Misty Mountain Hop is a song from English rock band Led Zeppelin Officials untitled fourth album, released in 1971. In the United States and Australia it was the B-side of the Black Dog single, but still received considerable FM radio airplay. It was recorded at Headley Grange, a mansion with a recording studio in Hampshire, England, where the band sometimes lived. The most common interpretation of the songs title involves a reference to the Misty Mountains in J. R. R. Tolkiens The Hobbit. The lyrics refer to the events of the 7 July 1968 Legalize Pot Rally in Hyde Park, London, in which police made arrests for marijuana possession. References to the work of Tolkien also exist in other Led Zeppelin songs, such as The Battle of Evermore, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and Ramble On.
