A BUSTLE IN YOUR HEDGEROW 

Share definition Flag
"A bustle in your hedgerow," the enigmatic line in Led Zep's "Stairway To Heaven" classic, has mystified music mavens for decades. Hopefully, the following will sprinkle a scintilla of elucidation and edification upon this cryptic conundrum.

A hedgerow is a hedge that surrounds many estates in Britain.

Bustle, or noise or activity, used in this sense, means a disturbance close to home. Something's happening in your world!

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen.

Spring cleaning is an old domestic ritual cleaning meant to do away with the troubles of the past year and prepare for the coming year, and often includes disposing of old, useless things that have been lying around.

The May Queen was a maiden chosen by a village to represent the hopes and potential for the coming year. She was a symbol of beauty, spring and new beginnings.

So here, as an analogy, the lyric refers to getting rid of old and outdated systems in order to allow progress to occur.

OR it can refer to menarche, or the first menstrual cycle, signifying that a girl is coming of age.

OR, it could mean that you have a fuckin' bee in your bonnet!
No example needed.

BUSTY GLORY 

Share definition Flag
Refers to the breasts/cleavage of Mia Fey, a character from the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series.

Origin:
On the GameFAQs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations board, user Parakarry101 created a topic in which he imagined Phoenix asking Mia what it was like to be dead, an opportunity that was "RIGHT there in it's busty glory." (Mia is dead but is periodically channeled by her sister Maya and cousin Pearl, who are spirit mediums. Their clothes are too small for Mia, so Mia ends up showing her cleavage whenever she is channeled.) Many posters started posting "BUSTY GLORY" in capital, usually bold letters, which lead to the "BUSTY GLORY" fad.
Pearl's robes are too small to accomodate Mia's BUSTY GLORY.
