Congratulations to Jay & Amber for their 1400th Video!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Man, Heart could really belt it out, couldn't they! I look forward to future reactions of "Heartless", "Dog & Butterfly", "Never" and "What About Love". How can you not love the Wilson sisters?
Ann Wilson has one of the greatest voices in rock & roll and in the beginning, nobody expected that from her or knew she possessed that voice. Ann and Nancy Wilson are rock gold.
LOL! Lots of reactors are kind of shocked by this song, especially the fellows. The woman wanted a child, which her man couldn’t give her, so apparently, she engaged in these one-night stands until she encountered this one guy who did give her a baby. “So we found this hotel. It was a place I knew well.” There had been others. Ann and Nancy were never huge fans of the song because they didn’t agree with that kind of behavior. We fans love it, though! Glad you liked it.
@darktitan6308 I saw it as saving his ego and their marriage, you know how sensitive you men are LOL! She knew it was his fault, he was probably blaming her LOL!
Totally goofy lyric, but so what?? It's all about one of the most powerful, capable rock bands of all time with vocals that could scrape the paint off the ceiling. VOCALS, percussion, guitars - - the production is untouchable.
Such a powerful song... I grew up listening to this song as my dad was a Heart fan. When I married my husband his life dream was to be a dad. We found out 2 yrs in that he was steril. This song was brought up to me several times but luckily it wasn't our solution as a relative got pregnant with a baby boy she couldn't afford but didn't want to abort. Our son started pre-K this yr. He knows he's super lucky to have been born with bonus parents. A stable mom & dad who take care of him & a mom & dad who visit when they can. I'm so happy you guys reviewed this beautiful song.
I love how lovely Amber is enjoying the record, sonically, and Jay keeps on stopping it in disbelief hahaha!! God, I love these two! Great record by Heart, written and produced by Mutt "cheater" Lange.
I find it interesting that Heart did not like this song and stopped performing it. I thought it was one of the best story telling songs ever... I always liked it.
I always request that song on the few reaction channels I'm subscribed. Never gets played. I think the songs by bands that didn't get much airplay are the best, for instance "Lady Luck" by Journey, "Little Miss Lovin'" by Chicago, "Night Flight" by Zepp, the list goes on. I also wish there were reactions to the band "UFO." They were amazing.
I love the look on Jay's face as he's listening to the second verse and understanding the plotline... and then the third verse when it all comes together.
Thank you so much for your comment about the song "Stranded". I thought I had heard every song of Hearts, but I’ve never seen or heard this song. I had to go pull it up as soon as I read your comment & came straight back here after watching it to Thank You!! ✌️☮️
While not the Heart song I was truly hoping for, ('Never') it's still an awesome song with a heck of a twist in the story. Also happy birthday again Amber! :D
I loved watching Jay's expressions. 😄 This is a very scandalous song, one that Ann has admitted makes her very uncomfortable to perform, and dislikes it due to its message. Yet, it's one of their biggest hits. 🤷
Ann Wilson has referred to this song as part of their sellout era when they comprised their values to sell records, The song was written by Shania Twain's ex husband Mutt Lange and while Heart had some reservations they gave in and recorded it. Recently Ann has rewritten some of the lyrics to change the narrative since she always said she felt very uncomfortable performing the original version. Interesting video with new version ua-cam.com/video/nc97E9AnhRU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AnnWilsonofHeart
My all time favorite Heart song. Love the story and the video is perfect for the song. Happy Birthday Amber!!! ROTFL...the expressions on your faces is just priceless. Didn't expect that ending, did you?
This is the best reaction video I’ve ever seen you guys do. Jay, I was dying with laughter at your reaction The entire time. Back when this song came out people were having the same reaction. I remember when Mason Dixon on Q105 played this song on the show for the very first time, He actually stopped the song while It was playing. Thanks for the laughs and the memories.
These Dreams is another slower one that Nancy actually leads on. I can't recall if you did that one yet or not but it's another of my favorites of theirs.
