What is the origin of ASTB name?

I am reminded of a led zepplin song where
the line "anyone seen the confounded bridge"
is uttered. The chords, build and general funk
seem compatible with the DMB musical-hyphen ASTB.

I can't remember the album or the song name,
but it might be on houses of the holy.

Any thoughts?

I know of no Dave lyrics that say 'has anyone seen the bridge' - but obviously- part of a song can be called a bridge- spans between two parts of a song... on that premise- it could have been... 'anyoneseenthechorus' but that would have been quite lame. plus- antsmarching was already taken :)

Sorry, i should have been more specific.
The lyric "anyone seen that confounded bridge"
is in the Led Zep song, not the DMB one.

I will try to hunt down the real name of the
song I'm trying to figure out... SOrry for
the low signal to noise ratio.

the led zeppelin song is called "the crunge," and its basically led zep's version of a james brown-type song... if you have how the west was won cd it is actually played (without lyrics) during the 25 minute dazed and confused. it ends abruptly with them saying "wheres that confounded bridge?" and alledgedly a member of the crew related astb to the crunge, hence its name

"wheres that confounded bridge" On another note, in the movie "almost famous" there is a scene where this kid has a shirt on that says "Anyone seen the bridge?" on the back. So that's definitely in reference to the Zep song.
