ZZ Top's "Pearl Necklace"

I like this song. It's so peppy and fun. It's off ZZ Top's Greatest Hits. Play this song to get your date in a romantic mood. Good advice from the good Dr. Kelly.



Lyrics by ZZ Top

She's really upset with me again,
I didn't give her what she likes.
I don't know what to tell her,
Don't know what to say.
Everything got funky last night.

She was really bombed,
And I was really blown away,
Until I asked her what she wanted,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

She gets a charge out of bein' so weird,
Digs gettin' downright strange.
But I can keep a handle on anything,
Just this side of deranged.

She was gettin' bombed,
And I was gettin' blown away,
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush.
And that's not true what she's talkin' about,
It really don't cost that much.

She was gettin' bombed,
And I was gettin' blown away,
And she took it in her hand,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

  2. ZZ Top are awesome and all but when it comes to sweet romance, you just can't beat "Saddam-A-Go-Go" by GWAR.

    Sir Tom Eagerly, says:
    I suppose I'm right in thinking Kelly that a'Pearl Necklace' is still the same euphemism that it was when Sir Tom was merely Young Master Tom of Eagerly Manor.
    Examination of the lyrics leads one to think it is!
    "And she held it in her hand", indeed!
    Cheers old boy.

  4. I don't get it, these lyrics are too dense!!! What was she holding in her hand? What does a pearl necklace symbolize? It's all too esoteric.

  9. WTF ? I tried to comment and I got this message, 'service unavailable'. Bastards!
    So here goes, again!
    Ah yes, 'Zee Zee Top'. Did you know there is a British tribute band named, 'Zed Zed Top'?
    I do like to listen to a bit of ZZ Top. I bet you're a sharp dressed man, eh Kelly?
    Have a good weekend, friend.
    Gary :)

  11. El Gavino- lol... 'Saddam-A-Go-Go'? I have heard of Gwar and listened to Gwar before but I don't recall that song. I'll check it out. It sounds romantic as hell.

  12. The Angry Lurker- Yes, they are. They have put out some great tunes.

  13. Sir Tom Eagerly- You're correct about your assumption about the meaning of 'Pearl Necklace'. I can just imagine the twisted, depraved antics you got into as a young Master of Eagerly Manor.

    and yeah, 'she held it in her hand'. And then it spit onto her chest, thus giving her the much ballyhooed pearl necklace. Good day to you, Sir Tom. And behave!

  14. Pickleope- I know, Pickleope. The lyrics are so completely complicated and stuff. We're looking at and hearing some very deep metaphysical material here. What wisdom can we gain from this tune? Let us dwell upon this as we also explore the deep inner meanings to "Zookeeper" w/Kevin James and other amazing movies of the day.

  15. billy pilgrim- That must have been fun, explaining that to your son. How old was he at the time? Did you use crayons and paper to give the proper visuals?

  16. Lost.in.Idaho- I believe every girl should be given the priceless gift of dearest affection know as the Pearl Necklace. I think it's every girl's dream, isn't it? Wouldn't that be cool to be paid in gum, only. I wish they would pay me in ear wax. If you suddenly turned into a wiener, I would put you on my grill and eat you, after turning you over 2 and half times. I say that, you know, with respect.

  17. Mrs. Pickle- Thank you. Music is a big deal with me. Take care and have a great weekend!

  18. bazza- glad you like, my friend. and yes, they do look like rabbis on speed. They're just friggin' cool like that. Have a dandy weekend, Bazza!

  19. klahanie- Having trouble with good ol' blogger again? Ah, those guys that run this outfit give me a headache, too, at times.

    No, I didn't know about that particular tribute band. I know of plenty of tribute bands to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, KISS and others. But a tribute band to ZZ Top? Nope. I'll check 'em out.

    Glad to hear you and I have the same taste in music on this one. It wouldn't be the first time. I know you and I like a lot of the same bands. And yes, because I am such a sharp dressed man, I have to fight the ladies off with my super duper 'pearl necklace' juice from my nifty willy nilly. Amazed? You shouldn't be.

    Thanks for wishing me a good weekend, dude. I wish you the same.