This song has the simplest of meanings. She was married to her love. He was not able to give her a child. While driving around, if she saw an attractive man, she would pick him up for a night of lovemaking. As the song says, she took him to a motel she knew well. This wasn't the first guy she had taken there. Once she got pregnant, she was satisfied.
Yes it is.. I just saw Heart at the Allstate Arena and they didn’t sing this one, I looked on UA-cam and I guess Ann doesn’t like singing that song because she thinks it’s creepy, I have to disagree with her on that one
Sweet Reactions! Happy Birthday, Amber!!! 🤘💜🤘 Here's a fun fact about Ann Wilson. At the prime age of 72, she will be performing at this year's Wacken Open Air Festival, in Germany. Known as one of the largest Heavy Metal festivals in the world.
This is one of the most played songs in my personal playlist. such a powerful song and story. I would also like to point out that the folks from Halestorm do an absolutely amazing cover of this song! also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!
I am so so proud of you two!! Amber says “today we’ve got Heart” and Jay - “The Wilson Sisters!” You have learned sooo much since you started the channel. Great job! ♥️
I'm dying, he's is sooooooo offended! LOL He is so confused why she just ditched him! I grew up with this song, this was so fun watching you guys be surprised by it. And I love that I keep seeing videos with you wearing Def Leppard shirts, I was obsessed with them from middle school on. They were my band. Love you guys. And hope you had a happy birthday!!!!!!!
Great video to go along with the story told. Emotional, powerful, timeless. An older Heart song I wasn’t familiar with. Glad I got to see it with the two of you. Big smile and a tear in this reaction.
I absolutely loved watching Jay's reaction! I was anxiously awaiting his reaction to the reveal lol Another one of my favorite songs of all time.......
Happy Birthday Amber...again! 🤣 I saw "Dog and the Butterfly" suggested and that's a good one from Heart. I am in love with Ann Wilson's voice! You gotta get back to Teena Marie. Check out "Out On A Limb" you'll love it! Jay's facial expression during this song is worth watching alone.
My husband hates this song because she used this guy selfishly for her own reasons. It's a great song, but you have to feel sorry for the poor young guy.
Again I’ll say Heart is my favorite female rock vocalist. I have loved heart from the first cd that came out. I’ve seen them many times live and Ann’s voice is just as good live if not better then recordings. None better imo!!
Happy Birthday Amber from South Texas. We love your reactions to different music styles. I am 77 years young and the 60s and 70s are “my” music. Can’t remember where the car keys are but I remember 100s of lyrics. Music has a great impact on us! I am a huge BeeGees fan so love when you react to everything BeeGees!!!! Our prayers are with you and your wonderful family.
this song was written by 'Mutt' Lange who was a huge producer back in the day (and married to Shania Twain),was originally written for Don Henley ,who declined to record it, it was eventually recorded by Dobie Gray ,but with a totally different storyline ,the lyrics were changed by the time Heart did it on 1990 album Brigade, Ann Wilson says she Hates the whole premise of the song and rarely if ever performs the song anymore, even though it was a huge hit for the band....
You guys should react to more Heart… "Dreamboat Annie", "Heartless", "Without You", "Devil Delight", "Kick It Out", "Little Queen", "Dog & Butterfly", "What About Love", "Never", "These Dreams" 🎸🤘
I remember seeing an interview of Ann one time and she said she hated that song and was pressured to do it. I went to Wiki to see what it said and confirms it. "In the liner notes of Heart's album The Road Home, Ann Wilson commented on the band's dislike for the song, stating, "Actually we had sworn off it because it kind of stood for everything we wanted to get away from. It was a song by 'Mutt' Lange, who we liked, and it was originally written for Don Henley, but there was a lot of pressure on us to do the song at the time."[4] Ann Wilson has made a number of comments on her dislike for the song, calling the song's message "hideous" in an interview with Dan Rather.[5] In that same interview, Ann mentions that she's surprised at how many of their fans, especially in Australia and New Zealand, want to hear the song to this day when Heart plays live. Although Heart does not perform this song any more due to Ann's dislike of it, Ann did eventually perform this song on her 2017 tour, though her version of the song had a few changes."
