Sharp Dressed Man Lyrics:
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's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in.

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's 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.

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Sharp Dressed Man: Punk & Metal
In the 1970s, music was defined by Blues-Rock thanks to bands like The Eagles. As times changed and the 1980s arrived, Rock music began to embrace underground music forms like Punk and Metal. Emerging forth from early bands like the Ramones and Motorhead, groups like Black Flag, Fugazi, and the Glam Metal bands of Los Angeles were increasingly capturing the hearts of Rock fans. The call for a response to these new forces from mainstream fans was answered by a growing Texas trio, ZZ Top.

Sharp Dressed Man: Eliminator
Made of two men with amazing beards, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, and a man named Beard, Frank Beard, ZZ Top had steadily grown a fan base in their native Texas. Singles “La Grange” and “Cheap Sunglasses” had helped steadily sell ZZ Top tickets to their constant flow of tours across the United States. Word of mouth helped make ZZ Top into Texas icons, but 1983 album Eliminator would make ZZ Top Rock legends.

Single “Gimme’ All Your Lovin’” burned up the airwaves, but the music video featuring the charismatic ZZ Top truly ignited the band. Single “Sharp Dressed Man” would become one of the definitive songs of the 1980s and would immortalize ZZ Top in the hearts of millions of fans. The addition of single “Legs” made Eliminator one of the must-have albums for Blues-Rock fans and the resulting tour sold millions of ZZ Top tickets. Eliminator would go 10-times platinum and is often found atop critics’ lists of the best albums ever made.
