Old Video Of Zach Top Singing “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” At Karaoke Goes Viral: “Doesn’t Know What To Do Without A Guitar”

Just when you’re getting big, the past comes to haunt you. That statement might be a little dramatic because Zach Top is not doing anything detrimental to his name, but I am sure he’s seeing this video resurfacing and thinking, “Really?” Sorry Zach… Zach Top has had a career-defining year. He just scored his first number one single on country radio, was named the ACM Award New Male Artist of the Year, and secured his first CMA nomination. While he’s just getting started, it’s clear that he will be the next big name in country music. Zach Top is turning back time and leading the movement of creating music that embraces the genre’s roots, curating a sound very similar to the stars of the ’90s. But just like most stars today, they have moments from their early careers or before they were famous, of them performing in little dive bars trying to make it big. While this recent viral video of Zach Top is, in fact, from a dive bar, it’s not him performing for beer money. In fact, Top was discovered on social media, breaking onto the scene with a video singing Daryle Singletary on the day of his passing. But back to the video at hand… Footage of Zach Top performing at a local dive bar is going viral, and not because he’s singing beautifully (which he is). Instead, it went viral because he had not yet figured out how to be suave on stage, leading to an awkward performance of “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holme. The song choice and the vocals were there for this impromptu karaoke performance, but the dance moves… the man needs to work on that. But hey, he never claimed to be a ballroom dancer. And it’s all in good fun, right? Gotta be a little silly up there when you’re singing this one. As Top and his buddy belt out the sing-along song lyrics, he bounces up and down awkwardly to the beat. The fan account that posted the video joked in the caption that he dances like Woody from Toy Story. And I had to admit it, but I kind of see it. How his knees bend is similar to how a doll with jointed knees moves. @whiskeyriff @Zach Top with the moves. // : @Zach Top’s Top Fans #whiskeyriff #zachtop #dancemoves #countrymusic ♬ original sound – Whiskey Riff Like the account owner who posted the video, other social media users quickly poked fun at the “Use Me” singer’s dance moves. “When he’s just trying to be a serious artist and ya’ll had to resurface this.” “Homeboy doesn’t know what to do without a guitar in his hands.” “As if I wasn’t already completely sold on this dude.” “It’s the lil dancey dance .” “He is definitely the nerdy 4-H kid that gets a little too wild on trips.” “I’m thinking the liquor hit lol.” “Little zesty lol.” Thankfully, his moves on stage have improved dramatically since this moment.The post Old Video Of Zach Top Singing “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” At Karaoke Goes Viral: “Doesn’t Know What To Do Without A Guitar” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
