Weirdo Wednesday: Watch ZZ Top Become Trapped In ’80s Excess & Hot Pink With “Velcro Fly” Video

With its stiff, almost robotic choreography and a spinning truck that defies any kind of logic, it feels less like the gritty band behind La Grange and more like an episode of Saved by the Bell gone off the rails.

And while you’re at it, take another look at the Afterburner cover—did you ever notice the three members’ faces floating out there in space?