Happy Birthday Amber!!! 🥳Nice, I don't know why but I get emotional over the part where she shows up with baby. Halestorm's cover of this is what got me listening to them. I ❤️ Lizzy. Awesome reaction guys.
Happy Birthday Amber! This was at a time when it was almost considered blasphemous but it is a beautiful story of a woman wanting a child but husband couldn't provide so she sought out another man that could. It caused a lot of reactions but it is still from Heart so the music is fantastic, the story telling is beautiful and Ann conveyed the emotions perfectly. Heart songs never disappoint.
The story is that, the guy she was in love with could not get her pregnant. His little swimmers were no good. So she goes out driving looking for a guy to get her pregnant. That's what she meant by, "the one little thing you can give me that the guy she is in love with can't" And happy birthday to Amber!☺️
Queens of rock love Heart and sad that I never had seen them yet in concert. Barracuda great song . Amber loved your reaction at the beginning . Happy Birthday Amber . Please will you do Jerry Duecette been asking for over a year. Mama Let him Play.
Anne really wasn't keen on them recording this song when it was offered to them (describing the message as "hideous") but she makes a really good job of it! Not one of my favourites but I do still get goosebumps at the "saw his own eyes" bit.
"In an interview with Dan Rather on AXS TV, Ann and Nancy Wilson discussed this song. Nancy: "All I Wanna Do" is a song that was written by a really famous producer-songwriter, Mutt Lange, who went on to do country music. And you could hear in that song the formulaic thing that was going to become country music, that he was up to already at the time. It has a great hook, it has a great sound, but for Ann, not her favorite song to sing. It's about the lyrics. Ann: Once again, it's about the problematic lead singer. Has to be authentic, has to believe in the words she's singing. Nancy: Even though we changed the gender of the song around, which became so shocking that they banned it in Ireland because it was song about a girl, a wanton lassie, who picks up a hitchhiker guy. Ann: Like, you're a hitchhiker, I don't know you so let's get in the car and exchange fluids and now, get out. I mean, that's hideous. Nancy: It's an interesting thing about songs like that, though, because unless you're Ann Wilson and you have to stand there and deliver this message that's in the words, you know, most people when they hear something that they love they're not thinking into all the corners of the song. They're just feeling good and listening to it." (Songfacts)
I saw an interview with Ann a few months ago. She was asked of all the songs they have recorded, which was her least favorite. Ann said "All I want to do " because of the story line. She said, I mean who does that? But, it turned out to be our biggest hit!!!
TWO THINGS: 1) This happened to my brother around the same time this song came out! He was dating a gal he had known from high school who was separated from her husband, but after a few months, she went back to her husband. Years later, I took and Ancestry DNA test and discovered my brother had a daughter he didn't know about. Turned out, her mom was the gal my brother had dated, and she'd actually been separated from her husband because he couldn't get her pregnant! CRAZY. 2) Am I the only one who just realized, 30 years after the fact, that the line "We found a hotel; IT WAS A PLACE I KNEW WELL" meant that she had been REPEATEDLY picking up guys and having sex with them in her effort to get pregnant?! She was likely looking for and sleeping with guys that looked like the man she actually loved, but it took multiple hook-ups before she finally got pregnant!
Happy Birthday Amber! Also, loved Jay’s initial reaction to the story line (seeing the flip of how a woman used a man for sex then dipped rather than a man) for me, this wasn’t one of my fave Heart songs initially but the video really helps paint the story so it helped me like it more. Imagine at the time this was written/performed, I’m sure it was a little controversial. Another great Heart reaction!
Oddly, I don't remember any controversy about it. I sort of had my ear to the ground about rock music in general at the time, so I probably would have heard if there'd been any real outrage. The PMRC types might have had a problem but everyone was bored with them by then and no one cared. The song WAS a huge hit, which annoyed me because I never considered it a good song.
