The Zoso one and the feather in the circle are copyrighted.  The only
reason I know this is because a friend of mine had a four-symbols birthday
cake and the person who put them on the cake said they were copyrighted.
The baker also said to be sure everyone was informed they did not charge
for putting the symbols on the cake.  So here you go: they did not charge
for putting the symbols on the cake.

Yes, to "Bob."  ;-)

Last night I was thumbing through some books about misheard lyrics; there's
three (so far) in the series.  The person who collected them all had people
e-mail him or write with examples, and then put them in book form.  A lot
of them were hysterically funny, and with some, I thought maybe people
hadn't really misheard them that way, but just wanted to get into the
books.  But who cares; they were funny anyway.

Here are the Zep-related ones (I think you'll be able to tell what songs
they came from and hopefully what the original lyrics were):

First from the Yardbirds:

"Foyer love"

"They drank cappuccino all night long"

And now the Zeppelin ones:

"There's a feeling I get when I look at my waist"

"If there's a busload in your headrow, don't be a lawman"

"It's just the sprinkles for the bakery" 

"And there's a wino down the road/ I should've stolen Oreos"

"Hey hey baby when you walk that way/ Got a hunting trip, can't keep away"

"You need Kool-Aid, baby I'm not foolin' "

"I got my flower, I got my power/ I got a Roman nose"

"Olive my love, Olive my love"

"With a purple operator and fifty cent hair"

"Living, loving/ She's just a walrus"

Koo-koo-ka-choob,
Ana
