Lyrics:
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
Ain't no doubt about it baby it's you I aim to please
I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
It's my life baby but I don't care
Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)
For you baby I would swim the sea
Nothing I'd do for you that's too tuff for me
I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt
And not even worry about getting hurt
Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)
I use to work at Cactus Records and Tapes in the early 80’s in Houston, Texas. There was a gentleman that worked in the Classical Music department. His name was John Ferguson I believe. He was the father of Keith Ferguson (bass) player for The Fabulous Thunderbirds. I use to play Tough Enough when I worked the record booth and Mr. Ferguson would give me a wave and a thumbs up. What a truly wonderful and kind man he was. I was one of the very few employees that would play classical music when I worked the record booth also. He would always get a big smile and thank me. Just a great man. 👍🏻✌🏻
The original bass player… Keith was gone by the time this album came out, for those that don’t know.
@@Texasbluestunes I guess he wasn't tuff enuff
This song never gets old
Agreed! I was 29 when this came out and now I'm still dancing around the room 😂
AL 'HERCULES' BUNDY'S THEME SONG!
You've got to be tough to cons as clowns of this world. No lying's my brothers and sisters!
" Tough Enough "
czcams.com/video/EcXT1clXc04/video.htmlsi=rnePeYEGDfmkqWdG
Exercise enough You'll be tough
You can't always call ones bluff
No matter as much you are gruff
You can huff an puff off the cuff
Be ready for stuff to get rough
1989? The world lost Jimmie's younger brother too soon. 😭
Who’s here because we love the 80s
I’m here because you’re gay
That's a fact
In my opinion - this was a very under rated band. Liked every song they ever recorded.
agreed, underrated band
Isn't it time to get tough? That all starts when you hit the weight pile
It empowers you and feeds your brain with endorphins, not to mention increasing your muscle mass which fights off all sicknesses and other viruses. T-cells! you only get one body, build it up and maintain strenth and mobility living a longer and more rewarding life free of sicknesses and diseases..
My way to be tough enough-
Igreat song but it kinda feels like it was copied from Legs by ZZ Top..
Nawww!!
It's almost 2024 and this song is STILL a classic. One of the best 80's rock tunes ever. 🙂
Yup. That Jimmie Vaughn groove is unmatched.
One of the best ROCK TUNES... PERIOD!!
Oh, those poor old women…
Very true.
❤😂❤
No autotune, no computer tricks, just pure talent, How I miss real music like this
I didn't appreciate them when I was little but now I'm obsessed with them! They were beyond their time back in the 80s! Love these guys!
YEPPPP :)
Funny how time works.
Yes
My great taste in music brought me here.
Me too!
My precious sweet Daddy passed away suddenly 18 months ago. This was one of his favorite songs.
And women doing real stuff in addition to looking good! Blessings to your papa!
Kim,. God bless you and your family, with love, John.
I'm sorry 😞
Was one of my fathers fav songs too, and he died over 20 years ago. People say it's gets better but it really doesn't, you just learn to live with it.
@@solidtank7957 I’m sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers. I cry everyday because I miss my Daddy so much. I really don’t see it getting any easier either.
I was 18 and had a 79 Lincoln Town Car back in 1985 and went to a topless bar in New Jersey, had a beer 🍺 and watched the dancer dance to this Song on stage ! Great music and memories !!!👍🔥
That sounds cool. Some Jersey girls are just plain gifted...
That sounds magnificent.
Nothing ikecan old Lincoln. I got an 84 myself. It's the smoothest ride.
I was a 20 year old dancer in 🇨🇦 1985
I had a Fabulous Thunderbird's set and I drove a 79' Lincoln Town Car 💜
Been there done that in every jersey dump lolwith 72 Cadillac & I was 16 lol
The greatest concert I seen was Double Trouble and Fabulous T+Birds at Red Rocks back in the day. Jimmy and Stevie playing together.❤ Wow.
Jimmie Lawrence taught his little brother Stevie Ray how to play that guitar
Lucky you!
With Stevie Ray too, Omg lucky!! I only saw the FTB’s w/ B. B. King @ a blues fest. Can’t tell you how many chances I had to see SRV & didn’t, huge regret.
