ZZ Top

ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. The band comprises guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons, bassist and co-lead vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard. One of the few major label recording groups to have held the same lineup for more than forty years, ZZ Top has been praised by critics and fellow musicians alike for their technical mastery. Of the group, music writer Cub Koda said "As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers; Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists working in the arena rock idiom ... while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support."

Since the release of the band's debut album in January 1971, ZZ Top has become known for its strong blues roots and humorous lyrical motifs, relying heavily on double entendres and innuendo. ZZ Top's musical style has changed over the years, beginning with blues-inspired rock on their early albums, then incorporating new wave, punk rock and dance-rock, with heavy use of synthesizers.

ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. As a group, ZZ Top possesses 11 gold records and 7 platinum (13 multi-platinum) records; their 1983 album, Eliminator, remains the group's most commercially successful record, selling over 10 million units. ZZ Top also ranks 80th in U.S. album sales, with 25 million units. ZZ Top has sold over 50 million albums worldwide.

Gimme All Your Lovin'

"Gimme All Your Lovin'" is a song by ZZ Top from their 1983 album Eliminator. The song was released as the album's first single in 1983.

Initially unsuccessful in the UK upon its early 1984 release, in the wake of the band's American success (the single reached no. 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart), it was promptly re-released, 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.

Music video

The video features ZZ Top playing at a gas station, 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. It was directed by Tim Newman.

Gimme All Your Lovin' Lyrics

I got to have a shot

Of what you got it's oh, so sweet

 You got to make it hot

Like a boomerang I need a repeat

Gimme all your lovin'

All your hugs and kisses too

Gimme all your lovin'

Don't let up until we're through

You got to whip it up

And hit me like a ton of lead

If I blow my top

Will you let it go to your head?

Gimme all your lovin'

All your hugs and kisses too

Gimme all your lovin'

Don't let up until we're through

[Incomprehensible]

You got to move it up

And use it like a screwball would

 You got to pack it up

And work it like a new boy should

Gimme all your lovin'

All your hugs and kisses too

Gimme all your lovin'

Don't let up until we're through
