The Yardbirds vs. Led Zeppelin



I’m Confused (Dazed and Confused)
The Yardbirds
I’m dazed and confused
Is it stay
Is it go
Give me a clue
‘Cause I just want to know
Give me a clue
As to where I am at
Feel like a mouse
And you act like a cat

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I’m dazed and confused
Tryin’ to hang on by a thread
I’ve been abused
I’d be better off dead
Can’t stand the heat
And I’m starting to crack
If you’re out to get me
You’re on the right track

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

I’m dazed and confused
Is it stay
Is it go
I still love you
But I still want to know
Secrets are fun
To a certain degree
This one’s no fun
‘Cause the secret’s on me

Yeah
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Yeah yeah
Hey

Ooooooh
Yeah
Oooooh
Aaaaah

I’m dazed and confused
Is it stay
Is it go
I’ve been abused
And I sure wanna know
Give me a clue
As to where I am at
Feel like a mouse
And you act like a cat

Yeah
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey




Dazed and Confused
Led Zeppelin
Been dazed and confused
For so long it’s not true
I wanted a woman
Never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin’
Few of them know
Soul of woman
Was created below
Yeah

You hurt and abuse
Tellin’ all of your lies
Run around sweet baby
Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby
I don’t know where you been
Gonna love you baby
Here I come again

Every day I work so hard
Bringin’ home my hard-earned pay
I try to love you baby
But you push me away
Don’t know where you’re goin’
Only know just where you’ve been
Sweet little baby
I want you again

Oh yeah
All right
All right

Been dazed and confused
For so long it’s not true
Wanted a woman
Never bargained for you
Take it easy baby
Let them say what they will
Tongues wag so much
When I send you to Hell

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Well, I don't really care for either version, but Led Zeppelin's is certainly better than The Yardbird's spoken word rendition to me.

  4. I actually don't care for these songs, but I do like Led Zeppelin better for this one. Do you ever wonder what music would be like without drugs and alcohol? Happy Thanksgiving.

  5. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Jackie!!! I hope your husband got to be there. We're getting freezing rain mixed with sleet here right now.

  6. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! Well, when it comes to both versions of this song, I would think that greats amounts of both were involved in every aspect. Nonetheless, it is perfect for showing the differences between the two bands.

  7. Tough call, I'm leaning slightly to the Zep.

  9. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Alay!!! I am a big fan of Led Zeppelin, but "Dazed and Confused" is not one of my favorites. Their version is still better than The Yardbirds' one.

  10. Both groups have been a major influence in today's music, good old Jimmy.

  11. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Bob!!! The rock that I have spent much of life under must have been a lot bigger than I had previously realized. For I don't recall ever hearing anything about his bow-guitar technique until researching this song.
