"All I Want to Do" is a song written by Dennis Wilson. It was recorded by American rock band The Beach Boys for their 1969 album 20/20. It was later released as the b-side to "I Can Hear Music", a single which charted at #24 in the U.S. and at #10 in the U.K..

Information

The song is a savage fast-paced rocker with blazing guitars and a creditable vocal from Mike Love, unlike anything else in the Beach Boys' catalog. The song is seen as very controversial compared to other Beach Boys songs, with sexual noises in the background on the fade-out; a woman in the throes of passion, screaming and calling out "oh boy". Dennis Wilson can also be heard in the fade-out.[1][2]

A live version of the song was recorded in 1968 for Live in London but not included on the 1970 album. The version was, however, released on Rarities in 1983.
