Forty years later, and ZZ Top is still the coolest. Fur guitars? That spin? Of course, this is a great video and even greater song. I also love how they portray the biker dudes as totally cool gentlemen.
I Immediately thought of "Eliminator" and Afterburner" the first 2 ZZ Top Albums I ever bought. Loved them then and still love them today. Talk about an under-rated band. Love their music and as you say Dusty Hill was a great guy.
I like how in this, and in other, ZZ Top music videos (ie. "Sharp Dressed Man") the boys just show up and transform an ordinary average person's life, with just one outstanding Texas rocking blues tune!
Even back in the 80's we never knew what the hell was going on in these videos, and could care less. If a vintage chromed out roadster came pulling up with three or four nylon clad bombshells in high heels and then three hillbilly looking dudes appeared out of nowhere and gave you the key to everything, you didn't question it. God, I miss the 1980's.
ZZ Top called themselves "that little ol' blues band from Texas", but we all know that they were more than that. ZZ Top had some of the most badass, skull crushing, hardrocking power riffs ever created in the history of this earth. RIP to a Texas King, Dusty Hill. 1949-2021.
Actually, the media called them 'that little blues band from Texas' as an insult. ZZTop turned that comment around and owned it. You can check it in a ZZTop documentary.
The girl in the hot car. "Kymberly Herrin" passed away today. She will always be remembered for her role in making ZZ Top a household name for millions of boys in the 80s and even today. She was also on the KISS Exposed video during the breakfast scene with Paul Stanley, among other parts. She will be missed.
Rest In Paradise🕊 DUSTY HILL ... Thank You So Much For The Great Music And Talent You Gave To Us And Left To Us!!! The Greatest Rock🎸Band from the Lone Star State: ZZ TOP!!!
I think it's fair to say that ZZ Top is one of the most iconic bands in the history of music. Love those Sharp Dressed sounds :) thank you Dusty, Billy and Frank.
The lost art of video music storytelling. A real gem from the early era of MTV & Friday Night Video. They even have a Trilogy of sorts with Gimme All Your Lovin’ & Sharp Dressed Man
ZZTop has done a song that people will be listening to 200 years from now! To say that this one is legendary would be an understatement. These guys define two things…Rock and Cool.
My friend saw ZZ Top in concert and she said it was the best concert she had ever seen. She said they were in sync to the second. I never got to see them but I sure wish I could have. RIP Dusty... You live through your music now and it's amazing.
I saw ZZTOP 3 times...The Recycler Tour (1991) it was phenomenal!! ..then when they toured with Lynard Skynard in 2000...and the last time was 2013 at a local casino... 🙂
I seen Top twice this year, first time Joe Perry opened for them second time they opened for Willie Nelson and they where awesome, although I never did get to see them with the Dust
My brother and I watched this video over and over. We were 13 and 15 and those legs were amazing back then. Now that I'm 52, those legs are more than amazing, they are fascinating.
My sister & I were 11&12 yrs old when this video hit MTV. We would wait for this video to play. My favorite was the lady in all white, & my sister liked the one in the red top... RIP to Dusty man DANG!!
Absolutely loved ZZ Top and their iconic hot rod. Fantastic guitar rifs and such memorable tunes. Shocked and saddened to hear Dusty had gone to that highway in the sky. RIP.
2:43 The girl in Red, Playmate Kym Herrin, passed away today of cancer at only 65. She had more than her share of tragedies, losing everything in a fire, and having two sisters die before her. But she lived a adventurous life, sailing her boat thru the Panama Canal and traveling extensively. She would be recognized from this video in the most remotest of places. RIP Kym.
Dam where has the time gone!!! I remember cruising to Front Street in Philly and watching the all the local hot cars race. All the parties, Jersey shore in the summer!! Hot girls and great music like ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and all the pop bands too!!! What an awesome time!!! I miss the 80s!!!! Dam I wish I could go back!!
God, I miss good rock-and-roll. Autotuned/pitch corrected rap, hip-hop and boy bands are now omnipresent and you have to go hunting in the shadows to find contemporary rock. RIP, Dusty.
