Z Z Top, "La Grange"
Misheard Lyrics:
(This is in a motorcycle commercial now) It starts with a pretty simple, but cool and jazzy, low bass riff:
Badda Ba Ba Ba Ba
BADDA BA Badda Ba Ba Ba Ba
(this bass riff continues through unintelligible lyrics)
Whattadabeseetye
Insuchatreeseedye
Whena due sue whya thea
(Three more lines of similar "lyrics," and then, a *single* recognizable line)
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Badda Ba Ba Ba Ba
BADDA BA Badda Ba Ba Ba Ba
(this bass riff continues through unintelligible lyrics)
Whattadabeseetye

(Three more lines of similar "lyrics," and then, a *single* recognizable line)
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Original Lyrics:
Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'Bout that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls ah.
Have mercy.
A pow, pow, pow, pow, a pow.
A pow, pow, pow.
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
But now I might be mistaken.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Ah have mercy.
'Bout that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls ah.
Have mercy.
A pow, pow, pow, pow, a pow.
A pow, pow, pow.
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
But now I might be mistaken.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Ah have mercy.
