SHANIA TWAIN - THAT DON'T IMPRESS ME MUCH
I've Known A Few Guys Who Thought They Were Pretty Smart
But You've Got Being Right Down To An Art
You Think You're A Genius-You Drive Me Up The Wall
You're A Regular Original, A Know-It-All
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Special
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Something Else
Okay, So You're A Rocket Scientist
That Don't Impress Me Much
So You Got The Brain But Have You Got The Touch
Don't Get Me Wrong, Yeah I Think You're Alright
But That Won't Keep Me Warm In The Middle Of The Night
That Don't Impress Me Much
I Never Knew A Guy Who Carried A Mirror In His Pocket
And A Comb Up His Sleeve-Just In Case
And All That Extra Hold Gel In Your Hair Oughtta Lock It
'Cause Heaven Forbid It Should Fall Outta Place
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Special
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Something Else
Okay, So You're Brad Pitt
That Don't Impress Me Much
So You Got The Looks But Have You Got The Touch
Don't Get Me Wrong, Yeah I Think You're Alright
But That Won't Keep Me Warm In The Middle Of The Night
That Don't Impress Me Much
You're One Of Those Guys Who Likes To Shine His Machine
You Make Me Take Off My Shoes Before You Let Me Get In
I Can't Believe You Kiss Your Car Good Night
C'mon Baby Tell Me-You Must Be Jokin', Right!
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Special
Oh-Oo-Oh, You Think You're Something Else
Okay, So You've Got A Car
That Don't Impress Me Much
So You Got The Moves But Have You Got The Touch
Don't Get Me Wrong, Yeah I Think You're Alright
But That Won't Keep Me Warm In The Middle Of The Night
That Don't Impress Me Much
You Think You're Cool But Have You Got The Touch
Don't Get Me Wrong, Yeah I Think You're Alright
But That Won't Keep Me Warm On The Long, Cold, Lonely Night
That Don't Impress Me Much
Okay, So What Do You Think You're Elvis Or Something...
Oo-Oh-Oh
That Don't Impress Me Much!
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-No
Alright! Alright!
You're Tarzan!
Captain Kirk Maybe
John Wayne
Whatever!
That Don't Impress Me Much!
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Shania Twain, Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Producer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange
This Sassy Single Was Written By Shania Twain And Her Producer/Husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange. It Finds Shania Singing About Various Guys Who Are Full Of Themselves - For Good Reason. But Despite Their Exceptional Talents And Attributes, They Don't Impress Her. She's Looking For A Guy Who Will Keep Her "Warm In The Middle Of The Night."
Twain Had Seven #1 Country Hits By The Time This Song Was Released, But It Proved More Popular To Pop Audiences, Stalling At #8 On The Country Chart But Reaching #7 On The Hot 100. Much Of This Can Be Attributed To Mutt Lange's Production, Which Retained Only A Hint Of Twang But Filled The Spectrum With Lots Of Hooky Background Vocals. The Subject Matter Also Helped - Women Could Relate To The Guys She Sings About No Matter Where They Live.
Shania Namechecks Both Elvis And Brad Pitt In This Song. Her Selections Held Up Well, As Elvis' Legend Has Only Grown With Time, And Brad Pitt Stood Up Into The '10s As A Male Sex Symbol. Tom Cruise Would Have Been A Shakier Choice.
Shania Twain's Reference To Brad Pitt Was Inspired By Nude Photos Of The Actor Being Published In Playgirl Magazine.
This Is Twain's Third-Biggest Single On The Hot 100, Following Two Other Come On Over Tracks: "You're Still The One" (#2) And "From This Moment On" (#4). It Was Her Biggest Hit In The Uk, Where It Sold 763,000 Copies, And Also Topped The Singles Charts In Belgium, Ireland, Norway And The Netherlands.