It pains me to see another rock music legend pass away! Dusty was like the Paul McCartney of the years of ZZ Top’s dominate reign of the early 70’s, mid 70’s, late 70’s, early 80’s, mid 80’s and late 80’s and so on this band is always gonna be my favorite despite the loss of Dusty!! ZZ Top is gonna keep on rocking no matter what!
I am an East Coast born and raised man who thinks this is absolutely fantastic! This is still one of my favorite alltime rock songs. I was always fascinated by these guys who never seemed to shave at all! LOL!
I was watching so much MTV the summer of 1984, every frame of the video is encoded in my brain. And I am not complaining. Iconic 80s styles and the whole Eliminator album is a timeless classic. 💗
Ladies High Heel Shoes is one of the common theme of the music videos as related to David Bowie, Craig David, Spice Girls and RuPaul. A very classic and fashionable footwear ever!
I don't know what happened to M.T.V., but it sank after starting the music video revolution... probably the suits and ties.... They have killed more good pop music, and radio station formats than anything... We never needed rap, crap, or hip hop... Top 40 music sucks these days... I listen to country now.. Check out, girls weren't design to pump iron, last nights woman on you tube..
One of my most watched videos on MTV in the 80s. Cool car & keychain, fluffy guitar & bass, gorgeous girls, payback themed and great song. Thanks ZZ Top ! Even your band name is cool !😁 RIP Dusty Hill
I grew up w/ them & they were the greatest. I even got their "key" symbol key chain, RIP Dusty. You will b missed since back then, it was real music...
RIP Dusty Bro. You, your talent and contribution to music will always live on. Dusty and the rest of the crew gave us great music, and they were the soundtrack of my life and millions of others around the world-Thank you. Dusty and ZZ Top define great music.
I was born in 96. What I've learned about the 80's from their videos are that the girls were attractive. Bullies ran wild. Most 80's artists cannot dance, and the music was greatness.
True, I tell my kids about how they don't have bullies anymore, now it's all just done in social media. Physical bullying was brutal back then, school was like prison, unless you kicked someone's A$$ you got no respect
The women were beautiful, but the glasses were way too big and they wore their pants/shorts/skirts/bottoms way too high (It's almost like female belly buttons were illegal to show in the 80s unless they wore a bikini or were Madonna.).
Hey Echoe, I love your take and much respect. But I must disagree (slightly)😉. Bullies reigned with impunity. The music was AWESOME!! Much better than the dreck being churned out currently. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. But on the 3rd point I must disagree. I was born in 1969 and came of age in the 80s. It's true that there were some beautiful girls back then. But the ones NOW are on a different level. I don't know if it's better nutrition/exercise or hormones in meat. But young women today are definitely more beautiful and have better bodies than women from the 80s. Just one old man's opinion. 👌🏾👋🏿
When this album came out, I honestly could not remember a band more popular or more famous than ZZ Top. I mean you just heard this or Gimme All Your Lovin' on every station, all the time. Absolute banger and absolute legends.
This video is a morality play. The moral of the story: Wrongdoers may get their way temporarily, but they will eventually be punished and the righteous will ultimately be triumphant. It would be a wonderful world if things always worked out that way in real life.
I saw them last night for the first time live and was BLOWN AWAY by how good they sounded even at their age. Absolutely crushed it. Wish Dusty could’ve been there.
Нет, просто современная америка стала больной, наполненной садомитами. И многие люди скучают по временам когда жизнь была естественной и не лицемерной, мир где больные уроды не говорили нормальным людям долбится в жопу и целовать неграм ноги
I was 12 years old when I first saw a ZZ Top video. Became an instant fan. I've seen them live several times and the 'Eliminator' is my dream car. Rest peacefully in the loving arms of God, Mr.Hill. You've more than earned your heavenly rest.
Back in the day when I was 6 in 1984 I watched MTV and loved this song, along with The CARS, The Eurythmics, Ghost Buster's, Prince, even Culture Club.