First time I've commented on a Jay and Amber video, although I've been watching about a year now. I'm cracking the hell up at Jay's reactions and Amber's counter reactions. I keep thinking back to the very first video I saw from them, which was Meat Loaf's "Paradise ..." and the way Jay was trying to keep from bursting while Amber just got more confused. She turned the tables on him here. So funny.
Amber and Jay, you guys will eventually find that for _some_ (but not all) of us older folks, there are two camps of Heart fans, 70s Heart and after 70s Heart. just like there are two camps of Doobie Brothers fans, the Tom Johnston years and the Michael McDonald years. I prefer the "Tom Johnston years" of the Doobies and I just cannot stomach the "after 70s Heart". You have to have been around back then when the transitions happened to understand what I mean. For some of us, it runs deep. Especially with Heart.
Good point. And I have to agree with that. I've seen some threads where people actually draw some definite lines between which eras they stand with, And you're right, Especially with Heart. I would say with the Doobies, many Tom Johnston fans (myself included) definitely respect Michael McDonald and his music but they just prefer the more rock oriented style that Tom Johnston had. But with Heart, it's definitely more divided.
Happy Birthday, Amber! Loved the different reactions you and Jay had to this song. I loved the sound of it and even though I'm not crazy about what she did in the song I could understand it. Guess she really wanted a baby, conceived naturally, even if her husband wasn't the father. Obviously, from the song he wasn't the first guy she had taken to that hotel.
I always loved this song. It's so heartbreaking. Her desperation to have a child leading her to have anonymous one night stands (she never expected to connect with him, 💔). But the young man's side of the story is heartbreaking too. In my head cannon I always saw it as him having fallen in love with her as well, 💔. After she ghosted him harshly, he stayed at the hotel (maybe she referenced she was familiar with it as they were driving) and became employed there in hopes that one day he would see her again. When he does, he sees a future they might have had but never will, 💔. All around, it is such a heartbreaking song. 😭
Been waiting for you to do this song because I knew it would blow Jay's mind. The main part of the story you missed was she was with another man who couldn't give her the one thing she wanted, a child. That's why she had the one night stand with the stranger.
I saw an interview with Ann Wilson years ago about this song. It wasn't one of their songs, it was a song the studio bought off a songwriter. Ann and Nancy HATED the song, they thought it was actually quite disgusting, the story it was telling. The studio forced them to record the song and do the music video. Ann said that once they did that, they never sang the song again, either as a new recording for a "greatest hits" album or live.
That's what I heard as well. The Wilson sisters did not like the image that the promoters wanted them to portray in the 80"s. Big hair, sexy looking clothes.
I understand because of the lyrics but yhe song is rockin' beautiful, but I will give deference to the amazing Wilson sisters, they rule. Sorry, Annie, though, this song rocks!!!
Congratulations to Jay & Amber for their 1400th Video!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Man, Heart could really belt it out, couldn't they! I look forward to future reactions of "Heartless", "Dog & Butterfly", "Never" and "What About Love". How can you not love the Wilson sisters?
I've got 1,390 on my spreadsheet, but they've referenced videos before that UA-cam removed. Dang, I've missed 10
Ann Wilson has one of the greatest voices in rock & roll and in the beginning, nobody expected that from her or knew she possessed that voice. Ann and Nancy Wilson are rock gold.

I have never liked this song for that very same reason.
@@brendaparker2346 A bunch of us hated this song.....
I guess it was cheaper than going to a sperm bank
@@brendaparker2346 Me either.
Controversial song but a damn good one, there have been many songs of this type
She put it in the note "I am the flower, you are the seed. We walked in the garden, we planted a tree". She knew exactly what she was trying to do.
I'm in love with another man but he can't give me what I want. A child.
@darktitan6308 I saw it as saving his ego and their marriage, you know how sensitive you men are LOL! She knew it was his fault, he was probably blaming her LOL!
