"Sharp Dressed Man", "Legs", and "Gimme All Your Lovin'" formed a trilogy of music videos with the group, the Eliminator car, and the hot girls. In each video, they all show up and the guys act as sort of "Fairy Godmothers", or more accurately, "Hairy Godfathers" .
When I was best man for my best friend's wedding and we were all forced to wear tuxes, we kept reminding ourselves that "every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man". This is one of their songs that has been used in so much pop culture it would have been had to not have heard at least the chorus to it. And in ZZ Top fashion, having the three girls come to the rescue of some poor schlub in the Eliminator coupe is something to look forward to. Now you really need to do "Legs" where they come to the aid of a damsel in distress.
Such a fun song! This rock band was formed in 1969. They were popular for their live performances, sly humorous lyrics & the matching appearances of Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill, who wore sunglasses, hats & long beards. Sadly Dusty Hill passed away in 2021. Some of their other hits are "La Grange", "Tush", "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Legs" etc.
Don Thelan built the original of this vehicle, called the “Eliminator Car,” in 1983 on behalf of Billy Gibbons based on a 1933 Ford coupé, who wanted to use it as a symbol for the next album. "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" form a trilogy and are the most watched videos on MTV. But my favorite piece is an older song by that little ol' Band from Texas called "Blue Jean Blues" from the album Fandango!. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kkHwmgllq3o.html If you ever react to their Hit "La Grange" then take the version from their Live performance at Howardt Stern. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWMnxyIhCDw.html
Beer drinkers Hellraisers, party on the patio, Manic Mechanic and how about TV dinners for a few more suggestions for you. I don't think there's any videos so you'll have to do the studio or a live version. Keep up the great work.👍🍻🇨🇦
Another fun one from this album is TV Dinners...and Got Me Under Pressure is worth a listen too. Funny thing about this band is their names are Billy Gibbons, and Dusty Hill with the beards, and the drummer...the only guy without a beard, is named Frank Beard😂
Donna, that car is a 1933 Ford Coupe which has been heavily modified. Billy Gibbons the lead singer/lead guitar player owns it. The car is currently on display at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
Nicknamed the Eliminator it was built in 1983 exclusively for the album of the same name Eliminator it was featured in the 3 music videos of sharp dressed man, gimmie all your lovin, and legs
Brings back memories. I bought their “First Album” on 8-track tape in the early 70’s. I had concert tickets for another band that was to play at the Tulsa Assembly Center but they had to cancel. They said they would refund our tickets if we wanted but that they had a replacement band to fill in - that band was ZZ Top. There was no way we would ask for a refund, we wanted to see ZZ Top more than the original band. Keep up the good work on showcasing the music - all of you ladies do a great job with your reactions and comments.
I saw them live 3 times and had the best time at every show. The first was notable in that I didn't know who they were. Teens can be stupid but in my defense I think it was their first national tour. I was in the crowd to see Deep Purple and ZZ Top was the opening act. At one point they were using a motorcycle chain to beat on the drum cymbals. The crowd was so into them, they were still shouting for another encore as Deep Purple began their set. Phenomenal.
Batarangs. Leather boots. Don't got a gun that shoots. Thick armor. Black mask. Have a car that drives fast. Criminals may run as fast as they can but people think Im crazy when I say, "Im Batman!"
I enjoy you gals doing things together and making memories. You will as is know to happen fight and argue as you grow older but these times will always be the best of times.
I'm Australian and every Australian over 40 y.o knows who they are, some of the young ones would know them as well. This song was a huge hit as were so many of their songs. I read they found the car a year or two ago, it was somewhere rusting away but they have restored it apparently :) Check out more ZZ Top they had a lot of great songs. You can buy the key ring online, BTW I bought one years ago :)
Legs was always my fav Video I think I was in my late teens when it came out. The young guy and the 3 ladies were in all the Eliminator album videos (I think).
