ZZ Top-TV Dinners

[NickPeavey]

Yeah it´s fantastic!!!

You can watch my ZZ Top video, too!

[forgottenmaz]

I'm eating a tv dinner for supper right now :P

[ewonsnappea]

I wonder if this video is a warning about the preservatives found in most Frozen dinners?

[xerxes106]

ZZ Top made the greatest music videos

[unscrewthis1]

Mabe it's a through back to war of the worlds

at Grovers Mill NJ.

[IRONHORCEFREAK]

the vidio makes no sence at all but good song long live zz top

[Rovergbjy]

4 flat tyres on a muddy road..

[88mpny]

What makes no sense my friend is your spelling... damn, can anybody spell anymore? guess not. VIDEO SENSE. and by the way what video from the 80's DID make sense.

[IRONHORCEFREAK]

shut up im 13 i got bad spelling so what!!!!!

[88mpny]

so what? well then work on your spelling. when i was 13 i could spell video and sense. Im not trying to put you down, study and practice because you will be judged by your spelling when you become an adult.

[IRONHORCEFREAK]

shut up ive goten ab honners 4 years

[gamingguy90]

Ok, this has gone on long enough. Both of you have horrible spelling and grammar and neither appear particularly intelligent. Keep fighting if you want, it'll just make my point even more valid.

Oh, and 88mpny, sorry, I accidentally deleted one of your comments. It's not like it was saying anything worthwhile though, so I'm not that sad over it's loss. Something about how they should close IRONHORCEFREAK's school.

[chabelyk]

I love this song... It's so outrageous, it's awesome...

[mikesmustangs]

WOW, IT'S THE 80S AGAIN!!!!

[2connection1]

i just luv Billy Gibbons powerful guitar groove on this tune, especially after 3: 00 mark, the song is classic slow hard driving blues rock fusion

Gibbons is an amazing guitarist, so good

[rokinrandy]

I Wish !

[smackythefrog23]

well, sometimes, bands have to do things that they dont want to as a result of this thing called a record contract. label may have said that the recording process gets paused for nothing, since its been a few years since a NEW zz top album. you never know, they may have made a big donation in honor of the agreement to do the show.

[JollyRoger1969]

Tv dinners aren't that bad, but this is a great song/video :)

[Atomsmasher777]

ZZ Top canceled their Bridge-show charity show today, to write songs in L.A. with Rick Rubin and the Black Keys.

What Assholes!!!!!!!

[gamingguy90]

Hmm, that's certainly a dick move, but I don't think they're that mean. There's probably more to it or they had a good reason or something. From what I've seen, they're pretty cool guys.

[zakk4567]

i'm guessing the royalties for that charity will be x10 if they can write some riffs like this

[jsummerlin47]

I could care less about the song jezz let Master Billy Gibbons rock it!

[SDChargersForever]

Good song... but it makes me wonder, what on Earth inspired them to write it? Were they sitting around after eating some TV dinners and the idea hit them? Was somebody strolling through the market, saw the TV dinners section, and something in their mind just said "hey there's a song here."

[thatswierdlol]

lol it made them money, what does it matter ;p

[PlayHardGoProKay]

MUHAHA !!! WTF

[FeatherweightGiant]

He reminds me a bit of Jim Carrey.

[highres01]

Friday Night Videos on NBC in 1984.

[xterra43]

Love this song. Another sick riff from the coolest white rock in rock history, Billy G.

[westgoten]

That actor does look familiar. Cant place him tough. anyone else can ID him?

[totoledjay]

loooooooooooooooooooooooooool love the vid and there is no availlable hi-fi material to play that song loud enough! ZZ Top is the law!

[steve2275]

doctor wilson

[30millioncrabs]

I need 30,000 watts when I play this song.

[buddytink]

one of the most underrated songs in there career.the other would be thug

[mlev1991]

I KNOW! If it was my way Eliminator would have 5 #1 hits and this would be one of them. I only charted in the lower end of Mainstream rock and failed to chart anywhere else. Great song.

[spiritualstu]

10/10

[Squealer01]

sure brings back good memories of being 13 years old and taping this off the tommy vance radio show late at night. lol. Great stuff.

