Black Dog
A kick-ass song by Led Zeppelin that famously starts off with the lyrics "Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move // Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove!" sung in acappella by Robert Plant, just before Pagey and Bonzo kick it into high gear with the lead guitar and drums, respectively.
The song supposedly got its name from a stray black dog that kept walking in and out of the studio while the song was being recorded.

black dog
Song by Led Zeppelin that rocks. However, it never once mentions "black dog". Probably named so because of the afore-mentioned definition. So I guess it makes you feel like that. Or because Robert Plant was on crack. That crazy bastard.

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