@@KittyGrizGriz, You can watch it !
The Fabulous Thunderbirds and
Stevie Ray Vaughan- Tuff Enuff

On the
SRV Music Video channel
Plus the whole Concert on other
SRV Videos
@@jimthomas1989 🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️ thank you! 😁
I just walked into a bar and this was playing...
I said. "Oh shit. This is Good!"
This dudes voice is absolutely incredible!!
Kim Wilson now age 70.
yep
how bout some werewolve music
time to jam
He rules and I mean he rules like pharaoh,with signet ring and scepter "let it be written,let it be done"
I'm being honest here I'm black too.When it comes to good ass music there ain't no color I've been playing guitar for years.This is one of my favorite bands.
When I was a kid my parents took me to a big concert in downtown Dallas. I stood right in front of these guys and SRV when he played. Jimmy Vaughn & Stevie Ray. Not two months later SRV had been killed. I could never forget that show & I'm eternally grateful to my parents for helping me see such greatness before being taken so soon. Rock on Mr Vaughn!
Wow! You're lucky. My parents introduced me to soooo much music. SRV was one of them. I remember hearing he died. So sad.
Jimmie has natural swag and has had it long before anyone knew what that was! This band is so underrated and this video is just 80’s gold!
Do you know who the drummer is in this video and is he left handed ?
That is the truth. He can squeeze tears out of that git.
80s gold ? More like platinum. 🤘👍🏻👍🏻
This was popular in Fema Region 6.
Jimmie & Stevie legends.
I'm a African american woman and I remember this song way back when and I still love this song.
no doubt!
One of the most under rated bad ass rock songs from the 80’s.
I always crank the eff out of this song when it comes on.
A true masterpiece feel Good song .
It surely made me feel good this morning when it came across the " Sounds of the Season" on TV. I had to share on Facebook afterwards.
Great story too !
Nothing like letting your neighbors enjoy good music. 😅
@@elizaf4663Imagine still using facebook lmao 🤣
Man, do I miss the 80s!? What a time! This world has gone mad in the last 20 years or so!! Yikes! Thankfully we got CZcams!!
Great music. No frills, no over this or that. No dancing. Just laying down a groove.
No dancing? Did you even watch the video?
That base is killer in this song one great song
*Macho-Rock!!*
"I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear."🦁🐻
Love the pure machismo of this song, excellent!
Listen to it now and then and still love it. Song hits home for me. I was a pipefitter and played in a rock band. The women do such a good job helping to make this a superb video. Great beat. Fast cars, good whiskey and good looking women. Worked hard to.
The most masculine declaration of love in the history of music... 💪
This still jams. Lead singer has got a great soulful voice.
Kim Wilson now age 70.
I always thought it was Tom Jones...
amother union song comming up

Stevie Ray's brother, Jimmy...
#TuffEnuff #TheFabulousThunderbirds #80sMusic.. It's the new year 2024..is anyone else still loving this with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV? If so, you're tough enough to learn something.
2024. Still rockin this!!
Late nights, and having to keep those 18 tires turning to stay on schedule, this song was among the tunes needed to keep the truck and myself alert and rolling down the asphalt.
When asked who was the better guitar player, Stevie Ray Vaughan replied, “My brother, Jimmie.”
Jimmie ?
@@perttirasa7026❤😂❤
Jimmy taught Stevie Ray Vaughan how to play guitar 🎸. Jimmy lived down the street from us
I'm from Oak Cliff Stevie Rays and Jimmie neghborhood and Jimmie was a few years older and better early on , by his 20's SRV was way better and just being nice here cause he loved his big bro and tried to give him a lot of credit....but top guitar players like Clapton, Van Halen and others would say SRV was one of the best guitar players on the face of the earth and even they were in awe of him, as I was seeing him a dozen times before he ever got famous and he was already incredible you wondered why he wasnt world famous yet.
Classic.
Aaah The 80s. The choreography, the girls, The Fab T-Birds . Man do I miss SRV. RIP brother.
Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Eli Wallach . . . and a great script and story line . . with a FANTASTIC theme song. Don't get any better. Yeah, definitely Tough Enough !
Awesome movie
WHEN MUSIC WAS SOOO GOOD !
