Origins of Rock and Roll, by the almighty Led Zeppelin, According to guitarist Jimmy Page, 'Rock and Roll' developed from a spontaneous jam session that occurred after the band became frustrated while attempting to finish recording "Four Sticks" at the Headley Grange mansion they had rented in Hampshire, England. During a break, John Bonham began playing the drum intro to the 1957 song "Keep A-Knockin'" by Little Richard, to which Page added a Chuck Berry-style guitar riff. The rest of the band members reportedly joined in "one by one." Ian Stewart was also present at the session performing piano. Realizing the potential in the new idea, the band immediately put "Four Sticks" on the "back burner." The tapes were rolling, and after improvising the first section of the song, the basis of the rest of the song was completed in around fifteen minutes. Robert Plant wrote the lyrics, which were a response to critics who claimed their previous album, Led Zeppelin III, wasn't really rock and roll. Led Zeppelin III had more of an acoustic folk sound, and Plant wanted to prove they could still rock out. "We just thought rock and roll needed to be taken on again," he told Creem in 1988. "I was finally in a really successful band, and we felt it was time for actually kicking ass. It wasn't an intellectual thing, 'cause we didn't have time for that - we just wanted to let it all come flooding out. It was a very animal thing, a hellishly powerful thing, what we were doing." Initially, the band called the song "It's Been a Long Time'' but they eventually decided on 'Rock and Roll' which sounds way better and defines the genre with the song itself.

Jack Black and Lawrence jam out to “Touch Me” by The Doors during the film School of Rock. This is such a great scene and one of our favorites from this movie. This song, along with many of the other songs, were much easier to obtain and use for the film as opposed to one certain song. This song was “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin. This song took some serious perseverance to get for the movie as Led Zeppelin have been notoriously selective about licensing their songs in the past for films and television. Back in 2003, School of Rock star Jack Black recorded a heartfelt plea in front of a live audience where he begged Led Zeppelin to give its blessing. Calling them “the gods of rock” and “the greatest band of all time,” he told the musicians that “this is a movie about rock. And without that song, this movie will crumble into smithereens.” It worked, and the rights were granted. Black hasn’t been the only one who has stuck his neck out to get Zeppelin’s mythical music in their movies and even if you do get their blessing, the price tag usually comes in the 7 figure range. Another movie that was lucky enough to get Immigrant Song was “Thor: Ragnarok” and Disney wasn’t able to do this without digging deep into their pockets. According to sources, Disney paid anywhere from $1.4 million to $3 million for the song to be included in this movie. With amazing music, comes a hefty price tag. In the words of Jack Black, don’t ever be too proud to beg for something you truly want and need. Enjoy!
