For [livejournal.com profile] kshandra and everyone else having a great time at APC-16, we present AC/DC's take on Las Vegas. Great older footage too, with Bon Scott and Angus Young still looking good in the school uniform.



But like a Vegas buffet, we can't stop with one trip to sin city. ZZ Top may not be metal, but they fit anyone's definition of cool, and their cover of Elvis's Viva Las Vegas is exactly what we need here. So curl your lip, limber up your hips, and sing along!

After making the Heavy Metal Sunday video picks, I started watching videos that matched my mood: ZZ Top - Rough Boy, Radiohead - Creep, and then I found this one. Still one of my favorite Dead songs, and the imagery is just amazing.

Loser
Hunter/Garcia

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby, because I'm holdin' low
And you know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am asking for is ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.

Last fair deal in the country,Sweet Suzie,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before you let my deal go down

Don't you push me baby, cause I'm holdin' low
And I know a little something you won't ever know
Don't you touch hard liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
Gotta get up in the morning and go

Everybody's prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Last fair deal in the country,Sweet Suzie,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before you let my deal go down

Everybody's prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to daddy on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Well I got no chance of losin' this time

Great game! What was supposed to be a high-scoring affair turned out to be a gritty defensive battle that came down to the last two minutes.

As of this moment, the 49ers are back in the race.
