Anything from the ZZ top. Well, you can't do that. You have to pick one song.

0:18.4

Okay. Shark wristband. Great choice. There's not a bad choice. I go over the green.

0:23.5

0:29.8

Love to tell you that we all discovered ZZ top too late because ZZ top the best of ZZ top

0:36.4

is before the rest before the pop culture world knew him. The reality is when you say ZZ top
