Led Zeppelin Version
Led Zeppelin performed "Killing Floor" live in 1968 and 1969 and it became the basis for their "The Lemon Song". In some early performances Robert Plant introduced the song as "Killing Floor"; an early UK pressing of Led Zeppelin II showed the title as "Killing Floor" and was credited to Chester Burnett aka Howlin' Wolf. Led Zeppelin's version was performed at a much slower tempo (until the bridge) with some different lyrics. After legal action by Howlin' Wolf's publisher, his name was added to the credits for "The Lemon Song".
