Subject: TAB: "Burger Man" by ZZ Top
here is a really fun song by ZZ Top. The lead guitars are great.
Incidentally, this song has a really cool video that is as funny as the
song's lyrics. Anybody else seen it?

(Did you want double meat, how bout some fries on the side?) Do four measures
of that same palm muting you did between verse 1 and 2 during this spoken
part
(Then do verse 3, same music as 1 and 2)
Once you try my burger baby, youll grow a new thyroid gland.
I said just eat my burger baby, make you smart as Charlie Chan

| I've wondered for some time exactly what this was about. The sex analogy makes sense, since after all, this IS a ZZ Top song. Regardless of what the lyrics are about, I think we can all agree that the musical accompaniment is just fantastic. | |
