Pronounced "Jamaica" - notice the reggae flavor (well as reggae sounding as Led Zeppelin could achieve) of the song. I believe it's also used in an old British joke -- Person 1: My wife and I just got back from a vacation to an island in the Caribbean. Person 2: Jamaica? (sounds like D'yer Maker - i.e., did you make her?) Person 1: No, she wanted to go. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.
