 Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" was said to be written about Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's infatuation with Mitchell, a claim that seems to be borne out by the fact that, in live performances, Plant often says "Joni" after the line "To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings".Jimmy Page uses a double dropped D guitar tuning similar to the alternative tunings Mitchell uses.The Sonic Youth song "Hey Joni" is named for Mitchell.
