The lyrics to Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" are sexual in nature and about fulfilling the singer's desire to give someone their love. The opening lines of "You need cooling, Baby, I'm not fooling, I'm gonna send ya back to schooling" imply that the person being sung to is not experienced enough in the ways of love and needs some guidance from the singer. The repeated phrase "Want a whole lotta love" further emphasizes the singer's desire for an intense, fulfilling sexual experience.
The later lines suggest that the singer has been waiting a long time for this experience, with "All them good times baby, baby, I've been yea-yearning" and "All the good times, baby, I've been misusing." The line "I wanna be your backdoor man" also hints at the taboo nature of their relationship. The song is filled with sexual innuendos and a pounding rock beat, making it a classic of Led Zeppelin's oeuvre.

Beth Hart is incredible what a voice the girl can sing anything
@mariobozzini3406
Sicuramente una delle voci femminili più grandi di sempre, ma anche il chitarrista non è da meno ❤❤❤👏👏👏
@Stifsim6
I saw her at Lollapalooza (Kansas City) in 1996, and she shut down the main stage from the second!! Possibly one of the best female vocalists EVER.
@1959yankeefan
Why don't people talk about her? She's an insanely gifted vocalist. Amazing talent.
@inlakesh555
That's why people don't talk about her, as sad as it IS.
@bobbyelliott1911
A truly spectacular performance from them all Beth is a true artist
@tamstrz4427
I absolutely love this woman's voice! Haven't heard about her in years, hate to say I forgot about her for a while. Just saw that she played on Slash's album... now I'm all up on it. Unbelievable talent! And Slash... he' gets better every year. Slash + Hart = unfuckingbelievable!!
