All Night

About All Night

"All Night" is a song written by Lynsey de Paul and Ron Roker. De Paul released her version of the song on 27 April 1973 as her third single released on MAM Records, with arrangements by Martyn Ford and John Bell and produced by de Paul. It features an uncredited male vocal (repeating the title "All Night" after de Paul sings it). A slinky, sexy song, it compares a love relationship to that of the spider and a fly. The single is backed by the more socially aware song "Blind Leading the Blind", composed and produced by de Paul. The song was an unusual release since neither the A-side or the B-side featured as tracks on her debut album. "Surprise" had been released a little more than a month earlier and this song was in a very different style. As well as being released in the UK, it was issued in France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, New Zealand, Japan and the US. Cashbox reviewed the single and wrote "Lynsey's initial Stateside release, “Sugar Me” received wide industry acclaim, and this one is certain to follow in same path. Excellent single for major top 40 programmers is melodic and rhythmic. This will be the one to watch". It was listed as a "Spins & Sales" pick in Record World and also as a "discopick" in "DJ and Radio Monthly" magazine. De Paul appeared on numerous prime time TV shows such as Top of the Pops in the UK on 4 May 1973, Hits-a-Go-Go in Germany on 24 June 1973 (re-screened as an episode of Einsfestival on 28 March 2015), where she performed with Mott The Hoople and Top A Gérard Lenorman in France performing the song. The Top of the Pops version was released on the BBC Transcription Services for broadcast world wide, together with live versions of her songs "Ivory Tower" and "Water". The single reached #27 on the RNI Top 30 in June 1973,, #17 on the Dutch Single Tip chart and while it did not appear in the UK Singles Chart, it bubbled under as a chart breaker. In 1974, it was released again in Japan, this time on a four track EP that featured all four de Paul singles on the MAM label. Even though it was originally a non-album single, it has since been released on almost every de Paul compilation album, such as Lynsey Sings aka The World of Lynsey De Paul, and the German album Profile. A version that is longer than the one appearing as the single and that referenced "Sugar Me" was released on the album Greatest Hits, and in remastered form on Sugar and Beyond. In the accompanying booklet to Sugar and Beyond, de Paul revealed it was not one of her own favourite compositions. Nevertheless, AllMusic lists "All Night" as one of de Paul's song highlights. In 2019, it was included as a track on Denim & Diamante vol. 1, a selection of 1970s glam pop and discotheque rock, mixed by Denim Disco. more »

Mmm 
Don't'cha think I'm like a spider
Spinning lies
Won't'cha step inside my parlour
Little fly

My oh my, my, my
My oh my, my my, my my, my, my

Mmm
Flying like a paper glider 
Round and round 
Won't you let me try and softly 
Guide you down

My oh my, oh, my
My oh my, my my, my my

And it was all night
I was wondering what I could do
And it'll be alright
When I get together with you
We've got a lot of ooooh to do

Mmm, 
Now my eyes are open wider
Little fly (hey)
Won't'cha step inside my parlour
Or die

My oh my, oh, my
My oh my, my my, my my

And it was all night (all night)
I was wondering what I could do
And it'll be alright (all)
When I get together with you
We've got a lot of ooooh

All night (all)
I was wondering what I could do
And it'll be alright (all night)
When I get together with you
We've got a lot of ooooh to do

All night (all night)
I was wondering what I could do
And it'll be alright (all)
When I get together with you
