"I`m Gonna Crawl" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through The Out Door. It was composed by John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. It was influenced by the American 1960s soul-blues of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. The song tells of a girl that "drives me crazy... she's the apple of my eye. I love the lady. I got to be her fool." John Bonham noted this as one of Robert Plant's best vocal performances.
[edit] Trivia
- This was the last song on the last album before drummer John Bonham's death. Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones wrote most of it.
- Soul singer Wilson Pickett's music was the inspiration for this.
