WSJ.com – Rock’s Oldest Joke: Yelling ‘Freebird!’ In a Crowded Theater

And it has spread beyond music, prompting the Chicago White Sox organist to add the song to her repertoire and inspiring a greeting card in which a drunk holding a lighter hollers “Freebird!” at wedding musicians.“
Freebird is fine, but I’ve always preferred yelling “Zepellin” myself:)
