With the words "This ain't no disco. It ain't no country club either. This is L.A.," the world was introduced to the neo-folkie, irresistible pop of Sheryl Crow. "All I Wanna Do" unfolds like a mini-movie thanks to Crow's artful vocals, whose lyrics paint a luminous picture of the adventures of Sheryl and "Billy""until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard." Inspired by the powerful beats of house music, hit after hit crossed over from the dance chart to the pop top-10 in 1990—but it took producers Robert Clivilles and David Cole (aka C&C Music Factory) to climb all the way to No. 1.

Its pure kinetic energy certainly invigorated pop radio playlists, debuting at No. 3 before eventually spending, appropriately enough, one week at No. 1.