I have to admit back in 1984 when my older brother and I watched this video on Night Tracks, I asked him 'WTH are you watching?' However, after seeing it a few times, the video and the song was extremely catchy and I have to give ZZ Top their respect. Got me doing the wave they do at the end. Totally feeling this, R.I.P. Dusty Hill
в который раз пересматриваю. как же я скучаю по той. нормальной Америке. под эту песню только на седельном тягаче или мотоцикле ехать. спасибо вы подарили радость моей душе. p.s. девушка в белом и кепочке. это красавица. и ножки ее прекрасны
Growing up in Texas, I have seen the boys play a bunch of times. But the best show I saw was like ~1986 in Frankfurt Germany. Some fellow soldiers and I went to see them play. We were blown away, very cool show. I believe it was the tour with this album maybe. Anyway, very cool. RIP Dusty, you left us all alone out here, but with some of the best music ever! Long live the legend that is ZZ Top👍👍
Wow this song brings back good memories of my childhood. I used to watch this video almost daily on Video One hosted by Richard Blade. That show introduced me to Thomas Dolby, Adam Ant and so many other great artists.
So I've been working my way through the ZZ Top music videos and my findings are as follows: a) The band are mystical beings who appear whenever/wherever societal wrongs need correcting. They also may be omnipresent, but remain invisible to most people except the helped. The three women act as their "miracle conduits", and who also possess undefined powers of persuasion. b) The source of the band's power is their vehicle, by way of their signature keys. Their beards as well. c) Most problems can be resolved by a 1933 "Eliminator" Ford appearing and whisking you away. However, that being said, the car seems to also be some kind of sentient being since it had died in a previous videos, but was presumably brought back to life (Jesus metaphor?)
The three ZZ Top Goddesses might be Greek Furies (Erinyes), if the latter then their ancient names would be: Alecto - Punisher of moral crimes (anger, etc.) Megaera - Punisher of infidelity, oath breakers, and theft Tisiphone - Punisher of murderers Alternatively they might be considered Valkyrie, though I think the girls from the amazing: 'The Avalanches' "Since I Left You", (1999), Actually fit the Norse Valkyrie 'Choosers of the slain' role better. That video is a bit like a like an old "Twilight Zone' episode. The ZZ Top keychain can be seen as a stylized lightning bolt - so that could play as a gift from Zeus, Ruler of the Greek Pantheon.
Thank you and @jason P. for the insightful chain. I agree, with the 3 faeries theme. I find it interesting it is used commonly in music videos, and wonder where the artists find themselves in the midst. Chet Faker's "Gold" MV, he is seen as the victim of fate and succumbs to the three goddesses on roller blades, whereas ZZ Top appears to be the instruments of destiny and has the accompanying 3 fates dress up and assist in their object's rescue.
I along with many, MANY other teenage girls wanted to be ZZ Top girls after this video as we all want happy endings, eh. ICONS. Thank you for being your amazing selves everyone, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.
Love everything about this video Hot chicks in 34 coupe, revenge on people who treated her wrong, and ZZ top laying down some hot licks! Damn I miss the 80s
Song is 36 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was released. An all time classic. "I miss the 70s and 80s." I say, being born in the 2000s.
As someone who was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's, You are right, this is a classic and the 90's was the BEST Era EVER. Time to listen to this song again :)
I swear every ZZ Top video is the band playing as a bunch of magical godfathers using their detachment of angels to help out some working stiffs catch a break.

Of course, this is a great video and even greater song. I also love how they portray the biker dudes as totally cool gentlemen.
I listen to so many different genres of music, but this is my very favorite song ever.
I can't believe that I never noticed that they didn't have any strings on these guitars...

I Immediately thought of "Eliminator" and Afterburner" the first 2 ZZ Top Albums I ever bought. Loved them then and still love them today. Talk about an under-rated band. Love their music and as you say Dusty Hill was a great guy.
This video changed my life when I was young. It made me love nerd gals with nice legs and ZZ Top. RIP Dusty.
So true,Rip Dusty.
REST IN PEACE DUSTY🎸💪😇🙏💔😢
Love your comment x

Right on man. The stuff on there now. Is shit

These guys will live on forever. The best. Still listening 2024.
