Xiu Xiu takes on ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” lowres reupload

here's another one of those cool av undercovers that's nearly lost to time, enjoy

[@dickdingus775]

Beyond the novelty of "lol xiu xiu covering zz top" this is a really exceptional cover, it recontextualizes the swaggering machismo of billy gibbons et al with this intense anxiety, like it's not some big dick alpha flex, but some neurotic dude trying to convince himself of his potency, brilliant stuff

[@huesos_azules]

xiu xiu top

[@spormlastname267]

A well written comment. You are like a music critic.

[@imposing-pointer-plaything]

Finally I get to hear Jamie over-enunciate "stick pin" again

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

Truly a missed opportunity that they didn't perform this in Twin Peaks The Return Thanks for saving this, I really thought this was lost forever

[@dayenknight8117]

I was thinking the same thing, this would’ve fit perfectly

[@oldmancolin]

Those of you uploading these nearly lost AV Club performances are truly doing the lord's work

[@lucastarg]

there was a comment on the original video that said that Jamie Stewart turned this song into one about a serial killer stalking his next prey. Amazing version!!!

[@expansivegymnast1020]

It really sounds like it though.

[@Bananajoe244]

I think it was something like "they took this song about a lady killer and turned it into a song about a lady killer"

[@fleurpvnk108]

was scared i'd never see this again. thanks a ton for the reupload. av club needs to stop deleting their videos

[@zaph9790]

thank you for this! one of my favorite covers ever and i’m really pissed they deleted it. i’m not the biggest xiu xiu fan but i love the energy they bring to this song

[@danielmills7606]

yee same!

[@fraseringermany]

I want to enjoy anything as much as she enjoys playing this song.

[@Cellsolid]

He cracks me up when he says "stick pin".

[@dylanmurray8881]

Best cover from a band that bangs out the best covers around.

[@aubreyxengland]

Dude’s singing sounds like he’s about to climax at any moment lmaoo

[@martincotadoteho3754]

[@chromecodec]

[@lukecockburn1140]

Unreal Absolutely riveting Seriously moving that was phenomenal

[@zsch999]

thanks for the upload! this was one of my favorites from that AVU season, I really miss the cloud nothings cover of clocks too, wish could find it again someday

[@jjohnson3469]

Cant say that they didn't make it their own. Great cover.

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

Shayna truly is an incredible drummer.

[@YodaZemunski]

Hell yeah new upload. I miss that comment where the guy talks about the daddest of dads. Can’t remember how it went but they do barbecues, talk about the good old days and rev their midlife crisis motorcycles. Made me laugh so hard

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

Alpha Dad, and the Ron Paul thing they added in their comment? They talked about seeing ZZ Top in the 80’s with Lesser Dad I think? It was quite humorous. Kudos to whomever originally posted it.

[@YodaZemunski]

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 The same one! It was magnificent

[@briancrawford8751]

I miss the one that went, "It's hard to sing when you're ejaculating."

[@debbycoley]

Definitely Black Lodge material.

[@philippetremblay906]

I wish I could smash through life like that drummer smashes her drums - cool as a cucumber.

[@nicholaswong955]

thank u sm for the upload

[@wondering-dd6rv]

very underrated band,went to see them in (warsaw) poland on 20/05/23.....

[@ozymandias5854]

[@pagumb]

Hopefully they'll do an album of covers someday.

[@zacharyreed2757]

Conor Oberst sounds great here

[@evilscientistrecords]
