Rhythmeen by ZZ Top (1996)---------"Rhythmeen"

mcs.net (350 k .wav file, first 2 verses)

According to [Billy] Gibbons, this stands for "mean rhythm" and indicates the album's general mood. 'Straight from Bo Diddley Land'.

Solid-silver beat machine
Hunkin' down
Funkin' up on Magazine
On rhythmeen in New Orleans

Drinkin' Dixie 45 with hot links
In a silver Continental
Wired as hell and doin' things
That's what you get on rhythmeen

Oh yeah, way up
Oh yeah, way out
Uh-huh, get on up
Rhythmeen is down
Rhythmeen thing
Mean mean rhythmeen

Can't get enough of that special sauce
The backbeat's the big boss
Here comes another dope fiend
Tradin' up for rhythmeen

Oh yeah, weird up
Oh yeah, fear not
Uh-huh, get on up
Rhythmeen is down

Leanin' on a silver Lincoln
A Galaxy 500
In a Mustang might Tchoupitoulas
Rhythmeen up everything

~ "Rythmeen"

Re: Hungarian Proverb... hmm I just copied it, and so it said...

Hungarian is an even harder language to learn than German... do you speak it ?

Green Eyes...

Green
The dawn was apple-green,
The sky was green wine held up in the sun,
The moon was a golden petal between.

She opened her eyes, and green
They shone, clear like flowers undone
For the first time, now for the first time seen.
