"Gimme All Your Lovin'" was the first single from ZZ Top's 1983 album Eliminator, and it's the sound of a hard rock band gunning its engine for the video age. Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard wrote it, Gibbons sings lead and plays the electric guitar, Hill plays bass and sings, and Beard handles drums and percussion. The band's manager, Bill Ham, produced it, and Terry Manning recorded and mixed.

The groove is a steady, pulsing strut, lean and relentless, built for highways. Its video mattered just as much: record man Jeff Ayeroff, freshly arrived at Warner Bros. and watching MTV rewrite the rules, got the label to pay for the band's first clip, in which three women in the Eliminator hot rod, a 1933 Ford, whisk a young gas station attendant away while the band flickers in and out and tosses him the keys. In Britain it went top ten, matching their best showing there.
