"I wanna kiss you but I want it too much, I wanna taste you but your lips are __________ poison."

"Party All the Time" is a song by comedian and actor Eddie Murphy, written and produced by Rick James. It was the lead single from Murphy's 1985 debut album How Could It Be.[1] It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, behind "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie.[2]

Production[edit]

Murphy stated that the song was made in response to a $100,000 bet made between himself and actor/comedian Richard Pryor, wagering on whether Murphy had singing talent or not. The single was recorded at Rick James's home studio in Buffalo, New York. In addition to his duties as the song's writer and producer, James also provided backup vocals.[1]

Reception[edit]

A reader in the Los Angeles Times, Barbara Bryson, criticized the song, characterizing it as "Gumby goes disco" (referring to the character parodied by Murphy on Saturday Night Live). The publication also placed the song at number one on "The Video Bottom 10" list.[3] Meanwhile, critic Scott Benarde in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel awarded the song his worst single for 1985, calling it a "catchy uptempo dance number" but asserting that "Murphy adds nothing but his ego to it. His voice is paper thin and buried in the mix. Anyone could have sung that tune the way it was produced. Murphy should stick to imitating Gumby."[4]

The song's music video won best urban contemporary video award at the American Video Awards in November 1985.[5]

Personnel[edit]

• Eddie Murphy – lead vocals
• Rick James – drums, percussion, backing vocals, production
• Kenny Hawkins – guitar
• Greg Levias – keyboards
• Levi Ruffin – keyboards, backing vocals
• LaMorris Payne – backing vocals

Remixes and covers[edit]

In 2006, house DJ and producer Sharam Tayebi of Deep Dish released a remix of the song, known simply as "PATT" (an acronym for "Party All the Time"),[18] which peaked at No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart on December 30, 2006.[19] The song also peaked at number 87 on the Australian ARIA Charts.[20]

Finnish band Children of Bodom covered the song in 2011, as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of their album Relentless Reckless Forever.[citation needed]
