Whole Lotta Love 

 "Whole Lotta Love" was released by Led-Zeppelin in October of 1969. The song was released on their second album, Led-Zeppelin II 

and was the first song on it. The song is based a little bit on "You need love," witten by Willie Dixon and sung by Muddy Waters. Willie Dixon was upset that the song resembled his own and sued the band. Dixon and Muddy won the case against the band. The song is  explicit if you analyse the lyrics at a long lyrical level. Robert Plant wrote this song as if a man was singing to a women. Plant references "love" continuesly throughout the song and by "love" he is really referring to the male organ. Although this song has a lot of refrences to sexual deeds, it is not the only Led Zeppelin son to do so. On their forth album Zeppelin has two more songs that have "a sexual yearning so strong to posses its victums." (Tribero Snaidero)
