It's the B-side to Immigrant Song as Kurt mentioned. I found it 30 years ago figuring I cornered the market and it'd be worth hundreds of dollars by now. Nope. But a really cool groove tune nonetheless. Wouldn't expect anything less from this legendary band.
Righto ,Larry. Pretty well -known term .I can remember hearing it and kind of wondering at first ...... what does that mean ? I had heard the other slang for it.
The best Led Zeppelin song really. Never made it on an album. The instrumental and percussion...ppppffff... Bonham and Jones. Damn it... Just outstanding. 🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈
"You're time is gonna come", "What is and what should never be", "Ten years gone", "Babe I'm gonna leave you"....! These Zeppelin tracks are EPIC...!!!
I could be in the car listening casually to the radio and when a Led Zeppelin song comes on..I just focus and get my ears to listen. Most talented musicians
This track was originally only offered in the US as the B side to the single "Immigrant Song." At some point in the early 80s this song took off and became a hit in its own right.
Preach it brother! You are speaking truth! Annoyed the hell outta me! I have always loved this song and it was a son of a bi+@&!! to find it. Then it was finally on later release of coda I believe.
@@kenttaylor9238 Perhaps you were a little young to remember. But I remember hearing it when I first started listening to rock stations in 1976. I asked my older sisters who it was and without hesitation they said Led Zeppelin. They didn't have any Zep albums nor did their girlfriends (they were all about Chicago, ELO, America, Bread, and Carpenters), but said they loved the song, as much as Stairway (which they also knew from the radio). So they must've been hearing it on the rock stations for the few years prior to that. Then from '76 'til '82 when you first heard it, I remember hearing it frequently and IDing the band for many of my friends who were collecting all the Zep albums, but didn't know it was them because it wasn't on any of the LPs. I actually won quite a few bets on the question. Lol
LZ played the blues in almost every song they wrote, just in different styles from around the world - Fool in the Rain is a shuffle beat, The Crunge is an homage to James Brown's funk, Dazed and Confused is a waltz macabre, Kashmir uses Islamic tonalities, Ramble On references Lord of the Rings, Friends has a decided Hindi sound -- and they played with time signatures all the time, really a most creative rock band
Hey...great video...always love to see reactions to some of Led Zeppelin's deeper cuts. For another terrific blues song you folks should definitely check out Led Zeppelin's cover of Robert Johnson's classic Traveling Riverside Blues...the remastered version from the BBC sessions is probably best version, I guess. ✌✌💯💯
this came out when i was in high school in 1990..it was from the 70s but released later as part of the box set...it was a rock radio hit and spurred a Renaissance of sorts ...zep was really popular when I was high school a decade after they were already broken up
@@chrisd7047 box set. I loved them before it.. then it came out and all my friends bought it and zep was popular again at my high school....traveling riverside blues too
"Balling" as a reference for having sex used to be somewhat of a popular term back in the day but I think it had more prevalent usage in England so for the band, they probably assumed it was a common term in the US (which it sort of was back in the day).
Some radio markets wouldn't play this song or they'd try to fuzz the lyrics out because of the subjects ("street corner girl" - prostitution and "ball" - sex). The word "ball" was a crass and crude euphemism for the phrase of having sex with someone.
11.27.22. Check out (TYA)🎸 Ten Years After’s Version of Good morning little school girl…… The video from Cologne, Germany, 1969. Then you’ll have a pretty good idea what the term Ball means❗️🫵🏼
10/10/2023 first time hearing Hey Hey What Can I Do. And I've been listening to Led Zeppelin since 1980, but I've never stopped to listen to the whole CODA record. And I think this song is one of the best. ❤
This is a cool song and vibe by LZ and Asia you are cracking me up with your expressions and telling it like it is to BJ as he breaks it down!😊 Love your reaction guys - priceless🧡
I just started watching your videos and they're pretty addicting. It's very interesting to see reactions from people that have never heard some of my favorite music before. You should really check out two of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, I Can't Quit You and Fool In The Rain. Two totally different styles but both are fantastic.
Aaaaaaa-haaaaaa-haaaaaa!! Asia, this is an old Led Zep classic and I was focused on your expression waiting for the phrase "street corner girl!" you didn't disappoint!! Such a sweet love song that ends up with such a trashy twist! Hahahahaha!
Great reaction as always! This is one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Please react to Traveling Riverside Blues by Zeppelin. It's another great tune of theirs that didn't appear on an album.
Ya know "ball all day" doesn't mean basketball. saw you do the shot after he sang that. It means F*****G! Learn something new every day. Like your channel :)
*I will just say the same thing over and over...like a broken record...you may as well just react to all 108 of the Zeppelin songs because nearly all of them are great. I had all of their albums back then and I played them the most. I love the anticipation awaiting when Asia chimes in with some sense; "He got the wrong girl." She knows....*
That's a bigtime exaggeration. They're my favorite band but even I wouldn't say that "nearly every song in their catalog is great". A more realistic breakdown would be: *Masterpiece = 10%* *Great = 20%* *Very Good = 30%* *Good = 20%* *Fair = 17%* *Poor = 3%* This is still mighty impressive. Nearly every band in history would kill for this kind of quality distribution in their catalogs.
@@Cosmo-Kramer OK, perhaps "great" is relative, and good would better suit a description of each song in their collection as a whole. By me saying "nearly all of them are great" I was referring to the desire to skip a song or not. And there weren't many I would think..."Next!" For me, back then, there were only a couple of handfuls of songs I wasn't crazy about. But that still puts the number of "good" songs by them, for me, in the 90's of their 108.
@@Cosmo-Kramer what makes you an authority of their greatness? I've been a zeppelin fan since I bought their first album in 1970. And 100% disagree with you, as would most true Zeppelin fans.

