SHERYL CROW - ALL I WANNA DO
Hit It
This Ain't No Disco
This Ain't No Country Club Either
This Is La!
All I Wanna Do Is Have A Little Fun Before I Doe
Says A Man Next To Me, Outta Nowhere
This Apropos Nothing, He Says His Name Is William
But I'm Sure It's Bil, Or Billy, Or Mac Or Buddy
And He's Plain Ugly To Me
And I Wonder If He's Ever Had A Day Of Fun In His Whole Life
We Are Drinking Beer At Noon On Tuesday
In A Bar That Faces A Giant Car Wash
The Good People Of The World Are Washing Their Cars
On Their Unch Break
Hosing And Scrubbing As Best They Can In Skirts And Suits
They Drive Their Shiny Datsons And Buicks
Back To The Phone Company, The Record Store Too
Well, They're Nothing Like Billy And Me, 'Cause
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
Until The Sun Comes Up Over Santa Moonia Boulevard
I Like A Good Beer Buzz Early In The Morning
And Billy Likes To Peel The Labels
From His Bottles Of Bud
He Shreds Them On The Bar
And He Lights Every Match In An Oversized Pack
Letting Each One Burn Down To His Thick Fingers
Before Blowing And Cursing Them Out – And He's Watching
The Bottles Of Bud As They Spin On The Floor
And A Happy Couple Enters The Bar
Dangerously Close To One Another
The Bartender Looks Up From His Want Ads
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
Untill The Sun Comes Up Over Santa Monica Boulevard
Otherwise The Bar Is Ours. The Day And The Night
And The Car Wash Too, The Matches And The Buds
And The Clean And Dirty Cars, The Sun And The Moon
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
I Got A Feeling I'm Not The Only One
All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun
Untill The Sun Comes Up Over Santa Monica Boulevard
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Sheryl Crow, Kevin Gilbert, Bill Bottrell, Wyn Cooper. David Baerwald
Producer(s): Bottrell
This Song Reflects The Laid-Back Los Angeles Lifestyle, But Crow Grew Up In A Small Missouri Town. She Later Moved To Los Angeles To Pursue Her Music Career.
The Single Is A Remix, A Little Shorter And More Radio-Friendly Than The Album Version.
This Won Grammys For Record Of The Year And Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Crow Thanked The Members Of The Tuesday Night Music Club In Her Speech, But Many Of Them Felt They Were Not Given Enough Credit For Her Success.
This Got A Lot Of Airplay On Top 40 Radio. After A While, Stations Edited Out Most Of The Vocal Intro ("This Ain't No Disco..."), So It Started With Crow Saying "This Is La," And Going Right Into The Verse.
The Line, "We Were Drinking Beer At Noon On Tuesday," Reflects What The Tuesday Night Music Club Did. They Usually Got Together For Drinks Before Trying To Write Songs.
Crow Recorded An Album Before Tuesday Night Music Club, But She Hated The Way It Sounded. She Convinced Her Record Company To Scrap It And Let Her Try Again. This Was The Result.
This Song Also Broke Sheryl Crow In The Uk, Where She Mirrored Her American Triumphs. "All I Wanna Do" Went To #4 In Britain In November 1994, A Month After It Hit #2 In America.
In The Music Video, Crow And Her Band Perform Outside Of The Roxy Theater In Clarksville, Tennessee, While Characters Float Overhead To Watch Them Play. David Hogan, Who Was At The Helm For Crow's Debut Clip "Leaving Las Vegas," Returned As Director.
A Longer Version Exists With True Blood Actor Gregory Sporleder Playing The Role Of Billy, Who Is Mentioned Throughout The Song. Billy's Shadow Can Still Be Seen In The Edited Version.
