ong information

The song centers on a double entendre - it has nothing to do with an actual necklace, but rather a sexual act called the "pearl necklace," as stated in the lyrics "And that's not jewelry she's talkin' about" and "she was gettin bombed and I was gettin blown away." [cite web|url=http://www.lyricsdomain.com/26/zz_top/pearl_necklace.html|title='Lyrics Domain Pearl Necklace Lyrics ZZ Top'] . The song's intro shows a distinct inspiration from The Police's song, "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," which was released just a year earlier.