A great LZ song! Two things about the 70s: it was the time of the Hippie movement and Free Love. If you found someone back then who wanted to be faithful to one person, it was a small miracle; the other thing was that the term "balling" meant having sex. Thanks for this great reaction! 💙✌
I'm still upset that they didn't include this song on Led Zeppelin III, it would have made the (vinyl) album even more incredible that it already was. I remember the radio station was the only way to hear it (no one could find the 45 single with Immigrant Song on the A side) so I had to tape it onto a blank cassette off my tuner
In those days the word "ball" didn't always mean cry, it also meant to have sex which I think is what Plant meant. If she's a street corner girl who wants to ball all day like he said that could be very expensive. 😛
I lost it when BJ did the free throw shooting gesture on "...ball all day." LOL! He knows how to try and keep the reactions PG-13.
Do they really know what that line means? That term is not used anymore.
Balling means ........
@@ihateusernames96 Screw. Jim
@@ihateusernames96 Intercourse. Sex. Fuc####
Ball around means screwing around
The line of the century " I got a worried mind sharing what I thought was mine" man what a great line.
This was the golden unicorn song for years because it wasn't on any album, the only way to hear it was when the radio played it.
It was a single on the flip side of the immigrant song. You could get the song but it wasn't easy to find.
I remember requesting it on the radio and lamely recording it! One of my all time favorites by anyone. ❤️✌️
@@kurtsaxton823 No one that I knew had the 45 but yes it was the Bside to immigrant song.

Bawling=crying.😭
Balling=making whoopee, as the old folks used to say.👀😊Used that way a lot in old Blues songs too.
Too funny - glad you set the record straight. It would be confusing for some of the younger kids these days😊
That is exactly what us old folks used to call it
Not crying! Not basketball! She's a street corner girl. 😅
Such a great song and the drums...
I laughed every time he was shooting hoops. All of us from back in the day know what ball meant...lol
Yeah, it's not bawling like you crying. Certainly not basketball. She was making it.
“Ball” had a pretty specific meaning in the 60’s & 70’s.
Yes it DID!
My High School friends were blown away that I got my MA from Ball State University!
Was just gonna say the same thing. And it had nothing to do with crying or basketball. 😉
Thats right
Righto ,Larry. Pretty well -known term .I can remember hearing it and kind of wondering at first ...... what does that mean ? I had heard the other slang for it.
But similar to baseball with the home runs and all
Zeppelin seriously have like 50 awesome songs. They rarely miss.
You misspelled "never"
@@joshehrendreich4058 you misspelled hardly. My bad take it back 3 seconds later gonna leave my mistake here rather than delete.

🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈
Black Dog my favorite but I always go back to this one.
4 Micheal Jordan's in one band ,that's Zeppelin!!!!
Jordan, Bird, Magic and Wilt
I like it when he suddenly blasts out I SAID I GOTTA LITTLE WOMAN AND SHE WONT BE TRUE
I forgot about this one ...every song of theirs is just fantastic
"You're time is gonna come", "What is and what should never be", "Ten years gone", "Babe I'm gonna leave you"....!
These Zeppelin tracks are EPIC...!!!
“Tangerine” and “Going To California” are also some other favorites of mine.
There will never be another zeppelin . One of a kind
I could be in the car listening casually to the radio and when a Led Zeppelin song comes on..I just focus and get my ears to listen. Most talented musicians
Yes!! Been requesting this for awhile.. I won't give up on the other 2 Led Zeppelin songs... "Gallows Pole" and "Braun-Y-R-Stomp" such fun songs!!
One of my favorites among many of their jamms! Hitting on all cylinders! Greatness 💯💯👍😎
Yes sir! Classic Led Zeppelin!! One of my favorite Zep tunes. Awesome!!
Bad ass song right there 🤘❤️ ball is screwing😂😂😂 in 70’s lingo
Hands down my favorite from them. Such an awesome vibe.

The song was released in '71 and got major radio airplay throughout the remainder of the '70s. It did not "take off" in the early '80s.

I had to watch this again for BJ. God bless my boy was feeling this.
I like when you guys listen to Zeppelin.. This is my favorite band !!
One of their best sings imo. It was released as the B side of Immigrant Song single, but was never on a studio album, just later compilations.
The shade in Asia's eyes at 2:07 - you two are great!
She did not approve no
My personal favorite track from them.
LZ played the blues in almost every song they wrote, just in different styles from around the world - Fool in the Rain is a shuffle beat, The Crunge is an homage to James Brown's funk, Dazed and Confused is a waltz macabre, Kashmir uses Islamic tonalities, Ramble On references Lord of the Rings, Friends has a decided Hindi sound -- and they played with time signatures all the time, really a most creative rock band
I’m still waiting to see you guys react to Zeppelin’s biggest influence - Robert Johnson.

One of my all-time favorite Led Zep songs. It didn't get a lot of airplay in the 1970: The topic was just too sensitive.
His basketball shot lol. Ball meant screw back in the day.
Ball still means that to this day my guy
I have A LOT of favorite Zeppelin songs, but this is definitely one of them... 🤙😎🎱🎱

Thanks for doing my favorite Zepplin song, Note this song is not on any LP only 45 RPM B-side of Immigrant song.
Darius Rucker from Hootie And The Blowfish covers this very well.
Love his country stuff
"ball" in the early-to-mid 20th century vernacular, was slang for sex
My favorite of all Zeppelin songs…
You know I love me some Led Zeppelin
This is my favorite Zepplin song.
When Robert Plant sings "I got a woman wanna to ball all day", he's NOT talking about hoops... .
The local radio station used to have DJ that had a get the Led out once a week were he’d play Zeppelin the whole show those were the dayz

7:12 Duane got it wrong. It is ball, which when this came out meant screw which means to have sex.
Ball means something else in this context. Something else..... ok?
Or in my case, a chapter from my misspent youth. Makes me smile now

"ball" in the '60s and '70s meant sex
