In Videos: 'Burger Man' by ZZ Top

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 28, 2008 at 4:00 PM

Yesterday MTV launched mtvmusic.com, a treasure trove for anyone who's old enough to actually remember when MTV used to play music. On Serious Eats, we blogged up Weird Al Yankovic's "Eat It" video, but I trolled the site earlier this morning and found ZZ Top's "Burger Man" joint.

It's a shame that music videos aren't as prominent in the culture as they were in the '80s and '90s. At best, they were a source of surrealist short-form entertainment—as is "Burger Man," a sort of Plan 9 from Outer Space meets Russ Meyer touched down in Texas. The video, after the jump.