Ooooh Heck Yeah!!! I was almost a teenager when i saw this and had a crush on the girls lol!!! Love the 80s music. Billy Gibbons, the guitarist/singer is a very underrated guitarist. Earlier in his career he opened up for Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix once said his favorite guitarist was Billy. Awesome reaction!!! More ZZ Top 😊😊😊😊. GO BOSTON BRUINS!!! 🤟🍻
@@KathyLuluandDonna we have a kid here at the house named Silas, Si for short and we recently found out that his brother's wife is going to have a baby, so he's going to be Uncle Si lol. I'd love to meet Uncle Si that guy is a trip!
3:12 LOL..The Band's the parking guy's "Fairy Godfathers" Gave him the girls and the keys! He can always go find another parking job, hell with his boss! And yep, It's true..When I wear my double-breasted sport coat, Military turtleneck sweater and Fedora, Ladies half my age take a second look and give me a smile! ( Guys in my small town are really poor dressers --no sense of style, so I stand out a little more) Hoodies , Flannel shirt and raggedy jeans? C'mon young man.-.Ain't gonna get no play lookin' like that!, Donna, one of those red 34 Fords just sold for $ 62,000 an at auction.
If I'm not too late to the party, I'd really love it if you guys could react to this same song but covered by a band called Rick K. and the Allnighters! they have a version of it that went crazy viral and all because of their drummer, better known as the "Mad Drummer" his preformance might seem just like a lot of fun for the untrained eye, but what he's actually doing on stage is way to complex since he plays and juggles with the drumsticks and never ever misses a bit, so... not only does it get to be fun to watch but talent is there, as his way of playing, to me is unique and so much technical, love that video and I hope you love it too, either in a new video for everybody to watch or just for yourselves, just in case you decide to watch it... enjoy.
ZZ Top, seen them in Concert 4 times, so good, the only other bands I have seen as much live: Beach Boys and Pink Floyd, saw them also 4 times in concert.
The guys with the beards are Billy Gibbons lead guitar and Dusty Hill on the bass! The name of drummer without the beard is Frank Beard! How ironic is that?!!
ZZ Top gained a lot of their popularity from their stuff they did in the 80s, but if you go further back to 1973 I think you would like their song ,waiting for the bus/ Jesus Just Left Chicago. If you want the album version it's on their album, Tres Hombres.
It's so funny likes the "old men". Old men aren't all old and decrepit, some of us still think and act like we are 20 years old. Me personally, I am stuck in the 80's. Musically it was the best time to be in my 20's.
@@KathyLuluandDonna LOL, if you say so. Check it out. Not all fun and games. ;O) Once we did an outdoor show at a small baseball park. I brought the staging. The area we where to set up was on the outside of the outfield wall. That wasn't that high but we had to get above it. There was a concrete walk that lead to about 1/2 of the way to that spot. After that it was grass. It had rained a few days before our load in. It looked OK so we started to run the tractor trailer truck out and it promptly got stuck. Oh well. We had a couple of forklifts so we were just going to try to off load right there. The first lift got stuck as well. We ended up unloading a lot of the flatbed by hand. We built a road out of extra plywood we always carried to use the 2nd lift to unload the rest and get it to the build area. The staging area turned out to be even worse. In those situations we put cut plywood squares under the leveling screw jacks to keep them from sinking. We used a lot them. As the stage went up it got heavier and heavier and we kept jacking it up to keep it level. Fortunately the jacks had enough height to deal with it. We managed to get the truck & lift out of the way later. Sound, lights & band gear showed up the next morning and I told those guys about the soggy load in area. We expanded the plywood road to keep those trucks from getting stuck. The show went off as scheduled but we were pretty played out getting it there. Just a behind the scenes thing that most people never know about. ;O)
Wow. Classic Rock. This is my first time to listen to this band. This is my cup of tea. There is a J Rock band called Band Maid also doing some classic rock songs like this one. You can try their live MV Play, Freedom, and Domination to see.
ZZ Top - Legs. It shows the famous car in that video as well. The car is called The Eliminator. The same guy in this video is also in Legs. Pay close attention to the video and Billy and Dusty spin their fuzzy white guitars but only twice so if you miss it, you missed it. They spin them at the 1:49 mark and 3:06 mark Official Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eUDcTLaWJuo.html
