Last Night Changed It All
Esther Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, woman, where were you at last night?
* Last night changed it all
I really had a ball
* Repeat
Weekend after weekend I stayed home
Staring at the four walls all alone
Always in a deep depressing mood
* Repeat (x3)
Never had so much fun in all my life
At the party I went to last night
I danced and danced and danced with quite a few
Made me forget the changes I've been through
* Repeat (x3)
** I decided to obey my rules
Partying hard staying on the move
Playing it cool taking them as they come
Not rushing into love with anyone
* Repeat (x3)
Hello
Hey woman, this is the second time I called you
So what?!
** Repeat
* Repeat (x3)
* Repeat (x2)
No more staying home
No more all alone
No more depressing moods
No more wrong doing dude
** Repeat
* Repeat (x2)
The lyrics to Esther Williams's song Last Night Changed It All tell the story of a woman who finally decides to let loose and have some fun after spending too many weekends cooped up at home feeling depressed because of a man who did her wrong. The repetition of the phrase "last night changed it all" throughout the song emphasizes the transformative power of one night of dancing and socializing with new people. The woman realizes that she doesn't have to be held back by the pain and hurt of her past experiences, and decides to take control of her own life by "obeying her rules" and not rushing into love with anyone. The song ends with a sense of empowerment and renewal, as the woman asserts that she is done with staying home alone and feeling down, and is ready to move on to a brighter future.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was actually a cover version of a track by The Moments, a soul vocal group from New Jersey. The original version was titled "Love on a Two-Way Street" and was released in 1970. Esther Williams's version was a disco-funk reworking that was released in 1976 and became a hit on the R&B charts. Another interesting fact is that the song was produced by Tony Valor, a popular disco producer who also worked with artists like Gloria Gaynor and The Trammps.

I feel like that about too many songs to limit it to just one. Misdemeanor by The Sylvers may be the one for me. This is fantastic too.
@cameron_fairchild
No, Nautilus by Bob James is the ultimate rare groove for me.
