Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
And cuff links, stick pin,
When I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.

Give it a break, please. It's all good!
The earlier Blues ZZ Top is way better than the pop songs. Would love to hear more of the Tres Hombres Deguello stuff

Three guys, two guitars. Like The Police.
How bout Master of Sparks
ZZ...zzzzzz
Probably the best song from ZZ Top's weak, dark period.
This still makes it an 8 for me.

The one is not the other. I've seen them live about twenty times, they played everything.

This was unexpected on RP.

Go search on YouTube for Fripp and his wife doing this tune. Worth it.

Always brings a smile to my face!

And now the kids would rather hear a song about grills, tats, booty shorts, and baggy pants that hang down to the thighs.
RIP Dusty 🤘
You know you love it yes you do!
I see you! You're jammin your air guitar and bass and drumming all at once while bouncing in your seat and it's turned up to eleven and you're loving it.
Ageless Boogie.

I'd love to hear ZZ Top dig into this one.
Great Tune!

I saw them during this tour, summer of '83 at Red Rocks, with Eric Clapton, and while E.C. wasn't memorable that day, ZZ Top tore a Texas-sized hole in the sky, and we all had ourselves a rockin' time! This period of theirs was fun, but me, my brother, and our buddies all had the thrill to ride around with a buzz on listening to Jesus Just Left Chicago, La Grange, Tush, Heard It On The X, etc. on the FM radio!

There’s a reason some songs are overplayed… They are good!

Remember when the Legs video dropped, HOT!
I forgot how good this is. The 13yr old me is nodding my head to the beat and turning it up.
Used to love watching these guys on MTV, back when MTV played music videos. I am a child of the 80s.

You know you like this. Yes you do. Oh? Then why are you rocking and swaying like that? Eh?
RIP, Dusty.

Although I think "Blue Jean Blues" is my fave.

Gotta see this cover of this song if you want a good laugh. Keep your eyes on the drummer! Go in 40 secs to skip the intro .

The whole album gets' a 10! Seen them a bunch of times in Switzerland over the years, never get tired of that sound.

Superb minimalism by Mr Beard. Love the crashes out on their own.

This was a great pick-me-up mid-shift at the ol' desk job! Makes me want to turn on my amp and start twanging those Billy Gibbons-esque double stops!
"looking for love gold diggers"\
Fixed that for you.

Another great track (apparently) only heard on the RP Rock Mix. YES!! This is the ZZ Top I knew as a kid, and while I never bought one of their studio albums, I did wear the 1s and 0s out on the Greatest Hits CD back in the day....and this one sounds great LOUD....Long Live RP and ZZ Top!!
why does Sharp Dressed Man remind me of Funky Town?
classic zz

Love that older stuff too, but these "pop" songs are pretty darn good and a good time to remember.
