"today's song of the day..."
 
   ... was going to be ZZ Top's "I Gotsta Get Paid", but frankly I can only understand about 33% of the lyrics, so quoting them here would be an exercise in nothing much.

VH1 Classic slipped this one by me in an episode of Totally '80s. I didn't twig to it at first because, well, ZZ Top's sound has not appreciably changed since 1983... :)

After listening to it, I went searching for information, and I was surprised. I mean, if they call it Totally '80s, one would expect that all the songs were from the '80s. But no, it's a cover of a '90s rap song, with ZZ Top sound.

One of the things they do sometimes on Totally '80s is show two videos from the same band back-to-back, if said band is still recording today - one of a hit from the '80s, and another of one of the band's latest efforts. In most cases it's quite obvious when they do that, because usually both the band's sound and the visual style of their videos will have changed markedly. In the case of ZZ Top... not so much. :)
