"Pincushion" is a song by American rock band ZZ Top, released in January 1994, by RCA Records, as the first single from their eleventh studio album, Antenna (1994). The song was written by the band and produced by Bill Ham, spending four weeks at the top of the US BillboardAlbum Rock Tracks chart. It became a pop hit in the UK as well, peaking at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Having eradicated its synth stylings, ZZ Top churns out a sharp rocker that shows no trace of the band's poppier side. There is, however, plenty of studio sheen to further hone this cut's edge. Already scoring at album rock, it'll work its way toward crossover success."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Guitars buzz like an old prop plane. Ah, the Texan rockers are in the air again with the first single off their Antenna CD. Watch out for the emergency landing on your desk."[3]
