0:37.0	I'm Jim DeRugatus and I'm Greg Kott, but first we share some of our favorite songs about the sea.
1:00.0	This week we're taking our show out of the harbor to share some of our favorite songs about oceans, lakes, rivers, seas, all that wet stuff and the different ways they've inspired musicians.
1:11.0	It's a great time of year to go out on a boat, so these are our song selections to accompany those trips, although Greg, you don't like boats, do you?
1:21.0	Well, you know, when I wear the patch, I'm good, so I can handle the boats on that front, but yeah, you know, but I have this love-hate affair with the ocean, with the high seas, with being out on big bodies of water, but I am fascinated by all the songs that have been written about that experience and we're going to dive deep into some of the great songs in that genre.
1:41.0	Jim, you're going to start a song, right?
1:43.0	Jim, Greg, you know, my choices are kind of obvious, but it's the summer I want you to put this on the boom box while you're grilling in the backyard or better yet when you're on the boat.
1:52.0	We've got to have a Led Zeppelin song, the ocean.

2:03.0	I mean, that riff is killer, bottom's playing as always is great.
2:08.0	And when I go back to the early Robert Plant vocals, it's just amazing how silly these lyrics were sitting in the sunshine, laughing in the rain, hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain.
2:22.0	Oh my god, I know he's embarrassed by those now, but they have a certain, you know, incredible joy of a dopey 21-year-old.
2:31.0	And what the ocean is actually about is him standing on these stages and looking out at 30,000 heads, a sea of people waving at him and adoring him because he was the golden god, right?
2:44.0	So the ocean is the people, but the ocean is also the sea.
2:48.0	Led Zeppelin, the ocean on sound opinion.
