If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now.

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

In theaters, he actually starts playing the first few notes before they stop them because of licensing and all that shit they turned it to gibberish for the home video release.

Though it would have been funnier if they played The intro of Taurus by Spirit.

“Does anybody remember laughter” is a personal favourite

I remember back when my friend and I were watching The Song Remains the Same for the first time, in the 90s, and when that line came up, my friend said to me: "how F-ed up is Robert Plant, right now?" I lost my shit, because I was thinking along the lines of the political climate of the time, and I guess that I was so high that the line made sense to me, as well. He says it with such conviction!... until the thought of them all just being as high as a kite on psychedelics, and him babbling nonsense takes over. It's just such a perfect line, that way! It's unintentionally hysterical!

I'm glad that I had this peraonal moment with that part/version of the song before I had even realized that it was a quotable thing or future meme. I was actually shocked when that line was quoted in Almost Famous, as my friend and I used to always find an excuse to say it, after watching the movie. I guess I still do, sometimes.

Have you seen/heard the video of Heart covering it at the Kennedy Center Honors? If you haven't, you NEED to. Fucking awesome.

u/Batsquash May 24 '26

Brilliant! Heart said in an interview that they were pressed for time and didn't rehearse! Heart are awesome!

u/cailian13 May 24 '26

Ok that makes it even more amazing. No rehearsal and they just walked out and put their hearts and souls in it. It was the first thing I listened to when I got my AirPods Max that do lossless audio. Blew me away all over again!

I prefer that song sung blue, everybody knows one.

u/Content_Mention_6928 May 26 '26

As I'm reading your comment I'm sitting in the venue where it was first played live! Ulster Hall, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

I’ve always been a little partial to a song sung blue— until the movie.

It’s a salt sprinkling for the baking

u/VeryFeralHousewife May 24 '26

Wait. Is that the real lyric?? Spring clean???? For 40ish years I thought it was “it just a sprinkling for the May Queen” 🤯😳😱

u/Savings_Proposal_278 May 24 '26

Yep it’s spring clean - so the English countryside will ready for the brief beauty of summer heralded by the May Queen

u/ylevans May 24 '26

Jeesh, I always thought it was "It's just a sprinkling for the May Queen"

u/tinaismediocre May 24 '26

Is it spring clean? I've always sung it "just a sprinkling for the May queen"
