It\u2019s been 30+ years since Billy Squire unleashed his debut single \u201cThe Stroke,\u201d and gave teenage boys everywhere a reason to grab their instruments and get strokin\u2019. Now, Enuff Z\u2019nuff just gave them one more! The classic hard rock group, who this year celebrate their 30th anniversary, just released a light-hearted and sexy video for their cover version of Squire\u2019s rock anthem. The video, directed by David Stekert, stars Enuff Z\u2019nuff founder, bassist, singer and namesake, Chip Z\u2019nuff, fronting an all female band who romp their way through the song at double speed, like a Benny Hill sketch trapped in a studio rehearsal room. The video also features a guest appearance by Jesse Camp, everyone\u2019s favorite shaggy-haired stoner and winner of MTV\u2019s first \u201cWanna Be A VJ\u201d contest in 1998!<\/div>\n

Established in Blue Island, IL 1984, Enuff Z\u2019nuff scored its first major success in 1989 with their gold-selling debut album, containing the hit singles \u201cNew Thing\u201d and \u201cFly High Michelle.\u201d In 1991, the second album Strength appeared, which had Rolling Stone magazine calling them \u201cThe Hot Band Of The Year\u201d as well as earning them numerous appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman. The mid-late \u201890s brought difficult changes, but Chip kept the Enuff Z\u2019nuff torch burning with several tours both Stateside and overseas as well a steady stream of well-received studio albums. Earlier this year the band released its first ever covers album, Covered In Gold, a collection of 12 eclectic cover tunes from Bowie\u2019s \u201cThe Jean Genie\u201d and Nirvana\u2019s \u201cAll Apologies\u201d to Prince\u2019s \u201cWhen Doves Cry\u201d and Smokey Robinson\u2019s \u201cTears Of A Clown,\u201d all of which showcase this group\u2019s incredibly diverse yet supremely melodic sensibility. Covered In Gold, like Enuff Z\u2019nuff, is further testament to the timeless appeal of great rock melodies, and not to be missed by fans of Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, and Paul Stanley. As David Letterman says of the group, \u201cWhen it comes to Rock N\u2019 Roll, you don\u2019t need anybody else.\u201d<\/div>\n
