"It's All I Can Do"
Song

"It's All I Can Do" is a song by the American rock band The Cars. It is the third track from their 1979 album Candy-O. It was written by the band's lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek, and features the bassist, Benjamin Orr, on vocals. It was released as a single on September 25, 1979 and it peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Anthology and demo version

On its appearance on the Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology, the song's rock-related guitar riffs are taken out and the song is left with the rhythm and bass guitar only, but still features a solo which was also "fixed" a little bit. And the demo version featured a different vocals tone with more of a echo-related pitch, and the guitar solo is missing.

Sound and genre debate

According to Brett Milano, narrator of the mini anthology "book" inside the Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology case, said "It's All I Can Do was an affecting, straight-ahead piece of romantic pop, give or take a line like 'When I was crazy, I thought you were great.'"

Personnel

Other appearances

"It's All I Can Do" was featured in the 1998 film The Wedding Singer, and included on the film's second soundtrack, titled Wedding Singer 2.
