It sounds like Vogon Poetry.

Is that why I now have a splitting headache and want to poke my eardrums out with an ice pick? ;^)
I really wish I could find someone that could or would record it. Unfortunately I have a face for radio and a voice for print.

Nothing is that bad.
Except, of course, "Ode To Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning".

I can tell you this- It ain’t “Custard Pie”.
First, this is my first post here, thanks. Been reading for about a decade.
I know the cartoon clearly directs you towards Led Zeppelin, but for some reason the lyrics are making me think Yes. I am racking my brain trying to figure out which song...just can’t quite place it.
If we saw the actual article it might give some context to the joke. Maybe the joke is about confusing song lyrics attributed to the wrong band.
Robert Plant
Jimmy Page

In before Zep haters blam
Maybe “Hey Hey What Can I Do?”:
“I got a woman, wanna ball all day...”
Obscure anecdote... when the Yardbirds folded, Keith Moon (the Who) was hanging out with Jimmy Page and needled him a bit, saying, “the Yardbirds went over like a lead balloon” (they were around for seven years, had Clapton, Beck, and Page in succession, and for a brief time Beck and Page together, but anyway...). The first spinoff was dubbed “The New Yardbirds” (passed up a chance to own a copy, but the seller wanted $300, otoh he threw in a CD burned from the vinyl), they got sued, renamed themselves Led Zepplin, and went back into the studio to re-record at least some of the material from TNY. :’)
Good catch, I agree with Fred.
If you read those lyrics backwards, it sounds vaguely like a Satanic chant.
Perhaps NewJerseyJoe could tell us how he found it?
I did find a way (which was indirect) to track down the page, and I was just spending some time looking to see if the site is on a banned list. Since it's apparently not, here's the page:
5 Famous Songs That Prove Musicians Don't Understand Science
No, Led Zeppelin isn't one of the five artists mentioned. The cartoon is simply at the very end, after the last line "And that's why scientists aren't songwriters," and I see no further explanation here for the details of this cartoon, such as why it at least appears to be a parody of Led Zeppelin. There are nearly 2,000 comments; I'm not going to read through all of them right now.
Since this cartoon looks to me to be in the same art style as the cartoons illustrating the five examples, and it doesn't seem to be from a older source, I'm guessing that it was produced for the sake of this piece. I was wondering if it came from an older source and partially inspired this piece, but then it would probably be more famous.
Since we now have the article, I was eyeing some of the previous examples, such as #5 and #3 given on the first page. #5 is "Eagle's calling and it's calling your name / Tides are turning, bringing winds of change" ("'Promise of a New Day' by Paula Abdul"), and #3 is "It's that pivotal moment, it's a feeling like this / It's centrifugal motion, it's perpetual bliss" ("'This Kiss' by Faith Hill").
I think whoever made the cartoon was born in the 1990s, and is generally clueless about Led Zeppelin song lyrics.
May possibly be the very worst Zep song EVER