[hevyonez97]

the synthesizers in this track are just sick!!!! i love this song!! definitely should be played loud!!! if i were a dj in a strip joint, i'd have the dancers gettin' on down to this track!!!

[tom101764]

i learnt how to play the drums to this record i played along with it and several others ccr over and over untill i had it all the songs are fun for a drummer i like how frank uses the hi hat

[rambo483]

Love the bassline in this song.ZZ top rules.

[BlkSabbass]

Swanson must have been bullshit.

[Rimshot247]

Got to love it!..This was back when MTV was FUN to watch. ZZ Top is a class act...Their on tour again also.

[600SELV12]

Texas is a country within a country. Dont mess.

[dwcarkuff]

I still love these guys. Have been listening to their big compilation album recently. Some of the coolest rock blues licks ever recorded. For my money the funnest, coolest and rockinest band that ever was.

[tspop]

another classic from the kings of blues boogie thanks much for posting

[se8egrl]

when i was a kid back when this video first came out it gave me nightmares! and i still don't like it!

[zzfan1]

Talk about creepy, when the monster was discovered by the man, The crows behind my house made noise and when the monster's face was revealed, the crows crowed and flew away in the swirl formation. Scared me/

[phuckmerunnin06]

love this song. this and legs my favorite songs.

[helperout]

The Boy's from Texas are quite tallented , every album rocks , and they have been doing this for Decades . Rock On Man !!!

[NarSjelenHentes]

I fucking love this song!

[LordBenton08]

Eliminator is the best of those ZZ sytnth-albums. More dusty 'n rogh than burner and cycler. TV Dinners is one of my favorites on that record.

[thestinkyroar]

I remember this from a Rock 9 videos MV with this before S.W.A.T Came on RKO TV. Anyone remember??

[giantssuck8081]

oh my fucking god. could you possibly make a song that's any fucking dumber

[acdcztop]

fuck u motha fucka haha

[bbobby7inzzt69]

It was a top hit, & they made millions off it asshole! Could you make a comment that's any fucking dumber?!

[zzfan1]

Go get a life outside you mom's basement.

[inmate7525]

first zz top viedo i can remember watching. still love it.

[Fastboy007]

Reminds me of Friday Night Videos

[nursedun]

Now there's a blast from the past! We didn't have cable when I was a teenager in the 80's so I couldn't wait for Friday Night Videos to come on!

[Corpsemongrel]

why does he unzip his jacket ? lol oh well another great zz top song!

[ChronoLegionX]

Another classic from ZZ Top!

This one makes me think twice about what I put in the microwave...

[El135o]

Try singing "RAMEN NOODLES" instead of "TV Dinners" ... LMAO!

"I like 'em boiled, don't you understand?"

[El135o]

I like the chicken flavour

And the oriental too

I even like the mushroom

but the soup just comes out BLUE.

Urgghhh...

And they're mine, all mine!

And they shore are fahhhhnnnn

Hoo! Gotta have it!

Gimme some of it ....

[mmclaugh2]

I heard this song in a cab and fell in love. I like everything about this video.

[dirkeezy]

hhmmmm. that's odd. i dont remember buying a microwave where the door opens automatically, and i certainly dont remember an eerie green light coming out. oh well, no matter, i want that chicken!

[overlord1138]

And you're not suppose to put foil in the microwave! :O

[badderthanyou]

Another classic! Eliminator was a bountiful album.

[loudandlovnit]

a classic one of there best :):)

[qgjjhv]

Hahahah did you see the size of the remote control? hahaha Brings back memories ehhehe

[dwcarkuff]

You're a youngster. I grew up watching black and white on an 8 inch screen. Remotes are still high tech to me. So are phones with buttons instead of dials.

[ralphredimix]

I even like the chicken if the sauce is not TOO BLUE... OH YEEAAAUHH

[fixer74]

The guy sure looks like Jim Carrey.

[MicheleKS]

I never noticed that the tray he puts the dinner on is a Ouija board. Funny bit.

[suze816]

An old favorite of mine, this one....

I always imagine the tv dinner creature saying to the guy, "Don't run off !!...Was it something I said ?"

LOL

[dryapples]

ZZ Topp

Not just  Texas Rock and Roll

Its a Way of Life : O )

Love these GuyZZ Topp Group Ever!!!