Friends for years, Legends for life, Tough Guys forever! Tough guys! they know how to do everything. except act their age. LOL!
Harry and Archie brought me here! LOL!
LOVE The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Some of the best music of that generation.
Jimmy lights that Strat on fire and burns it down never missing a note. Ain’t that tough enough?!
Terrific song. Loved it then and love it now.
In terms of declaring your love for your woman, this is right up there with "I Walk the Line".
Turning on a radio is painful these days. We took good music for granted back in the day.
Truth!!
The Fabulous Thunderbirds are pure Texas rock and roll love you guys
Yes I’m here and it is 3/17/2024 and this song is great
3/25/24
Best concert I have ever been to ❤
I agree with you 110%
What kind of feeling do you have as a musician when you are playing in front of 50,000 people who love your music and you play a 40 year old song and you see Stones fans around 50 together
The fabulous thunderbirds simply rock.
Ohh yeah i remember this tune Luv it!!!!
Daniel Laubach , that guy is Jimmy Ray Vaughn , he is the brother of Stevie Ray Vaughn , both could play guitar great
Right on
Exactly
Listen to 'Why Get Up' every morning before I have to go to my crappy job, and that song both indulges me & pokes me to get a better job 😁
From now on, when I hit the gym, I’m gonna workout to this song just like our good old friend Al Bundy.
czcams.com/video/zyHb_HQG9YY/video.html
Then you gotta chase it with George Thoroughgood Bad to the Bone.
The Polk High legend
Lol
Im gonna serve drinks with no shirt on to this song
Jimmy Vaughan is such a cool guy, great great player too!
The genetics as well. Love ya Jimmie! RIP SRV💗💗💪⚡️💪
He's the older brother of the late, great, Stevie Ray Vaughan
Lived too much in the shadow of Stevie. He is a great guitarist
If you’re a 80s baby from Texas, then you gotta love this song. It became the state’s theme song and played every commercial break during Saturday morning cartoons 🤣🤣🤣
Probably the best song that came out that year. The Fabulous T-birds were SO COOL!
THIS TUNE KICK'S ASS !!!! Kim is singing it right in the pocket !! I am now 56 and this was a classic in 86' when it hit ! Timeless tune , 2019 still !!!
Hit gold
There's NOTHING "tuff" about this video,.....EXCEPT the song......itself!! A "GOOD" SONG, THOUGH!! Thanks for the upload!! 😁
This Song Always Plays When I Look In The Mirror!
✊🏾
Awww Yeah :-)
Wow
It was an honor going to the Greek amphitheater in LA lo those many years ago and watching The Fabulous Thunderbirds open for SRV. What an amazing show it was!
The best song you'll ever hear by your dad and his bowling buddies.
Pin pals
LOL!!!!!!! One of the greatest comments!
One of the best videos ever made. Saw these guy live and they were earth shacking. Keep Austin Weird.
Austin sucks now just like San Francisco sucks. Weirdos ruined both of them.
@@T.R.R.Jolkienjust in your delusional head.
@@KittyGrizGriz I’m pretty sure most Texans agree with me. What’s your favorite part? All the homeless encampments or the lawless zombies walking around or is it the huge crime levels there? So much filth to chose from…. Let us know
@timothyk2989 I can’t stand the racist~fascists led by the GQP taking away women~girls HEALTHCARE and anonymity rights. Go Woke or Go Broke and vote them out, vote 🔵😉. Personally know many TX peeps who feel the same as me; gerrymandered and making it hard to vote is the only way they can win; we’re on to their con game.peace out.
They were one of THE coolest bands in The 80s
lol
No lie !!! Just sitting here reflecting on seeing them in Bossier City, Louisiana....
Chevy's !!! We were just in the moment, enjoying the music 🎶 🎵 😎 ❤ I sooooo should've been in this video 📹 😢 Lord knows I had the hair for it lmbo 😂❤🤍💙😛
❤️ And they knew it but not egotistical ❤️ just good ole boys
Oh, for sure!
If you’re still loving this in 2021 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV.. then you’re tough enough to learn something.
I saw them in concert two times in the 80's, here in Italy, with this lineup. They were amazing. The second time, at the end of the show Fran Cristina gave me the drumsticks (wow, thank you!). I'd love to enjoy other times like those. Thank you Fabulous Thunderbirds!
