Hot rods & hotter riffs

The first entry in ZZ Top's "Eliminator trilogy," this track is one of the band's most well-known and catchiest songs. In the video, the band appears in their signature look-long beards, hats, and sunglasses-while the narrative follows a gas-station attendant who encounters the trio of sexy ZZ girls. The band members materialize and vanish in the background, giving the video a slightly surreal vibe. Alongside the empowered trio and the submissive male protagonist, the video introduces iconic elements of the Eliminator era, including the Ford hot-rod and the distinctive ZZ keychain. The fun storyline, upbeat song, and stylized visuals helped establish the signature ZZ Top aesthetic that defined the band for years to come.

Trivia
Initially unsuccessful in the UK upon its August 1983 release, in the wake of the band's American success , it was promptly re-released, and reached no. 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
