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

Music video

[edit]

The "Gimme All Your Lovin'" music video follows a young male gas station attendant who is taken for a ride by a trio of women driving the vintage Eliminator car. The band appears and disappears, and they throw the attendant the keys to the car.[3] The three main actresses were Jeana Tomasino from Wisconsin, Danièle Arnaud from Nice, France, and a third model Kimberly Herrin who dropped out of contact and was not paid.[4] Tomasino had posed for Playboy in 1980.[5]

Record executive Jeff Ayeroff saw how MTV was reshaping popular music throughout 1982. After he joined Warner Bros. Records in early 1983, he convinced them to pay for the first ZZ Top music video, for "Gimme All Your Lovin'". Warner hired filmmaker Tim Newman to direct it. Newman's siblings David, Thomas and Maria scored orchestral music, and his cousin was songwriter Randy Newman. Tim Newman met with Ham and the band to discuss ideas for the video.[6] He returned to direct the videos for "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs".[7]
