"All I Want to Do" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1969 album 20/20. It was written by Dennis Wilson and Stephen Kalinich, and released as the B-side to "I Can Hear Music".
Recording
[edit]An earlier version of "All I Want to Do" was produced on October 16, 1968, at Bell Sound in New York. The backing track was redone at Valentine Studio on November 9.[1] At another session, held three days later, Dennis recorded himself at Capitol Studios having sex with a woman, whose throes of passion were incorporated into the track as background sound effects.[2][1]
Alternate releases
[edit]Multiple alternate versions, including two alternate takes with Dennis on lead vocals, were released in 2018 on I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions.[citation needed]
