ZZ Top – TV Dinners [VIDEO]

ZZ Top, TV Dinners

I completely forgot that this song existed until I heard someone sing at during karaoke last week.

I almost spit my drink out when I heard it – love this! ZZ Top sings about the joys of those nasty, rotten TV dinners.

The lyrics are a riot:

Tv dinners there’s nothin’ else to eat
Tv dinners they really can’t be beat
I like ‘em frozen but you understand
I throw ‘em in and wave ‘em and I’m a brand new man oh yeah!

Tv dinners they’re goin’ to my head
Tv dinners my skin is turnin’ red
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin
I can’t wait until tomorrow…. And thaw one out again oh yeah!

Tv dinners I’m feelin’ kinda rough
Tv dinners this one’s kinda tough
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too
I even like the chicken if…. The sauce is not too blue.

And they’re mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have ‘em
Gimme somethin’ now.

TV Dinners was featured on ZZ Top’s 1983 album, Eliminator.
