There are a few JB tunes where James exhorts the band to "take it to the bridge" musically speaking. I realize that you were joking in the rest of the post, but if you meant this part, I disagree. It's Plant deliberately lowering his voice. Steve Kilpatrick. The song "The Crunge" is a tounge-in-cheek song, poking fun at James Brown. Yes, in Sex Machine, he said "take it to the bridge.
