Carl Hilding "Doc" Severinsen, The Tonight Show’s band leader from 1967 to 1992, is turning 9️⃣8️⃣ today.
That time when he played horns on ZZ Top’s Tonight Show performance in May 1986. Why? No one knows.
May 21, 1983

ZZ Top release their video for "Gimme All Your Lovin'," marking the first appearance of the Eliminator, Billy Gibbons' 1933 Ford Hot Rod. The car appears in three other ZZ Top videos and becomes closely associated with the band. Gibbons has another one built just like it to bring on tour.
How do you turn a venerable Texas blues-rock band into a featured attraction on MTV? With girls and a car, of course. The "Gimme All Your Lovin'" video contains no studio footage, breaking away from the format of "band plays fake concert while other stuff goes on." It's all outdoors, opening with a scene where a gas-station attendant is turning a wrench. When the eliminator pulls up, it begins an adventure where the three lovely ladies inside take him for a ride. He wakes up as if from a dream, but the Eliminator rolls by and he's holding the key the girls gave him. Not only is it a cohesive storyline (rare for MTV at the time), but it also leaves room for a sequel, which is filled by the next ZZ Top single, "Sharp Dressed Man," where he is working as a valet. When the Eliminator pulls up, the same three girls emerge, helping him find his inner dance demon. The third video in the series if for "Legs," which this time features a girl working a thankless job where she is constantly harassed. When the Eliminator pulls up, the girls give her a makeover and imbue her with confidence, which she uses to take control. The car also appears in their video for "Sleeping Bag," this time as part of a horror film homage. The car is the real deal: Billy Gibbons bought if from a woman in Tucson, Arizona, then tricked it out big time, with a 350-cubic-inch V8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 transmission and custom graphics created by Kenny Youngblood, a longtime drag racing artist known as "the Michelangelo of Motorsports." Gibbons' cravings began when he saw the 1974 TV movie The California Kid, which featured a similar vehicle. Eliminator is chosen as the name of the album and featured on the cover. Thanks to their MTV success, they grow a whole new audience that is half their age. The car is so popular, Gibbons commissions a clone for appearances. The orignial becomes a favorite of gearheads, featured in just about every magazine that deals with hot rods and customs. ZZ Top's next album, Afterburner, also has the car on the cover, this time in space. Gibbons adds to his collection of custom vehicles, notably with CadZZilla, a 1948 Cadillac Sedanette. But the Eliminator is the one that gets invited to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where it makes periodic appearances. It can certainly claim the title of Most Famous Car In Rock.
