"Party All the Time"
Song

"Party All the Time" was a single recorded by comic actor Eddie Murphy in 1985, written and produced by Rick James & Kevin Johnston. The single reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the only major hit of his music career. The song includes some of Eddie Murphy's falsetto talents, however restricted to a few phrases and a repetition of the chorus. Later, "Weird Al" Yankovic covered part of the song in one of his polkas. [1] The song holds the dubious honor of being ranked #7 in VH1's list of The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever, [2] and #8 in Blender magazine's list of the "50 Worst Songs Ever". [3]

In 2006, house DJ and producer Sharam Tayebi of Deep Dish released a remix of the song known simply as "PATT", an abbreviation for "Party All The Time" that reached #8 in the UK. The subsequent music video is a homage to the original, which had featured Murphy, James, and some backup singers recording the song in a studio.
