"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 features 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]
Multiple alternate versions, including two alternate takes with Dennis Wilson on lead vocals, were released in 2018 on I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions.
