"Get a Haircut" is a rock song by American band George Thorogood & the Destroyers. It was released as a single from the 1993 album Haircut. The song was written by Bill Birch and David Avery. It peaked at No. 2 on the US Album Rock Tracks chart on August 28, 1993, and became a top-30 hit in both Australia (No. 28) and New Zealand (No. 15). "Get a Haircut" was the No. 1 most played song in Canada on FM radio.[2]
"Get a Haircut" has since become one of Thorogood's signature songs and has become a staple of classic rock radio. The music video for this song was animated by David Feiss, the creator of the Cartoon Network animated series Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel.
BackgroundEdit
Thorogood recalls being at a club in Australia called the Black Marlin watching some of the performers. He liked "Get a Haircut", asked them who wrote it and decided to cover it.[3] Thorogood began playing the song in 1970, but only decided to record it in 1992 because he had trouble getting the riff down in the studio.[2]
