ZZ Top – Gimme All Your Lovin’

“Gimme All Your Lovin” – Single by ZZ Top from the album Eliminator, released in 1983.

The single reached No. 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart), and reached No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart. It ties with the band’s 1992 cover of Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas” as their highest-charting single in the UK. The song was produced by band manager Bill Ham, and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning.

Directed by Tim Newman, the video features ZZ Top playing at a gas station, along with actor/model Peter Tramm playing a young gas station mechanic, and introduces classic ZZ elements such as the red “ZZ Eliminator Car,” the “ZZ Keychain” and the “Three ZZ Girls” as heroines. It is the first of a ZZ Top music video series.

This was the first single from the Eliminator album, which went Diamond, meaning it sold over 10 million copies.

This was the first ZZ Top single to use synthesizers; the new sound made them a huge commercial success. Lyrically, the song is a variation on a common theme for the band: sex.

That famous ZZ Top hand gesture started with the video for this song. It wasn’t planned: The band had to do several takes as the car drove by, and they were instructed to watch it. With about 20 minutes between each take, they came up with the gesture out of boredom.