Rest In Peace, Kym. Condolences to her family and friends. ♥️
Back in the day when I was 6 in 1984 I watched MTV and loved this song, along with The CARS, The Eurythmics, Ghost Buster's, Prince, even Culture Club.
I remember every one of those like it was yesterday ☺️
I have to admit back in 1984 when my older brother and I watched this video on Night Tracks, I asked him 'WTH are you watching?' However, after seeing it a few times, the video and the song was extremely catchy and I have to give ZZ Top their respect. Got me doing the wave they do at the end. Totally feeling this, R.I.P. Dusty Hill
в который раз пересматриваю. как же я скучаю по той. нормальной Америке. под эту песню только на седельном тягаче или мотоцикле ехать. спасибо вы подарили радость моей душе. p.s. девушка в белом и кепочке. это красавица. и ножки ее прекрасны
I love these old videos. They may not have the technical advances we have today, but they were lots of fun to watch.
Farewell to a sharp dressed man.
R.I.P Dusty Hill: 1949-2021.
Mi tema favorito de ZZ Top. QEPD Dusty Hill.
Got 2 b the best rock group of all time ! The coolest 😊
Growing up in Texas, I have seen the boys play a bunch of times. But the best show I saw was like ~1986 in Frankfurt Germany. Some fellow soldiers and I went to see them play. We were blown away, very cool show. I believe it was the tour with this album maybe. Anyway, very cool. RIP Dusty, you left us all alone out here, but with some of the best music ever! Long live the legend that is ZZ Top👍👍
Wow this song brings back good memories of my childhood. I used to watch this video almost daily on Video One hosted by Richard Blade. That show introduced me to Thomas Dolby, Adam Ant and so many other great artists.
So I've been working my way through the ZZ Top music videos and my findings are as follows:
a) The band are mystical beings who appear whenever/wherever societal wrongs need correcting. They also may be omnipresent, but remain invisible to most people except the helped. The three women act as their "miracle conduits", and who also possess undefined powers of persuasion.
b) The source of the band's power is their vehicle, by way of their signature keys. Their beards as well.
c) Most problems can be resolved by a 1933 "Eliminator" Ford appearing and whisking you away. However, that being said, the car seems to also be some kind of sentient being since it had died in a previous videos, but was presumably brought back to life (Jesus metaphor?)
The three ZZ Top Goddesses might be Greek Furies (Erinyes), if the latter then their ancient names would be:
Alecto - Punisher of moral crimes (anger, etc.)
Megaera - Punisher of infidelity, oath breakers, and theft
Tisiphone - Punisher of murderers
Alternatively they might be considered Valkyrie, though I think the girls from the amazing:
'The Avalanches' "Since I Left You", (1999),
Actually fit the Norse Valkyrie 'Choosers of the slain' role better.
That video is a bit like a like an old "Twilight Zone' episode.
The ZZ Top keychain can be seen as a stylized lightning bolt - so that could play as a gift from Zeus, Ruler of the Greek Pantheon.
Thank you and @jason P. for the insightful chain. I agree, with the 3 faeries theme. I find it interesting it is used commonly in music videos, and wonder where the artists find themselves in the midst. Chet Faker's "Gold" MV, he is seen as the victim of fate and succumbs to the three goddesses on roller blades, whereas ZZ Top appears to be the instruments of destiny and has the accompanying 3 fates dress up and assist in their object's rescue.
Agree ! I also love the interpretations. Thanks VW H and Jason P.
@@jasonp.1195 I bow humbly to your infinite knowledge

Damn I miss the 80s
Hi Charlie, how are you doing 👋😊
Absolutely one of the finest music videos ever made;!!
Dusty RIP man you and ZzTopp helped me out of the blues through some of the darkest times of my life
Song is 36 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was released. An all time classic.
"I miss the 70s and 80s." I say, being born in the 2000s.
As someone who was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's, You are right, this is a classic and the 90's was the BEST Era EVER.
Time to listen to this song again :)
I swear every ZZ Top video is the band playing as a bunch of magical godfathers using their detachment of angels to help out some working stiffs catch a break.
