The great thing about this video is that if you ever feel like you've forgotten what falling in love is supposed to feel like, you can just come back to it and watch the drummer.
Beyond the novelty of "lol xiu xiu covering zz top" this is a really exceptional cover, it recontextualizes the swaggering machismo of billy gibbons et al with this intense anxiety, like it's not some big dick alpha flex, but some neurotic dude trying to convince himself of his potency, brilliant stuff
there was a comment on the original video that said that Jamie Stewart turned this song into one about a serial killer stalking his next prey. Amazing version!!!
thank you for this! one of my favorite covers ever and i’m really pissed they deleted it. i’m not the biggest xiu xiu fan but i love the energy they bring to this song
Hell yeah new upload. I miss that comment where the guy talks about the daddest of dads. Can’t remember how it went but they do barbecues, talk about the good old days and rev their midlife crisis motorcycles. Made me laugh so hard
Alpha Dad, and the Ron Paul thing they added in their comment? They talked about seeing ZZ Top in the 80’s with Lesser Dad I think? It was quite humorous. Kudos to whomever originally posted it.
thanks for the upload! this was one of my favorites from that AVU season, I really miss the cloud nothings cover of clocks too, wish could find it again someday

Finally I get to hear Jamie over-enunciate "stick pin" again

A well written comment. You are like a music critic.

It really sounds like it though.
I think it was something like "they took this song about a lady killer and turned it into a song about a lady killer"
Truly a missed opportunity that they didn't perform this in Twin Peaks The Return
Thanks for saving this, I really thought this was lost forever
I was thinking the same thing, this would’ve fit perfectly
Would've been perfect for a Mr. C episode
Those of you uploading these nearly lost AV Club performances are truly doing the lord's work
was scared i'd never see this again. thanks a ton for the reupload. av club needs to stop deleting their videos
Dude’s singing sounds like he’s about to climax at any moment lmaoo
No.
he is
you ain’t heard nothing yet. listen to Stupid in the Dark
thank you for this! one of my favorite covers ever and i’m really pissed they deleted it. i’m not the biggest xiu xiu fan but i love the energy they bring to this song
yee same!
I want to enjoy anything as much as she enjoys playing this song.
He cracks me up when he says "stick pin".
Cant say that they didn't make it their own. Great cover.
Best cover from a band that bangs out the best covers around.
thank you so much, i've been missing this
Shayna truly is an incredible drummer.

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 The same one! It was magnificent
I miss the one that went, "It's hard to sing when you're ejaculating."
Unreal
Absolutely riveting
Seriously moving that was phenomenal
Definitely Black Lodge material.
thanks for the upload! this was one of my favorites from that AVU season, I really miss the cloud nothings cover of clocks too, wish could find it again someday
Shayna has to be the happiest drummer ever.... 🥁😁
very underrated band,went to see them in (warsaw) poland on 20/05/23.....
I wish I could smash through life like that drummer smashes her drums - cool as a cucumber.
Xiu Xiu for life ! 💟
STICK PIN.
thank u sm for the upload
literally thank you so much for reuploading this, absolute legend
Hopefully they'll do an album of covers someday.
jamie and shayna are stunning here, awesome cover
Conor Oberst sounds great here
If you like this, you might also enjoy the Tuxedomoon cover of "Heard it Through the Grapevine".
Thanks for saving this!
when did this come out?
Made it their own to which is the only way I would adore it.
Oh my lands I am in love
Dunkelman is always 🔥
This is a brilliant cover.
Why did the channel get taken down?
AV club got bought by Condé Nast or some company like that and they totally destroyed everything that made the site great for no real reason
The best version of this song
Totally dope
thank u
Thanks
Thank you, dudes :))
god bless you
