[5] A video was made for "Legs", depicting a timid young female store clerk who is given confidence by a trio of sexy women, with the band mysteriously appearing and disappearing.

"Legs" contains electric guitar and vocals from Gibbons, but the bass guitar of Dusty Hill and drums of Frank Beard were replaced in the final mix by engineer Terry Manning who played keyboard bass and drum machine to achieve the style sought by Gibbons.

On the inspiration for the song, Billy Gibbons said, "We were driving in a rainstorm to the studio back in Texas when we spotted a woman who was getting drenched and wanted us to pull over to provide a ride.

[9] To give the song a sense of propulsion, Hudson created an unusual synthesizer sound by routing the synth's audio signal through a noise gate that was triggered externally by continual sixteenth-note hi-hat samples from a drum machine.

[11] The "Legs" music video follows a mousy young female shoe store clerk who is harassed by nearly everyone around her with exception being an admiring cafe waiter and a group of tough looking but friendly bikers.

The band shimmers in and out of visibility, spinning their sheepskin-covered guitars, while the trio pretty up her make up and attire, adding more moxie to her personality.

Finally ZZ Top provide the clerk the keys to the Eliminator, which she and the waiter use to race away to a new life.

Newman bargained hard and asked for "points"—a percentage of the profit—but Warner feared this would set an expensive precedent.

[16] The "Legs" video concept started with Newman suggesting that the main character should be a young woman this time.

This was Herrin's first ZZ Top video, and established Eliminator models Tomasino and Arnaud tended to push her to the rear.

[19] Gibbons said that he kept in touch with Herrin for years afterward, calling her a "groovy hippie chick from Santa Barbara".

Fabricated by Matthew Klein, the Gibsons were purposely made lighter in construction than the Deans, weighing about six pounds each (2.7 kg).
