Rock.
And, yeah, it sort of looks as dumb as it sounds.