That a father that will never see his son for the rest of life. A boy that will never know who his real father is for the rest of his life.
Totally goofy lyric, but so what?? It's all about one of the most powerful, capable rock bands of all time with vocals that could scrape the paint off the ceiling. VOCALS, percussion, guitars - - the production is untouchable.
And at great risk to her health! This was the height of the AIDS crisis after all.
one of my favorite songs ever
Such a powerful song...
I grew up listening to this song as my dad was a Heart fan. When I married my husband his life dream was to be a dad. We found out 2 yrs in that he was steril. This song was brought up to me several times but luckily it wasn't our solution as a relative got pregnant with a baby boy she couldn't afford but didn't want to abort.
Our son started pre-K this yr. He knows he's super lucky to have been born with bonus parents. A stable mom & dad who take care of him & a mom & dad who visit when they can.
I'm so happy you guys reviewed this beautiful song.
Happy Birthday Amber.
Ann just kills it. Composed by 'Mutt' Lange.
Yeah, Shania Twain's ex!
@@catwhisperer9489 He is also the producer of many AC/DC albums.
@@kenqb5450 👍
Happy birthday 🎉 Amber!!!
I love how lovely Amber is enjoying the record, sonically, and Jay keeps on stopping it in disbelief hahaha!! God, I love these two! Great record by Heart, written and produced by Mutt "cheater" Lange.
My thoughts exactly! 😂
It's actually hilarious lmao
Nice
The Wilson sisters are awesome the story was amazing and they're singing was also amazing. You can't go wrong with heart
Wilson Philips; hold on
Please ❤✌
I find it interesting that Heart did not like this song and stopped performing it. I thought it was one of the best story telling songs ever... I always liked it.
"Saw his own eyes!" Instant goosebumps!
Probably got goosebumps cos he thought he'd have to pay child support
Heart flips the script. Powerful voice, powerful guitar, powerful women.
Heart's mid-80s song, "If Looks Could Kill" is powerful enough to maybe get someone fooling around to reconsider. An absolute banger.
Just a good song!
I always request that song on the few reaction channels I'm subscribed. Never gets played. I think the songs by bands that didn't get much airplay are the best, for instance "Lady Luck" by Journey, "Little Miss Lovin'" by Chicago, "Night Flight" by Zepp, the list goes on. I also wish there were reactions to the band "UFO." They were amazing.
I heard this song a lot and even sang along before I actually paid attention to the words -- Wait. What??? It's whole little novel in a few verses.
You haven't done 'If Looks Could Kill' by Heart! A MUST after hearing this song!! 🤘😎🤘
I love the look on Jay's face as he's listening to the second verse and understanding the plotline... and then the third verse when it all comes together.
J & Amber, you will LOVE their "Kick It Out", "Never" and "Dog And Butterfly"!!! The last one is the softer side of Heart.
great songs but I also love their 'will you be there in the morning'
“Love Alive” is an outstanding song. And their song “How Beautiful” at Christmas time is so good. ❤️❤️❤️
I've been requesting this forever. My favorite Heart song. All the good ones tell a story.
Please react to Silent Lucidity from Queensryche!
Amazing ballad. One of the best ever!
My very favorite song
Yes!
This was my favorite Heart song... HELL of a story!
*Heart - "Stranded" - You guys HAVE to hear Nancy sing this one. Her voice is so beautiful and the song is amazing!*

Happy Birthday Amber Thank you for being a bright light in this world Love your channel, love your family, ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY 🥰🎂🎈🎁
I loved watching Jay's expressions. 😄
This is a very scandalous song, one that Ann has admitted makes her very uncomfortable to perform, and dislikes it due to its message. Yet, it's one of their biggest hits. 🤷
This songs cheesiness is right up there with the oldie “You’re Having My Baby” by Paul Anka.
There is no message, it's just a story.
Ann Wilson has referred to this song as part of their sellout era when they comprised their values to sell records, The song was written by Shania Twain's ex husband Mutt Lange and while Heart had some reservations they gave in and recorded it.

