Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones, who is credited with writing the main riff, got the idea for "Black Dog" after hearing Muddy Waters' experimental psychedelic-blues album, Electric Mud. He wanted to try "electric blues with a rolling bass part." The start-and-stop a cappella verses were inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 1969 song "Oh Well."

Wow, I just assumed the song was a rehash of an old Carpenter's wedding song.
