Sesame Street - ZZ Blues

[crowblackchickenband]

Going Zinny with the ZZ Blues. I love this song.

[DaveWollenberg]

Good caricatures of Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill!

[Imtheguyinthemask]

That sketch creeped me out a little, as a child. But it still didn't scare me, both either me as a child and myself all grown-up.

[gg11708mi]

Sesame Street was a favorite when I was raising my daughter.  Since ZZ Top was a favorite and fellow Texas band, this song is one of my favorites.

[harajukubeta]

[hell5309]

@taijuando Dr. Demento gets the existential blues when he does cocaine.

[coyote374]

I would have love to see them do a q or x or u song like this. And yes I can think of animals for all those letters.

[coyote374]

There are other animals that start with z. Some have zebra in their name, But there are some that don't dand still start with z. No one told them I guess.

[wyecee]

It's true "There ain't enough Z words".

[hell5309]

@wyecee You need to crack Webster's if you think that.

[wyecee]

@hell5309 A little more Z words than X.

[hell5309]

@wyecee Well, there's more than a handful of Z-words.

[wyecee]

@hell5309 I know but for kids "Once you've shown them zebra, zither, zippers and zoos, you're almost outta Z words got the ZZ blues".

[climbsolo]

thatz awezome! Z (or Zed) is definitely my favorite letter.

[Chel093086]

[Focusakker]

You guys, I hate to be a suspicious Aloysius on you, but ZZ Top singer Billy Guilford is now an ordained minister.

[sanjurt]

No, no, no. They may look like ZZ top, but this is a parody of ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" using ZZ Topish Muppets.

[WildHoneyPie4]

Reason 55,555: There has been a parody of Sharp Dressed Man.

[ruwise2]

"ZZ Blues" is a parody of "Sharp Dressed Man".

[teenangel93]

I've remembered this one as a kid. Thanks.

[CourageBagge]

Oh, how I've missed this bit! I remember it well from when I was a little guy.

[bboytramp]

Sounds like Floyd Pepper!

[jahmums]

[b3d]

The Lead Singer sounds like Floyd Pepper!

[wattamack4]

Well they're both done by Jerry Nelson.

[b3d]

I knew that.

[teenangel93]

And the lead singer reminds me of Floyd Pepper from his woodstock look.

[efil4own1]

I think he's Floyd's hairier brother. :)

[teenangel93]

Yep. A sesame Street version of Floyd Pepper!

[joeywomer]

@b3d because this song was actually written by ZZ Top.

[ruwise2]

Over the Top was a parody of ZZ Top.

[tpirman1982]