Interesting video with new version ua-cam.com/video/nc97E9AnhRU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AnnWilsonofHeart

My all time favorite Heart song. Love the story and the video is perfect for the song. Happy Birthday Amber!!!
ROTFL...the expressions on your faces is just priceless. Didn't expect that ending, did you?
This is the best reaction video I’ve ever seen you guys do. Jay, I was dying with laughter at your reaction The entire time.

@@seangiuliani3825 It's kind of sad. She used the guy for only his sperm.

Well that depends if her husband knew
Totally AWESOME , BEAUTIFUL SISTERS AND BAND. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER. Every guys dream
Happy Birthday Amber. May you have many more and may we all get more of your amazing reactions with Jay.
This song is so underrated one of the best songs
Yes it is.. I just saw Heart at the Allstate Arena and they didn’t sing this one, I looked on UA-cam and I guess Ann doesn’t like singing that song because she thinks it’s creepy, I have to disagree with her on that one
You can never go wrong with listening to Heart, I love all their music❤
I like that look on Rob’s face as he’s listening to the lyrics, he’s like what, and then at the end it explains it all

Best video/song combination out there. Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
I'm hysterical laughing watching Jay's face.
My favorite song by heart. Love the expressions on your face is watching this when I knew it was gonna be like that so cool thanks.
This is one of my all time favourite songs 🎵 ❤️
Mine also
love Heart!!! love watching music and movies with you guys!! and just so its said out loud, Amber, you are looking fantastic!!!
This is one of the most played songs in my personal playlist. such a powerful song and story. I would also like to point out that the folks from Halestorm do an absolutely amazing cover of this song! also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!
As someone who lived there, the 80's were a hell of a time. No internet, Barely any cable, unsafe cars, and BANGIN' music!
If u both have not checked out “alone” yet by heart…u gotta check it out if u love watching them rock!!!
They did that one already.
I am so so proud of you two!! Amber says “today we’ve got Heart” and Jay - “The Wilson Sisters!” You have learned sooo much since you started the channel. Great job! ♥️
The song is so freaking simple to get but people miss it
One of the few songs that bring tears to my eyes...

J trying to wrap his head around the storyline is comedy gold
My favorite song by Heart!!
Happy Birthday Amber...again! 🤣 I saw "Dog and the Butterfly" suggested and that's a good one from Heart. I am in love with Ann Wilson's voice!
You gotta get back to Teena Marie. Check out "Out On A Limb" you'll love it!
Jay's facial expression during this song is worth watching alone.
This is my favorite 💜❤️ song.Happy 🎂🎈 birthday
You can tell these 2 are in love. It’s great to see these 2 so happy together. Like the Turtles song goes.
It's a beautiful song!! thee was no IVF then so she did what she needed to do... Heart just amazing ladies!!
This song is about her wanting a child so bad, she had a one night stand with a stranger in order to get pregnant because her husband was sterile.
That would make sense but how can you be that certain?
And most people miss that incredibly important detail. Being the guy used (no matter how or why) and then learning of it accidentally is crushing.
@@Drumaier Because the lyrics tell you :-) Listen again to the final verse…
My husband hates this song because she used this guy selfishly for her own reasons. It's a great song, but you have to feel sorry for the poor young guy.

Love how Jay's blushing🤣🤣🤠👍🎼

Slam, bam, thank you Sam. LOL This is when Heart re-invented themselves and still outstanding.
One of the best written song of all time.
Great song the lyrics are so unexpected and that's what makes the story so powerful.
Happy Birthday Amber!!! 🥳Nice, I don't know why but I get emotional over the part where she shows up with baby. Halestorm's cover of this is what got me listening to them. I ❤️ Lizzy. Awesome reaction guys.
