"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 musical 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]

When Murphy informed actor/comedian Richard Pryor that he was doing an album, Pryor offered him a $100,000 bet that Murphy wouldn't be able to do a purely musical album without jokes. In a 2023 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Murphy said that Pryor never paid him the money before his death in 2005.[3] The single was recorded at Rick James's home studio in Buffalo, New York. In addition to writing and producing the song, 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.[4] 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."[5]

The song's music video won best urban contemporary video award at the American Video Awards in November 1985.[6]
