Do people in the UK call the old bearded rock band "Zed Zed Top"?

We always say "Zee Zee Top" - I think there's a sort of unspoken acceptance that they've earnt it. But you sometimes hear people say "Jay-Zed", normally as a bit of gentle mockery.

Jay-Zed as a joke is definitely something I’ve done.

Ah, so I'm guessing it wasn't "Dragon Ball Zed" either, then.

I guess that makes sense, the Rush song doesn't become YYZee in the US (mostly).

It is in french. In the intro song it sounds like they sing "dragon boule zedde".

Boule (kind of ) being pronounced as "bool" ( from boolean )

Grew up in South Africa (British English) and we always said "Dragonball Zee"

Brit here, I've heard both but DBZee is the most common.

I know people who say zed zed top, but only in jest