Makes me proud to be Native American.❤
Hell yeah.
I'm African American and my friends say how do you know this song I tellem bro you gotta be Tough Enough to know this song
+Kent White or you can just read the lyrics on a video, but the tough guy thing works also.
+Kent White Amen to that!
too funny remind me of a guy in a bar I Used to Know
+Kent White hahahaha
Hey I read your review on this song & I like the song but I listened to the lyrics & found out that the song is basically the same song originally done by Muddy Waters but Muddy Waters song came out in the 60s it's
called " Just To Be With You " the blues song has a different melody but the lyrics are almost identical, check it out when you get a chance.
Saw these guys once by accident. Was sitting in a bar with a friend. They just walked in and played an impromptu set.
That's a just ridiculous enough story that I believe you
It was no accident 😉🙏
@@HB4450 It happens when bands are working on a tour or album. Try out material before an audience. How it sounds live.
they and srv did that alot in dallas and austin...the Vaughan bros were popular and in bands as kids too in Dallas area
Nice👌
So glad I grew up in the 80's songs like this will be legendary
The lead singer had soul!
"If I can train my daughter to hold a thought, then I can train my body to hold my wife."
AL BUNDY
Yeah!!!!!
I miss Al
Fuckin right...al was the man
Hell Yeah! Al Bundy rocked!
👍🍻
I actually just got a call from my father. He's playing Guitar for the Thunderbirds this summer on tour! Can't wait to see him and them!
AWESOME
That’s cool as shit saw them at Harrington fair in Delaware a couple years ago
Can I go as well ..I am only 76 ...🤤
35-37 Years later, I still listen to this song on my way to work. All 7 Ladies are cute, sexy, sultry and extremely talented dancers. I wonder to where they ended up.
All respect to the other dancers on that video, but the brunette forklift operator brings me to my knees everytime she looks in the camera!
Yeah, the one with the pigtails ... she's still fun in 2023 I'm sure :-)
You all are very kind; love reading these comments
😻
Damn right 👍
@@joakley7471I watched this today and realized she looks like my wife in her youth.
#TuffEnuff #TheFabulousThunderbirds #80smusic It's 2023.. still loving this classic with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV.. anyone else?
I'm 74 and these guys still rock my brain.
Here's another old fart.😬
Greetings from Germany.
I'm 65 and if my left foot wasn't broke I'd have been "cutting a rug" with my one year old great grandson!
@@juliabrister4990 ❤️ so sweet!!
Never too old to rock and roll!
Cuz you're 74 :)
What a great band. You can rock to this song, unlike what is out there today!
80's baby. In spades. ♠️
Such a great song, the music is incredible
Hands down this one of the best songs & videos of the mighty 80's
Are ya sure it wasn't earlier? Seems to me it was but hey no matter when my 32 yr old caught me listening to it he knew I was Bonified. Enjoy.
I believe it was from 1987 or 1988. I remember driving to and from college on the weekend in the late 80s with the driver's side window down and the radio cranked!
@@larryh.4629 1986. Tough Guys featured this song when Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster kick the Mexican Federales in deez nuts to end the movie.
Them Vaughan boys knew how to play a guitar
read srvs bio...very interesting
LOL....
Eye herd they knew how two play geetar
And the Vaughan nephew
You got that RIGHT
Yeah They Did
I love the dance choreography in this video! Those women move in such nicely enthusiastic rhythm!
~Dutch
Saw them in Tulsa @ a Blues Fest w/ B. B. King great band & show. What a sexy song~meaning, whew! Yep, you’re sure tuff enuff for me guys! 😘
When I see the Man upstairs I will thank him hugely on being alive when Rock n' Roll first started. I will hit 78 this summer and I've seen most ALL the major acts live in person... Ray Charles, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bill Haley & The Comets, The Platters, LaVern Baker, Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin, Ike & Tina Turner Revue, Tina as solo, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Freddy Cannon, The Crystals, The Shirelles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, and many, many more. What awesome memories!
