"Gimme All Your Lovin'" is a song by ZZ Top from their 1983 album Eliminator. The song was released as the album's first single in 1983 (see 1983 in music).
Initially unsuccessful in the UK upon its early 1984 release, in the wake of the band's American success, it was promptly re-released and reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart. It ties with 1992's "Viva Las Vegas" as their highest-charting single in the UK.
