- Gimme All Your Lovin’ This is it, the world shaker. Fourteen years down a long, hard road and ZZ Top essentially changed the game completely, overnight.
- Sharp Dressed Man. The video was full of Playboy models, the second in a trilogy of male wish-fulfillment fantasies that clogged the pipes at MTV for months, but all the leather and lace in the world wouldn’t have mattered if they didn’t have this perfect pop song to back it up.
- Legs. The one everybody remembers, mostly for the video with the girl and the album’s name-sake car (a 1933 Ford Couple owned by guitarist/frontman Billy Gibbons) and for its perfect riff, a beautifully crafted machine-gun staccato that basically screamed “WELCOME TO THE 80’S, MOTHERF**KERS!”.
- TV Dinners. The runt of the four mega-hits from this album, TV Dinners is the most new-wave-y of the singles. Riding on a skittering synth lick not far removed from Don Henley’s Dirty Laundry, TV Dinners embraces the plastic-fantastic kookiness of 80s pop, from the goofy lyrics (’I like the enchiladas and the teriyaki too, I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue’) to the charmingly weird b-movie homage music video that accompanied it.