I remember this song coming out around my freshman year of college, and it was SCANDALOUS, lol! It was the talk on campus for weeks. 😂🤣
Happy Birthday Amber! This was at a time when it was almost considered blasphemous but it is a beautiful story of a woman wanting a child but husband couldn't provide so she sought out another man that could. It caused a lot of reactions but it is still from Heart so the music is fantastic, the story telling is beautiful and Ann conveyed the emotions perfectly. Heart songs never disappoint.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!!!!!!!!!!!
The story is that, the guy she was in love with could not get her pregnant. His little swimmers were no good. So she goes out driving looking for a guy to get her pregnant. That's what she meant by, "the one little thing you can give me that the guy she is in love with can't" And happy birthday to Amber!☺️
From "Brigade" 1990...... Check out "Stranded" Nancy singing lead. To 5 US hit. Great Ballad
Queens of rock love Heart and sad that I never had seen them yet in concert. Barracuda great song . Amber loved your reaction at the beginning . Happy Birthday Amber . Please will you do Jerry Duecette been asking for over a year. Mama Let him Play.
Yeah, Gretchen Wilson does a killer cover of "Barracuda", too!
Love this channel. The joy you guys have with music is fresh air. Love to see people appreciate music. Keep getting after it!
She said they found a hotel, the place she knew well. In other words she has done this to others!
You two give the most thoughtful, honest reactions of any I have seen. Thank you for the joy of seeing you discover the music I have loved for years.
Can never go wrong with Heart.
Great lyrics, great song.
🎂🥳 I could listen to them sing anytime, My husband had the biggest crush on Ann 🫢 she’s beautiful!
Great song-great lyrics-definitely told a story.
Anne really wasn't keen on them recording this song when it was offered to them (describing the message as "hideous") but she makes a really good job of it! Not one of my favourites but I do still get goosebumps at the "saw his own eyes" bit.
Heart refuses to play this song live.
they do it but have made minor changes to the lyrics

"In an interview with Dan Rather on AXS TV, Ann and Nancy Wilson discussed this song.
Nancy: "All I Wanna Do" is a song that was written by a really famous producer-songwriter, Mutt Lange, who went on to do country music. And you could hear in that song the formulaic thing that was going to become country music, that he was up to already at the time. It has a great hook, it has a great sound, but for Ann, not her favorite song to sing. It's about the lyrics.
Ann: Once again, it's about the problematic lead singer. Has to be authentic, has to believe in the words she's singing.
Nancy: Even though we changed the gender of the song around, which became so shocking that they banned it in Ireland because it was song about a girl, a wanton lassie, who picks up a hitchhiker guy.
Ann: Like, you're a hitchhiker, I don't know you so let's get in the car and exchange fluids and now, get out. I mean, that's hideous.
Nancy: It's an interesting thing about songs like that, though, because unless you're Ann Wilson and you have to stand there and deliver this message that's in the words, you know, most people when they hear something that they love they're not thinking into all the corners of the song. They're just feeling good and listening to it." (Songfacts)
Happy Birthday Amber!!! Always winning with these two ladies and the band.
I saw an interview with Ann a few months ago. She was asked of all the songs they have recorded, which was her least favorite. Ann said "All I want to do " because of the story line. She said, I mean who does that? But, it turned out to be our biggest hit!!!
80 were something can't be re touched for music it was best Era listen to song never be replaced .
TWO THINGS: 1) This happened to my brother around the same time this song came out! He was dating a gal he had known from high school who was separated from her husband, but after a few months, she went back to her husband. Years later, I took and Ancestry DNA test and discovered my brother had a daughter he didn't know about. Turned out, her mom was the gal my brother had dated, and she'd actually been separated from her husband because he couldn't get her pregnant! CRAZY.
2) Am I the only one who just realized, 30 years after the fact, that the line "We found a hotel; IT WAS A PLACE I KNEW WELL" meant that she had been REPEATEDLY picking up guys and having sex with them in her effort to get pregnant?! She was likely looking for and sleeping with guys that looked like the man she actually loved, but it took multiple hook-ups before she finally got pregnant!
