[@mikek5958]

I was twelve when I first heard "Pearl Necklace" and I, of course, thought it was about a woman wearing a pearl necklace. Then my older brother and his friends explained to me what it actually meant. I was never the same after that.

I live in Houston, Texas. Bred, born & raised! I'm proud to be a Texan & proud that these guys are from here. In fact my father & grandfather owned a shoe shop @ 1 time & made a custom pair of boots for Mr. Billy Gibbons himself. He even signed 1 of my dad's vinyls thanking him for the boots! Some of my best memories in my life are to their songs.

ZZ TOPS original band name were "The Zombies" until they got reminded that there was already a group with the same name. So they changed it to ZZ

[@peterblood50]

"I've got a girl who lives on the hill; she won't do it but her sister will." This was a line that every amateur band in America used whenever they could. It was as popular among us as "Squeeze my lemon baby, till the juice runs down my leg."

In an interview with the drummer ( Frank Beard ) he claimed to be up at night flicking through tv channels and found MTV . Excitedly he called Dusty and Billy and said we've got to get into this . Their next album Eliminator come out complete with video clips and the rest is history. So as far as I know there are no videos pryer to Eliminator . Except for live shows .

[@HardRockMaster7577]

I'd rather watch you review just the audio, even if you have a video, because it's what I remember the first time I listened to ZZ Top songs, the audio, and what images the audio itself conjured up. A "video" review is cool too, but for most songs, it's all about the music alone. This is because in the 70's, there were no "videos", and as a long time Rock listener, that's what I remember most.... just, the music man. The "MTV" generation and those that follow, have been indoctrinated into the visual, but, if a song can stand without a video, then it's something to reckon with.

There were songs back in the day that didn't have videos made for them. I suspect this was one of them. I couldn't find one for it, either, except for one the band made recently, just showing them playing the song. The line about, "I got a gal that lives on the hill. She won't do it, but her sister will..." was one that was easy for us to figure out. It's what you think it is. We didn't even need to hear the part about "do the tube snake boogie."

Their song Manic Mechanic from Dugello is probably their most experimental song the story goes Billy Gibbons was watching the Phil Donahue show and a guys voice and face were disguised and after pestering the shows producers they told him the device used to alter the voices and they used it in Manic Mechanic and IMHO is one of their most underrated and most bad ass ZZ Top songs please do a reaction to this one you WON'T be disappointed!

This “El Loco” album dropped in 1980 and was their last album before MTV hit. To my knowledge there are no videos from this album. Two other songs from this album, “Pearl Necklace” & “Party on the Patio” were popular. “Tube Snake boogie” is a great song that is held by bass and drums accented with some cool guitar work. As many commentators have said, you should really catch the Netflix ZZ Top documentary. Good review.

[@boriscat1999]

It's a old tradition to have a few dirty blues songs (Bo Carter in the 1930's has a bunch of them). The self-appointed moral authority used to shut blues clubs down in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's because of suggestive lyrics. I'm certain ZZ Top knew about all that and made a few suggestive songs of their own with a very bluesy sound.

[@charliehill5853]

No videos but some of the ZZ songs you’ve been listening too are digitally cleaned up or versions that they played with in studio. Ya gotta go to the original vinyl album to here the rawest versions of these songs. I love these guys as well but I started out on a six pack release back in the day and have heard the originals as well and there is a lot of subtle difference. Thanks for your videos as I have same love for music and lyrics as well!!!

[@TURBOMAGNUM]

In 1983 I was 10 years old. I was sitting on the stairs leading up to the second floor of our house listening to this song on my Walkman and singing along, out of the corner of my eye I see my dad at the bottom of the stairs so I stopped listening and he asks me do you know what that song is about I said no and he said if you don't know what it's about don't sing it and turned around and walked off! I of course knew what it meant even at 10 years old but I didn't want to get in trouble. My dad passed away in an accident five years later so this is a beautiful memory for me!
