Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money

Songfacts®:

• This song is based on The Ronettes' 1963 hit " Be My Baby ," and features their lead singer, Ronnie Spector, on the chorus performing her famous line, "Be my little baby." The song was reworked by the songwriters Michael Leeson and Peter Vale, whose other songs include " Would I Lie To You " by Charles & Eddie and "One Man Woman" by Sheena Easton. The song is about a guy who is in lust with a girl and is trying to convince her to take him home. >> Suggestion credit : Bertrand - Paris, France
• With this song, Ronnie Spector returned to the spotlight for the first time in two decades. A groundbreaking artist, Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Ronettes in 2007, but by 1986 she was long out of the spotlight. Spector's last Top 40 hit with The Ronettes was "Walking in the Rain" in 1964; in 1971 she made #77 with a song written by George Harrison called "Try Some, Buy Some," but that would be her last chart entry until "Take Me Home Tonight." The song not only introduced Spector to a new generation, but also got her on MTV for her first time, as the clip got ample airtime on the network. Spector released a solo album the following year called "Unfinished Business," but she never scored another hit.
• Ronnie Spector appeared in the video, mostly in silhouette form, but a financial dispute nearly kept her out of it. The video was directed by Nick Morris, who helmed popular clips for Europe (" The Final Countdown ") and Paul Young (" Everytime You Go Away "). According to Morris, Spector's boyfriend/manager told her not to be filmed until they received a payment he felt they were owed, so Morris said they would just use his wife, Fiona O'Mahoney, who was also the producer on the shoot, in place of Spector, which conceivably could work because most of Spector's scenes were shot in shadows. In our interview with Morris , he explained: "We put Fiona in the dress that Ronnie was going to wear, we put a wig on her, and we started doing a camera test where Ronnie and her manager could see it. Her manager was going, 'They're just bluffing, Ronnie, they're not going to do it. They're not really going to do it, Ronnie.' And Ronnie was like, 'They are going to do it and I'm not going to be in the video!' In the end, she saw sense, and she performed it. The whole crew applauded. But that was a wild and wacky thing to do, and maybe a bit cruel to do, but we were English in Los Angeles making our third or fourth music video, and if we'd come away having paid Ronnie extra money, that would have crashed our budget. But my producer didn't get to be in the video."
• At first, this was going to be a duet with Martha Davis, lead singer of The Motels. Money wanted Spector ("the real thing") on the song, so he called her to ask, telling her, "This is a tribute to you. The song is all about you." According to Spector, she got on board as soon as she heard the lyric, "Listen honey, just like Ronnie sang... be my little baby." "When they said that, I was sold," she told Entertainment Weekly . Spector says Money was very excited when she showed up to record it. "He was a crazy person - freaking out in the studio, going, 'I've got the real Ronnie Spector singing 'Be My Baby' on my record!,'" she said.
• This song is extremely catchy, with two chorus hooks and a come-hither lead-in. The pre-chorus starts things off: I can feel you breathe I can feel your heart beat faster Then Money sings the first chorus section: Take me home tonight I don't want to let you go till you see the light... When it gets to Spector's part, it's another musical shift to the tried and true chorus from her 1963 hit: Be my little baby Oh, oh, oh

