She’s got legs… that need shaving… she’s got legs…
Here’s the NSFW alternate version.
My first experiences of looking at semi-naked women was in the Sears catalog women’s lingerie section. It was 1967 and I was 10 years old, so cut me a break. It was later that year that I discovered my Uncle’s Playboy stash he kept hidden in his basement. I loved reading “Little Annie Fanny” in the back of Playboy. It was quite the awakening for a young boy.
ZZ Top is not a great band, but one that has entertained me for going on 4 decades now. I had mixed feelings about their early 70s stuff, but “Eliminator” and “Afterburner” sure made my day back in the early ’80s. I’m sure I’ve done “Legs” before, but in honor of Robyn’s hairy legs, we’ll do a double take.
Edit: And I’ll add this one to memorialize Dusty Hill’s passing in 2021. This live version kicks ass.
Wasn’t not shaving legs in the 70s the norm?
Not the women I dated. There were those who went against the “system” and refused to wear bras or shave their legs, etc., but I think for the most part women shaved their legs.
I know the “natural” thing was bigger in the ’60s then the ’70s. Now, I believe in some areas of Europe women don’t shave their legs and think our western chicks are a tad strange for it, so it’s based on how you were raised.
I don’t know, I’m just a stupid guy. 🙂
I’m not a big ZZ Top fan, but of the the many bands I’ve seen live, they put on the three top shows, and that includes people like the Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Alice Cooper, KISS, Moody Blues…
Agreed. I saw them in the mid-70s and they cranked back then and they seem to still have the same stage energy today for old farts.
Bearman, unless any of the gals our age wanna offer otherwise, I agree with Byron – I remember that for the most part the women in the 70’s did shave. There was a neighborhood hippie chick that used to babysit my sis & I in the mid-60’s who had hairier legs than I do now (& that’s considerable!). Also, I had an uncle who was in his teens at the time (we’re talking ’66-’67) who was living with us & seemed to always be dating the un-shaved as well, so yeah – more of a 60’s thing.
Them damn hippies…
😛
And to think some folks called *us* hippies back in the day when our generation was anything BUT hippies. Stoners, maybe, but not hippies. We didn’t own old VW vans and drive around with peace symbols on the doors.
Tease me. 🙂
It’s what I do best…
What’s left to the imagination is often better than when we see it “in the flesh” so to speak…
🙂
Yeah, I don’t think eyes are gonna make down to your legs, well maybe your upper legs. 🙂
Funny how that works… 😛
Mine eyes have seen the glory of those ladies perky boobs,
We men like to ogle them, yes, we’re perverted noobs,
…thats all I got! [wink]
I can name that tune in 3 notes…
[nudge, nudge]
🙂
Okay, the shaved legs thing I did not see coming. 🙁
Well, that’s good! I like to pull off a gag that isn’t too obvious from time to time… so, yay me!
😛
Jynksie – that’s only one whisker (or nipple hair?) short of PERFECT. If you want it to go in exact accord with the original, all you need to do is put a couple more syllables in the second line, maybe something like ‘Oh, we men do like to ogle them, yes, we’re perverted noobs’ would do it a treat! Just sayin’ 😀
Second verse, same as the first… oh…
🙂
~pointedly looks in the opposite direction to avoid saying regrettable things like “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!”~
LOL! Though I suspect that at a nudist colony, no-one would be bothered about a few hairy legs. Still, Robyn wouldn’t know that!
Yeah, from my “research” on the web about naturalist camps, they wouldn’t notice at all. But, us noobs would…
🙂
ZZ Top was not a great band?
Fie on you, Sir!
LOL! I probably over-stated myself as usual… I love ZZ Top, but I’m not a big fan of everything they do, so I guess that’s where I pulled the “not great” part from.
Name another successful mainstream band that’s been together for nearly 40 years as one continuous band? Hard to name one.
alternate title: Babe Ruth, “Gimme Some Leg” (good seventies track, very sardonic, very listenable)
Her legs probably not that hairy and their is using a nearby safety razor or duck tape to remove leg hair. Too bad Bud was not a girl then they could be three like Josie and the Pussy cats. The drummer would be in the back so they would not notice hairy legs though they’d wear pussy cat body suits with matching shoes. Oh what fun you are the best.
I think ZZ Top occupy the same space in a lot of people’s minds: not a favorite but one that they quite enjoy. After Dusty Hill’s passing, I watched their 1980 Rockpalast show and it was awesome. They already had the long beards but hadn’t fully become walking cartoons with matching outfits and synchronized movements, and they were still working on how to make that look work visually. Musically, however, they were tight as nails.
You hit it on the head exactly! ZZ Top are entertainers as much as they are musicians. Their “Worldwide Texas Tour” of ’76 and ’77 was a glimpse at the extent this band would go to entertain a crowd. Their music isn’t groundbreaking or inventive by any means, but it sure is fun to play.