I noticed she said that. The hussy! 😂
I didn’t realize what it meant until just now!
I didn't catch that until I started reading the comments so YANA.
Thank you! There is a word for a person that does that,,,, what is that again ????

Reaction is priceless Lol!
Happy Birthday Amber! Also, loved Jay’s initial reaction to the story line (seeing the flip of how a woman used a man for sex then dipped rather than a man) for me, this wasn’t one of my fave Heart songs initially but the video really helps paint the story so it helped me like it more. Imagine at the time this was written/performed, I’m sure it was a little controversial. Another great Heart reaction!
Oddly, I don't remember any controversy about it. I sort of had my ear to the ground about rock music in general at the time, so I probably would have heard if there'd been any real outrage. The PMRC types might have had a problem but everyone was bored with them by then and no one cared. The song WAS a huge hit, which annoyed me because I never considered it a good song.
First time I've commented on a Jay and Amber video, although I've been watching about a year now. I'm cracking the hell up at Jay's reactions and Amber's counter reactions. I keep thinking back to the very first video I saw from them, which was Meat Loaf's "Paradise ..." and the way Jay was trying to keep from bursting while Amber just got more confused. She turned the tables on him here. So funny.
Amber and Jay, you guys will eventually find that for _some_ (but not all) of us older folks, there are two camps of Heart fans, 70s Heart and after 70s Heart. just like there are two camps of Doobie Brothers fans, the Tom Johnston years and the Michael McDonald years. I prefer the "Tom Johnston years" of the Doobies and I just cannot stomach the "after 70s Heart". You have to have been around back then when the transitions happened to understand what I mean. For some of us, it runs deep. Especially with Heart.
Good point. And I have to agree with that. I've seen some threads where people actually draw some definite lines between which eras they stand with, And you're right, Especially with Heart. I would say with the Doobies, many Tom Johnston fans (myself included) definitely respect Michael McDonald and his music but they just prefer the more rock oriented style that Tom Johnston had. But with Heart, it's definitely more divided.
What About Love and Never...... Are two Amazing songs by Heart.
Happy Birthday, Amber! Loved the different reactions you and Jay had to this song. I loved the sound of it and even though I'm not crazy about what she did in the song I could understand it. Guess she really wanted a baby, conceived naturally, even if her husband wasn't the father. Obviously, from the song he wasn't the first guy she had taken to that hotel.
Still gross....
I always loved this song. It's so heartbreaking. Her desperation to have a child leading her to have anonymous one night stands (she never expected to connect with him, 💔).
But the young man's side of the story is heartbreaking too. In my head cannon I always saw it as him having fallen in love with her as well, 💔. After she ghosted him harshly, he stayed at the hotel (maybe she referenced she was familiar with it as they were driving) and became employed there in hopes that one day he would see her again. When he does, he sees a future they might have had but never will, 💔.
All around, it is such a heartbreaking song. 😭
Been waiting for you to do this song because I knew it would blow Jay's mind. The main part of the story you missed was she was with another man who couldn't give her the one thing she wanted, a child. That's why she had the one night stand with the stranger.
amazing song great video
I saw an interview with Ann Wilson years ago about this song. It wasn't one of their songs, it was a song the studio bought off a songwriter. Ann and Nancy HATED the song, they thought it was actually quite disgusting, the story it was telling. The studio forced them to record the song and do the music video. Ann said that once they did that, they never sang the song again, either as a new recording for a "greatest hits" album or live.
I heard the same thing. Even though Ann’s heart (sorry for the pun!) wasn’t in it, she pulled it off well.
That's what I heard as well. The Wilson sisters did not like the image that the promoters wanted them to portray in the 80"s. Big hair, sexy looking clothes.
I understand because of the lyrics but yhe song is rockin' beautiful, but I will give deference to the amazing Wilson sisters, they rule. Sorry, Annie, though, this song rocks!!!
And that guy in the car is way cute...
They may have hated the song but doesn't show in this performance. Rockin good.