• Kimberly from Bloomington Indiana I was 12 in 1977. Still love this song
• Amiramie from Dallas, Tx Roberta Elkins from Arlington, Tx-you may have been 20 and beautiful in 1977 but, unless you had a time machine, you did not hear this song on a camping trip with your boyfriend “Ed.” Maybe it was another kind of trip you were on. This song didn’t come out until 1986-9 years later!
• Mark V from Puerto Rico My 15 year old son told me he heard this song on the radio and it reminded him of me. I told myself I wouldn't cry.
• Roberta Elkins from Arlington Texas In 1977 I was 20, beautiful and my boyfriend took me on our first camping trip. "Take Me Home Tonight" was playing. My intro to Eddie Money. All these years later I think of the Eddie I was dating in 77'. Excellent Song, happy memories. RIP to Both Eddie's
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On November 22, 1986, Eddie Money, with Ronnie Spector, performed "Take Me Home Tonight" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at #5 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, the week before it had peak at #4 {for 1 week} and it spent twenty weeks on the Top 100... Earlier in 1982 on September 14th it had reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart... Between 1978 and 1992 he had twenty-three records on the Top 100 chart, two* made the Top 10, besides "Take Me Home Tonight", his other Top 10 record was "Walk On Water", it peaked at #9 {for 1 week} on December 18th, 1988... Eddie Money, born Edward Joseph Mahoney, will celebrate his 69th birthday come next March 21st {2018}... * He just missed having two more Top 10 records when both "Baby Hold On" {1978} and "Peace In Our Time" {1990} peaked at #11... And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, also in 1986 there was another 'Take Me Home' record that made the Top 10, Phil Collins' "Take Me Home" peaked at #7 {for 3 weeks} on May 4th.
• Rae from Nj Great song! One of Eddie Money's best! He really sang his heart out on it! Love it!
• Tim from Northfield, Mn So that's who he was referring to with the "just like Ronnie sang" line. That has always interested me as to who Ronnie was and why that was done like it was.
• Jessica from Alvin , Tx Love the song.
• Bill from Pensacola, Fl Ronnie Spector was married to Phil Spector, who is considered quite important inthe history of pop music production. (for you new folks) Some of his ideas of sound come through here of course. Ronnie Spector has a great voice, inspiring countless female singers after her.
• Brian from Richmond , Va This song is a timeless clasic that many in the younger generation are becoming hip to. When Ronnie Spector was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with her band the Ronettes, she gave props to Eddie Money. I thought that was way cool. I love Eddie Money's voice. This may be his best song.
• Ed from Incognito, Il My band opened for Eddie a few times. Cool guy. Doesn't drink anymore, but he still gets "out there" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
• Don from San Antonio, Tx I was a hardcore punk and I had to keep it secret that I liked this so much. The echo-ey vocals and the keys it was in was just haunting to me. I liked it so much I even bought Ronnie's album "Unfinished Business" at the same time this came out. The hit was "Who Can Sleep?" which was similar to this. I didn't like the rest of her album though, and I was sure I would. I never even heard the Eddie Money album in it's entirety, how is it? Ever heard "Trinidad"? That is beautiful.
• Marilynn from Milwaukee, Wi Oops...correction...it was the Bradley Center, not the Riverside Theatre. M Mee
• Marilynn from Milwaukee, Wi When Eddie Money performed that song in concert in Milwaukee, WI in 2003 at the Riverside Theatre, he arranged (through the Classic Rock radio station) to have a local singer named Anjl Rodee get up on stage to sing Ronnie's part. It almost didn't happen because when Anjl went to climb on stage at the appointed time, a security guard tried to stop her, thinking she was just an over-zealous fan! - Marilynn Mee, Milwaukee, WI
• Chris from Chicago, Il I like this one and Ronnie Spector is a cool chick!

Eddie Money’s “Take Me Home Tonight,” a Perfect Earworm with a Rich Pop History

By Ian Crouch

In an era flush with white-guy hitmakers who couldn’t dance—Huey Lewis and Robert Palmer and Rick Astley and Daryl Hall and John Oates—Eddie Money really couldn’t dance. The singer of late-seventies and eighties soft-rock mainstays like “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise,” who died on Friday, at the age of seventy, was a little less than six feet tall, but, onstage, he’d stoop awkwardly over the microphone, like he was embarrassed to be taking up space. He leered and winked, and moved strangely, as if dodging invisible gnats. With his hands, he committed all the notorious crimes of the rhythm-challenged—his fingers pointing, snapping, or else balled into a fist, punching the air. His hands found their most comfortable home on the microphone, which he often appeared to be strangling.

All of this is to say that Money, who was born Edward Mahoney, in Brooklyn, and grew up on Long Island, was an unlikely pop star. He was the son and grandson of New York City police officers, and was a police trainee himself after high school before moving to California, where, in 1978, he charted two Top 40 singles under the management of the legendary promoter Bill Graham. Although he’d play bills with the likes of the Rolling Stones and the Who, and go on to have twenty-one more singles in the Billboard Hot 100 between 1978 and 1992, he never lost the air of a fast-talking local boy made good . In interviews during recent years, he would talk about even his lowest moments—vodka, cocaine—with a kind of humble good nature. Speaking last year with Dan Rather , he found the bright side of a fentanyl overdose, in the early nineteen-eighties, that put him in a coma and left him, for several months, needing a walker to get around. Somehow during this time he was able to record a new album, “No Control,” which went platinum. “Everything was bad about the overdose, but the only thing good about it is, when I made the album cover . . . I was down to a hundred and sixty-five pounds. And they put a Versace suit on me,” he said, laughing. “I looked like a million bucks.”

Extolling the virtues of Money’s catalogue—with its bluesy electric guitars, roadhouse harmonica, gated reverb on the drums, synthesizers, and plenty of cheesy sax—makes one feel a bit like Patrick Bateman, in “American Psycho,” going on about the secret artistry of Phil Collins’s worst songs. But Money contributed a series of earworms that have, thanks to classic-rock radio, burrowed themselves into the American pop psyche. Every so often, I find myself poking around the house, mumbling the simple chorus of “Baby Hold On”—“Baby hold on to me / Whatever will be, will be”—and feeling happy in some very old part of my brain.

