Hate to "rain on your parade" AFellowhutchin, but Zeppelin spent plenty of time in whore houses. They were incredible artists (the best of the lot in my opinion) but they weren't exactly Sunday School types and not much of a "role model." So don't go worshiping at the idol of Plant/Page ;-).

I think this song is just about a girl that plant was in love with. It talks about how much he loves her in the beginning, so i dont think it could be about a hooker. I think he refers to her as his "street corner girl" because she wasnt true to him and thats what he thinks of her as. I think the line... "in the evening when the sun is sinkin low and everybody's with the one they love, i walk the town, keep searchin all around, lookin for my street corner girl".... is a representation of his lonliness and how he misses the girl he used to have. could be wrong.... one of their best, most catchy songs though.... gotta love it!!

this song, to me, is about a man who is in love with a hooker or a slut, but the woman won't love him back. So the man debates throughout the song whether or not to move on and find a new love, or stay and try to make the woman love him. In the end, he decides that there's nothing he can do, so he will move on. This may be one of my favorite songs. It is a woven piece of music that just flows along for the longest time. Plants vocals bring the sound in this song into the realm of perfection. This is one of the rarest zep songs there is because it isn't recorded on any of their albums. It was only released as a B side to the Immigrant Song single, and was only just re-released on the box set, which costs a WHOLE lotta money. Atlantic finally put that single back on the market and ive found it on Amazon.com for like five bucks. Just for your information. When I first heard this song, the only phrase that stuck in my head was, "Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love." One of the best sung lyrics ever.

this song is awesome...the whole first stanza is beautifully written. it's about a hooker or prostitute, since "when the sun is sinking low"..."looking for my street corner girl" obviously means he's looking for a prostitute at night. anyways, my favorite line is "in the bars with the men who play guitars"...im not sure why, but i like the way it flows...
