"ZZ Blues" is a song from Sesame Street, sung by a look-alike Muppet band of ZZ Top, here called "Over the Top". The song tells about the letter "Z", and how there are not enough words starting with the letter. By the end of the song, the band fall asleep from singing about the letter Z, including the lead singer, whom "cops some Z's himself", but still play the song as they are sleeping.
Trivia
