“Rough Boy” was the third single by American rock band ZZ Top from their album Afterburner. The song reached #5 on the Mainstream Rock charts and #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as #23 in the UK Top 40. Unlike the other songs on the album, this song has a much slower tempo and is more of a power ballad. It also shares a similar, though much slower, tune to their song “Leila” from their album El Loco.

Music video:
The music video (directed by Steve Barron) features the bands “Eliminator” car/space shuttle hybrid (from the Afterburner album cover) visiting a space car wash, interspersed with images of the band members’ hands and faces, as well as a woman’ legs, protruding from metal plates, some of which double as lighted message signs or crosswalk signals.