[daveraden]

[Harlowfan2008]

I love this song!

[daveraden]

love the solo. zztop-the electicified blues. elmore james.

[TRG32301]

When you put foil in a microwave, shit happens.

[meddetect10]

Shouldn't eat those things anyway. This thing could have been put in at the factory!

[fallguye6011]

never blown microwave up?

[TiramisuHappy]

The guy kinda reminds me of young Neil Peart.

No?

[TiramisuHappy]

So when all of a sudden did it become dangerous to put an aluminum foil in the microwave? ; )

[mojobat]

since...always...shoots sparks, causes fire, that sort of thing...

[803T]

thats a goof, right there. lol

[olman99]

ZZ Top rules with this song. This is a great song along with "Dirty Dog" from Eliminator.

[pkjtay]

Gotta like it - "Even if the sauce is not too blue" oh yea!

[boleyner2]

Hey pkjtay - the line is "I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue.." :)

Keep rockin dude

[Jadip811]

Great song that never got much airplay.

Great album, this was a classic off Eliminator .

[DandBProductionsInc]

Man, I feel for you mrkrinkle72, those key chains were awesome. Sorry you lost yours.

Think I'll go into the kitchen now and "nuke" one of those Swanson TV dinners!

You never know when you "nuke" a TV dinner in the microwave.....lol

[dryapples]

Great Song thnkz for posting

If was allowed only one band

ever to hear again, Would be ZZ for Me!!!

[grippin762]

Ahh. The Rev. G. Tone, taste, and tenacity.

[humerus1987]

ZZ top rules...Great tune, great guitars, great riffs, great men!!!

[lenagiouridou]

[mrkrinkle72]

[chris6278]

groooooooovy

[ericlehto]

Diggidee swag man

[AshlieRed]

Great video, always loved it.

[cissyit]

I remember dancing to this song at a wedding reception in spring of '84. Good times!

[davrosbaby]

and they're mine all mine

and they sure are fine!

zz top, what happy memories, great days back then in '83

[briank06261973]

Probably my favorite ZZ Top tune of all time. I agree that it is too bad that this tune did not get any radio airplay.

[NarutoPaiva]

my first concert was zztop

[hopper433]

This tune always makes me happy!

To bad it never gets (or ever got) radio play.

[yabig103]

Not sausages but sauce, "...if the sauce is not too blue," as in chicken cordon bleu. This song pops into my head every now and then.

[larryluvewf]

With sausages not too blue??? What the fuck was zz top smoking when they made this song?? They look like 2 garbagemen hillbillies!! YEEEEHAHHHHH!!!!

[alfredmf]

cojonudoooooos! los zz top

[daveheffron]

Timothy Roberts, wherever you are, this ones for you!!

dave

[boogiebear925]

tv dinners are truly part of american culture.

love the us of the 80's!

[leshaunfossett]

True story: this video inspired my family to finally buy a mircowave oven back in the early 80s!

[PasadenaGuy]

I've always loved this song and video. Sometimes, even the obscure songs from a popular band rock just as hard as the ones on the radio. I was 6 years old when I first saw this video in 1983 and remember thinking that I wanted an arcade game in my room. I still have this album, "Eliminator," on cassette tape. Talk about old school.

[snikwad91]

Who cares about lyrics? It's ZZ Top...'nuff said.

[maggardsquatch]

why isnt dusty wearing sunglasses in this one?

[ryanspeed]

Made back when music videos used to be cool unlike the garbage we've got today! YEA, I SAID IT!

[brennalee]

So true! I used to watch this when mtv first came out! Love it then and love it now!

[cockmunkey]

prolly my favorite ZZ tune.loved the video wit the monster,cuz i was a lil kid.cult classic.

[mystree107]

I sing this song everytime I'm in the frozen foods section at the grocery store...

[ThatGuyWithTheHat]

This one didn't sell too well, to hear my dad tell it.

[OMGFY]

ha, what an awesome song, they just dont write songs like this anymore, ha ha

[Urvy1A]

AHH!!! Gremlin!

[xeokym]

man what quality lyrics. what drugs were they one when they wrote this one?
