Led Zeppelin - Hey Hey What Can I Do
Until it was released on Led Zeppelin's boxed set in 1990, this could only be found in America on the B-side of "Immigrant Song" and in England on an Atlantic Records record sampler. It's scarcity added to its appeal and helped keep the song on classic rock playlists for many years.
This song was recorded with the intention of releasing it as a single. This was odd because Zeppelin put out very few singles in order to put a premium on albums.
Led Zeppelin never played this song live, although Jimmy Page and Robert Plant played it on their 1995 tour.
Hootie & the Blowfish recorded this for the 1995 Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium. We know what you're thinking: How can this happen? Well, the album was organized by Led Zeppelin's label Atlantic Records, and guess who ended up with the best-selling album in the history of that label? Yep, Hootie & the Blowfish's debut album Cracked Rear View sold over 16 million copies.
