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.PHATJ wrote: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.

Re: 42. D'yer Maker vs. Houses of the Holy
From the Wikipedia entry on the song:
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".
