very funny to me that in the music video for "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top the titular Sharp Dressed Man is not any of the guys in ZZ Top. There is a completely different guy who is Sharp Dressed. The ZZ Top guys show up and they look like shit! they're wearing coats indoors.
in sunglasses at night corey hart only puts the sunglasses on for a very brief amount of time
AFAIK the band understood that 3 middle-aged blokes posing as 'sharp dressed men' would be ridiculous, so they decided to hire actors and appear as some sort of rock n roll ghosts in their videos of that era.
In my capacity as a random passer-by whose knowledge of ZZ Top is "Isn't that those two guys with the beards?", I theorize that they couldn't agree on which of them gets to be the sharp dressed man, and were too prescriptivist to have multiple sharp dressed men when the title is clearly singular
And the moustsche guy’s last name is Beard!

they're the three ghosts of future cool times
They should take them off or they won't feel the good of them when they go outside
They’ve inverted the trope of of “nice guys™️” complaining about how girls only like “bad boys.”
That song rocks, great album, too. *Admires ZZ Top boxset*
ZZTop is a unique band. Can you name another band that was like bluesy/sleazy southern rock and went 80s sci-fi synth pop and met with such success?
