Well, ZZ Top used it in 1981 on their El Loco album...
Pearl Necklace by ZZ Top
She's really upset with me again ,
I didn't give her what she likes .
I don't know what to tell her,
Don't know what to say.
Everything got funky last night .
She was really bombed ,
And I was really blown away ,
Until I asked her what she wanted ,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace .
She gets a charge out of bein' so weird ,
Digs gettin' downright strange .
But I can keep a handle on anything ,
Just this side of deranged .
She was gettin' bombed ,
And I was gettin' blown away ,
And she held it in her hand
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace .
She is so tough , as pure as the driven slush .
And that's not true what she's talkin' about ,
It really don't cost that much .
She was gettin' bombed ,
And I was gettin' blown away ,
And she took it in her hand ,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace .
She wanna pearl necklace
