Let's Talk About...I CAN'T WAIT - Page 4

It's kind of fun (and tragic) to hear how much she screwed up 'I Can't Wait' when she performed it. She never seemed sure of where she was in the song. She totally loses it during the synth passage. She simply just couldn't nail it. Why? Perhaps it's a little bit out of her typical realm, but's not a very complex song.

Still...how do I love it. How do I love it.

What you guys all keep calling "screwing up" is NOT screwing up!!! It's called "letting it all hang out" & "blasting your balls & your ass right to the wall."

That's the Rock a Little tour! Stevie blasted her balls & her ass right to the wall. No looking back! She could never look back, that woman used to a Hollywood living.

YEESH.

David are you okay...?

My mom and I love ICW. She steals Timespace every single morning so that she can listen to that along with Sometimes it's a Bitch and Love's a Hard Game to Play. She loves those.

Funny story; the first week I got RAL was all the way back like mid-way through last year's school year. I was supposed to be home alone until like 6 p.m. so I raced home to dance to RAL in my Stevie cape, right?

My dad came home early and found me spinning in a black hooded cape in my room to ICW. I don't know how long he was standing in the doorway, but it was really awkward when I realized he was there!

I saw her perform this live three times(Worcester & Mansfield shows). The sound mix was a mess and her vocal was nearly inaudible, but she did have energy and lots of hair flipping.

Here is what I have for live performances.

I totally recommend listening to the live version from melbourne just to hear her random outburst at 1.27 when she goes to sing "well she dances around..." and then realises its the wrong verse. lol

she also sings(just) "blame it on something at first sight put the blame on me, would you blame it on my wild heart?"
It's terrible but it's kind of like the morbid fascination people have with car crashes, you just can't help but look.

lol...I think its cute when she messes something up every now and then...its endearing. Just makes it all the more interesting.

True, we wouldn't even be talking about it if she hadn't messed it up, I think its awesome though, It really expresses her in the time period, that why i can't understand people who bag out the Rock A Little album, sure it's corny and 80's. But thats why i love it!

I agree, it would be too boring if she did everything perfect all the time. It just shows she's a person who makes mistakes like anyone else really..... but for some reason it's just alot cuter when she does it.

markolas · #53 08-30-2009, 12:54 PM

It's not one of my favorites. I especially can't stand the beginning where she wails "I I love you...I I love you" or whatever. It's okay other than that, but not really a favorite. And apparently I'm not alone here.

Amen. BTW, for anyone who's interested, I have the full 4:30 boot of ICW from the Sydney show. It cuts out in the middle - like a tape change right at the break - but it's pretty much all there... "Blame it on something at first sight/Put the blame on me, blame it on my wild heart...." Audio quality is unmixed soundboard, I believe. B+/A-, depending on how you rate things.

Second, the music video makes me smile. Especially the close ups, her facial expressions are just so cute!

Stevie Nicks - I Can't Wait @ Yahoo! Video

P.S. You gotta love Mick too!

This video used to get me so excited...this came out right before I saw Stevie for the first time in '86...it has a lot of energy and drive mixed with mystery! I was 12 and starstruck myself..so Stevie just seemed like a complete and total rockstar to me at this point and because of this song! Absolutlety loved it..crazy.

Just found the Stevie Commentary (from Crystal Visions) on Youtube -- here's "I Can't Wait":

goldustsongbird · #57 09-03-2009, 04:03 PM

Personally, my favourite version of ICW is the parody I wrote.

(I can't remember who exactly came up with the I Gained Weight title and inspired this...)

I wanna eat yooooou

Sometimes she noshes, sometimes well she's only drinkin'
Then when she weighs in, somehow, she can't believe it
Well, yes I love food
We've never been outta touch
Yes, I love food
Fat and carbs, too
It's too much, well

I gained weight, I gained weight
My pants are stretched by my thighs, right before my eyes
Well, I gained weight, I gained weight
And I've gotta know how I will binge once again

She wonders how many more hours her muffins will be bakin'
In secret, she eats those chocolates like crazy, with no words spoken

Well, she dances around in circle
She's got that feelin' now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on the fast food
To be continued

How many cals in a gigantic donut now?
How many cookies can I shove into my mouth?
How many cals, hey, is butter a carb?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a...?

I gained weight, I gained weight
I'm not wasting my time, expanding my waistline
I gained weight, I gained weight
What can I do when I'm crazy for food?

I'm gonna eat you...

I'm partial to all the RAL tracks since that album starting the ball rolling for me as far as Stevie is concerned. I Can't Wait is a song filled with manic energy and desperation. I love the lyrics, the beat and all the cheesy synths. I think it's really cool that she only recorded the vocal once, or so she claims.
