"Boogie with Stu" is a song by English Hard rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. It was a jam recorded in 1971 at Headley Grange, where the band had done most of the recording for their fourth album. They were using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, along with which came Rolling Stones' road manager and piano player, Ian Stewart, who ended up jamming with the band on piano.^[1] The working title for this song was "Sloppy Drunk", a title that vocalist Robert Plant came up with.^[1]

It has been reported that Plant played guitar on the track (with Jimmy Page playing mandolin)^[2]. The slapping guitar came from an overdub session with an ARP guitar synth.^[1]

The final product was a song which was based around Ritchie Valens' "Ooh, My Head."^[1] Instead of crediting Valens as writer or co-writer, the song was credited to "Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart". Explained Jimmy Page:

What we tried to do was give Ritchie's mother credit, because we heard she never received any royalties from any of her son's hits, and Robert did lean on that lyric a bit. So what happens? They tried to sue us for all of the song!.^[3]

It should be noted that Valens' song itself borrowed heavily from Little Richard's "Ooh, My Soul." Led Zeppelin eventually came to a settlement agreement with Valens' publishers, although it is not publicly known if his mother received any of that money.

This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.^[1]
