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
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!!!
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
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
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.
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
