It would be Tush instead of 'Touch'
It sounds like Touch. I always thought it was Touch.

I think you underestimate the importance of "Pearl Necklace"
lol, i was about to plead ignorance because I actually didn't know the lyrics to the song you mentioned. But then I looked them up and realized you were being facetious. I've since linked to a few other ZZTop choice lyrical wonders.... "Party on the Patio", "Ten Foot Pole", "Groovy Little Hippy Pad"...

Okay, when this is all done can we have a Tourney for absolute most inane lyrics imaginable? I think we have a #1 seed here :)
:lol:

I still love 'em. :D

This matchup has certainly been the best so far.

A few things: First off, as the bulldog said, this is for fun so don't worry about voting or not voting if you don't know anything by one of the bands. It's totally appropriate to vote for a band you like if you haven't heard of the other one.

The second thing is that the Clash rule and are one of the best bands of all time. Let alone better than the writer's of Pearl Necklace.


GO CLASH.

No votes since this morning. Let's lock this one and call it done.

ZZ Top controled the perimeter to force the Clash into long-range jumpers, which is not their bag. The Clash and their punk attitude couldn't help fouling at the wong times at the end of the game. ZZ Top's solid in the fundamentals. This one was won on freethrows.

I already said when I'd lock it and that's when I'll do it.

All tied up again! This could get real interesting.

Is there an overtime rule in place?
