Watch John Paul Jones play bass on new version of "When the Levee Breaks"

Wow! The human voice, and the mouthorgan are both amazing musical instruments. This version of the track is a real banger.

Probably not so simple as that, but eye of the beholder I guess. I was just interested to find that it may have never been “mountain” in the first place.

Here’s isolated vocals from Zeppelin IV, including the slowdown.

Sounds like “monkey man” to me.

A thousand internet lyrics sites all wrong lol.

ETA: Fun experiment, use the YouTube controls to speed this back up to be close to the unaltered vocal I posted earlier.

ETA II: For the wildest idea of all, I wonder if it could have been intended as a dig at Jagger?

Thanks for this, Mark!
I had heard of Susan Tedeschi but never actually heard her perform. I think the rest of my day (week?) will be spent listening to her stuff.
