La Grange
ZZ Top hit
La Grange is a place name for numerous American towns and counties, most notably in Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Illinois.
The name comes from French meaning "the barn" or "the farm," often honoring the Marquis de Lafayette's French estate.
ZZ Top's 1973 song "La Grange" immortalized the Texas town's notorious brothel, the Chicken Ranch.