Money’s biggest hit came out of just this kind of mundane domestic moment. “I was scraping mashed potatoes off a big china platter when Eddie Money called,” the singer Ronnie Spector wrote in her memoir , in 1990. It was 1986, and he was calling to ask her to perform with him on a new song that his label had given him to record, called “Take Me Home Tonight,” which he didn’t much like. The only good thing, from Money’s perspective, as he later told a reporter from Knight-Ridder, was that the song had a line from the Ronettes’ 1963 smash hit “Be My Baby” in the chorus, which gave someone the idea that it’d be good to get Spector, who had been the group’s lead singer, into the studio to reprise it. At the time, Spector was living in New York with her second husband and two young children, in semi-retirement. It had been twenty years since the Ronettes broke up, and more than a decade since Spector had fled the house she shared with her first husband, Phil Spector, the man who had helped build, and then derail, her career. In her memoir, Spector recalls Money asking her, “What are you doing these days.” She responded, “The dishes. . . . When can we get started?”

“Take Me Home Tonight,” which went to No. 4 on the Billboard charts, remains a staple, a propulsive wedding-dance-floor rock-out of a piece with Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” and Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” It’s a song for the end of the party, right before the lights come on at the bar, the last bit of the night that you can sing at the top of your lungs without feeling stupid: “ I DON’T WANT TO LET. YOU. GO. TILL YOU SEE THE LIGHT !” Central to its cathartic thrill is Spector’s voice. She’s announced in the chorus by Money, crooning the line “Just like Ronnie sang”—a fitting pop-royalty welcome. And then she arrives: “Be my little baby. . . .” Her voice is elegant and joyous, music history dusted off and brought back to urgent life. As Spector wrote in a tribute to Money on Instagram, on Friday, the song helped introduce her to a new generation of listeners, and it got her a record contract and restarted her solo career. More than that, singing that line on the radio again may have been a way of reclaiming it, artistically if not financially, from Phil Spector, of making it hers again. There’s a clip online of Money and Ronnie singing the song on “Letterman,” and, though Money looks as ridiculous as you’d expect, dancing next to a resplendent Spector, the whole thing is truly beautiful.

• Trivia Being a big fan of The Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986) , Topher Grace personally called Michael Biehn and offered him the role of his father.
• Goofs In the 1984 yearbook, there are several anachronisms. There's a clip of A-ha's video for "Take On Me", which wasn't released until 1985. There's a photo of ALF, a video clip of the California raisins, and a photo of four girls with the inscription "walk like an Egyptian". Alf, the California Raisins and the song "Walk Like an Egyptian" are all from 1986. Near the end of the yearbook credits, the phrase "don't worry, be happy" appears with a yellow happy face. "Don't Worry, Be Happy", the Bobby McFerrin song that popularized the phrase, wasn't released until 1988.

Matt Franklin : Shut the fuck up and drive. I'm Matt Franklin. I work at Suncoast video at the mall and I still live with my parents. I don't know what I'm doing up here. I'm scared. And you know what... I have been so afraid of my life, that I have missed my life. But I'm like all of you. We're all scared. We're all trying to be something that were not. But tonight all of that changes. Tonight, I'm not afraid. Tonight, I got one thing to say to all that bullshit. Fuck it.

Take Me Home Tonight — review

T his particularly dislikable American post-college comedy is set in 1988, when Reagan was about to pass the baton to Bush senior and every graduate wanted to get rich in investment banking. Matt, the movie's young hero, an MIT graduate turned temporary slacker, is selling video cassettes in a Los Angeles shopping mall while thinking about how to spend his future. Suddenly, he meets his high-school idol, the beautiful Tori, now a high-flying banker, and pretends that he's an adviser on Asian investment at Goldman Sachs. The action takes place on a single night at two Labour Day parties, one for hard-drinking middle-class kids having a final fling before setting about getting rich, the other for youngish executives who already have their first couple of million in the bank. The movie makes its points about ambition, life choices, individualism and conformity both raucously and with bludgeoning crudity. Not a journey to the end of the night that I'd recommend.

Take me home tonight audible audiobook – unabridged.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times best-selling author of Since You’ve Been Gone.

Two girls. One night. Zero phones.

Kat and Stevie - best friends, theater kids, polar opposites - have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?

Well. Kind of a lot?

They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.

Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship and their choices...and finally discover what they really want for their future.
