I've never understood the dislike for "D'yer Ma'ker" -- it's catchy as hell.

I first heard this song as a kid on our local classic rock station that my mom would often listen to as she would run errands all over town. I’ve always been a fan. Easy vote for me.

I've been hearing this song since I was a child too but I had no idea what it was called. I like it better the other one so +1.

Imagine my surprise when, somewhere in my mid 20s, I learned that "D'yer Maker" was a casual way to say "Did you make her?" Which sounds nothing like the "die-er maker" title the jabronis north of Boston were using about during my teens.

I thought it was a way of saying "Jamaica?"

I had not heard this but I am open to it. Either way those Sicilian knuckleheads that used to casually call me a fag were way off base on this one.

Plant said it was the way it sounds to us Yanks when Brits say Jamaica.

From the Wikipedia entry on the song:

Quote:
The name of the song is derived from an old joke, where two friends have the following exchange:

"My wife's gone to the West Indies."

"Jamaica?" (which sounds like "Did you make her?")

"No, she wanted to go".

Ah! So we were both sort of right.
