Why no reference to Bo Diddley?

The song is in Bo Diddley beat, even though there is a third (lame) closing note in the second half, to throw us off the scent maybe.

Why no reference? Because what you say isn't true. Try and prove it - just like so many Led Zeppelin rip-off claims, what you're saying is simply unfounded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.79.114 (talk) 00:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone is claiming that it's a rip-off - the Bo Diddley beat is widely used, and certainly wasn't invented by Bo Diddley (see clave for more). Objectively, the main riff for this song is a slightly modified clave/Bo Diddley beat, and it would be worth mentioning this. I'll see if I can find a reference.

Custard Pie Melody

Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelins arrangement for this song is actually taken from (Smokey Robinson &) The Miracles 1963 "Mickey's Monkey" which peaked on the US R&B Billboards as a #1 hit

Bundled cite format/Writers

Wikipedia:CITE#Bundling_citations shows some examples of bundled citations. Each shows text to the right of the "ʌ". Otherwise, it will appear as a blank line, which is inconsistent with the rest of the citations. Bulleted text is typically preceded by an introductory phrase. Therefore, the genre was given that the bulleted references applied to. The citation was changed from:
ʌ

abc123
def456

to make it consistent with the others:
ʌ Hard rock:

abc123
def456

Template:Infobox single#Parameters gives instructions for infobox fields. Under "Writer" it says: "This field allows display of the song's writer(s). Separate multiple values using [template] Flatlist." The writers were listed as "Page/Plant". Therefore, this was changed using their full names to the flatlist template.

If there is a problem with following these procedures, take it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs or Template talk:Infobox single, not here.