I'm 70 and I was at a bunch of those concerts in the 60s 70s 80s
I was a Little behind ya. I saw, Marshall Tucker, ZZ Top, Bad Company, Aerosmith, Jethro Tull, Seals and Crofts, the Doobie Brothers, Queen, Foghat, R.E.O. Speedwagon, Robert Palmer, (Joe Walsh, Allman Brothers I think) and took 3 Ladies to see Elvis-LOL. Maybe some more like "Yes" but my memory isn't like it used to be. Ha Ha. Glad I grew up in the Greatest Generation. Feel so sorry for these Communist Brainwashed Nut Heads of this Generation. The sad part is they don't even want to know what they missed out on.
Keep Rockin brother👍
Very cool mr. Very cool 👍😎.
@@mitchrawles I was raised by the drummer on Marshall Tucker
Jimmie's rhythm tone and groove are second to NONE on this tune!
When this song came out my cassette in my old Pontiac malfunctioned. This tape got stuck in it for three weeks, I didn't mind a bit. I cranked it on the way to work, on the way home and on weekends. Ah.. the good old days. 👍👍👍
I hear this on the radio while working at taco Bell all the time
i never thought this kind of music would ever come to an end. then it ended. at least we have our memories!
1986, I was 12, me and my stepdad would be doing hard work and I remember this song coming on. He was a working guy just like I am today. I accomplished a great deal being tough enough, lol. Not a thing I ever hire help for.
Just wrap it up, I'll take it.
This Al Bundy's theme song for anything,anytime! 4 touchdowns in one game!!!!!😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember hearing this song in the movie Tough Guys and in a training video when I went to a summer camp at the police academy three weeks before I left for the navy. This song still sounds as good as it always has. It never lost its touch. These guys are really great
Perfect homage to Burt Lancaster kirk douglas
@@davidmedeiros2856 Absolutely
I remember hearing this in that movie. Also it was an old wrestling tag teams entrance theme
The movie Tough Guys was also the first time I heard Red Hot Chili Peppers.
@@gregoryrobertson6866 I remember that scene too
Someone called me crazy today for listening to this awesome Jam I said you'll get there LOL!!
Love this song, the music is so perfect, lead singer is incredible.
This has got to be at least in the top ten music videos that I have ever seen ❤
Jimmy is smoking here. That hair ,those red shoes and a chilling guitar tone.
Yes, what a looker he was the best looking blues picker imo! Those are red cowboy boots and yes that absolutely is different than shoes especially for Texans. Lol
They are HOTT
This is another classic that was on my favorite sitcom of all-time married with children now that show had good music on it back in the day.
Who woulda ever thought that the guy with 3 #1 Hits would be the 2nd most famous brother to the one who had no #1 Hits, R.I.P SRV.
Anyone else remember playing this and many more of their greatest hits on the jukebox? Playing pool and jamming out with friends.
LMC - I seem to recall something along those lines.
Love Kim Wilson's singing and harmonica playing.
I got to see these guys back in 2004, and they were fan-tastic. Kim Wilson is quite possibly the greatest living harmonica player on the planet--he goes so hard even hurricanes step back and say 'damn, son.'
Saw them twice in Georgia! They were fantastic!!!
Over the years I have just loved this band, I just can’t stop listening to them! How many people out there feel the same way I do?
Absolutely, how can one not.
But they’re only this - hit wonder
First heard this song when I watched "Tough guys"....like it
That is an underrated movie. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are in it too, when Kirk Douglas goes clubbing in 1980s California. "Gung Ho" which Kevin Steele mentioned is another good one, very similar to when Toyota took over managing a GM plant to build Geo Prisms. (It went from GM's least performing plant to their best.)
***** still have the movie channel now its free though with showtime i think
Gung Ho when he's driving the golf cart around with the aviators! Yes!
All around great band. Kim's soulful vocals, Jimmie's guitar and the rest of the band was tight!
Oh tragic we lost your brother 😢..ty for sharing him with us
Have always loved this song.
Love the Fabulous Thunderbirds!!!!!
No one else’s guitar sounds like the Vaughan brothers. Insane, titanic tone.
This song still inspires today!! Brings back great memories along the way!!!
Super hard hitting song !!!!! Comes on strong, stays strong and ends strong !!!
One of the best songs ever, LOVE IT.
