Word of the day:

"Frumunda-cheez"

Answer 1

from what I gather, it's about the mythical "Middle Earth" of lore

Answer 2

What Misty Mountain Top appears to be about is Robert being a young and relatively naive lad from England, coming to the U.S. during the sixties and seeing the flower power hippies.... People in the park with flowers in their hair.... Do you wanna score? Girls, Drugs, Love, Freedom... the whole ball of wax. Quite an eye opener I suspect. It is a reoccurring theme in many of Robert Plants vocals... the fascination with California and the U.S. Great tune...
