Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care of Business (Live at Vancouver)
Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO)
Thank you my friend TSgt Joe C. for sharing the music video of Bachman Turner Overdrive performing You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Randy Bachman and Fred Turner are excellent musicians IMHO
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman–Turner Overdrive
Lyrics
"I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said, I've had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
So I took what I could get, mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said,
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Nothin' yet, you ain't been around
That's what they told me
And now I'm feelin' better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with them big brown eyes
And said,
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-b-b-baby, you…"

"Randy Bachman didn't intend to release this song with the stuttering vocal. He sang it with the stutter to poke fun at his brother, Gary, who had a speech impediment. During microphone checks, he would sing it with the stutter and recorded a version that was intended just for Gary. His record company liked it a lot better than the non-stuttering version, so that's the one they released. Eventually, Gary stopped stuttering.
The lyrics, especially "She took me to her doctor and he told me of a cure," led to rumors that the song was about herpes or some other social disease. According to Bachman, the lyrics were just words he improvised, as he didn't thing the song was going to be released and was just using it to test levels in the studio.
Randy Bachman produced the Not Fragile album, and used this song to test dynamics in the studio, since the guitars would go from quiet to loud.
When the band recorded it, they didn't think it would be released, so they didn't bother perfecting it - or even tuning their instruments. Bachman's vocal was considered a scratch track. This became Bachman's "work song" for testing.
The band only played it for their label after the boss at Mercury, Charlie Fach, heard the eight songs they completed and didn't hear a hit. The engineer suggested playing him the "work song," and Bachman reluctantly agreed.
When Fach heard the song, he loved it, warts and all. In our interview with Bachman, he explained: "Charlie said, 'I want to put this on the album.' And I said, 'I need to remix it.' And he said, 'Don't touch it. Put it on the way it is. When you play this with the other songs, it just jumps off the turntable.'"
The title is grammatically incorrect. It is a double-negative, although "You Haven't Seen Anything Yet" wouldn't have the same ring to it.
This song came about when the band was playing a jam session in the key of "A." "Takin' Care Of Business" also came out of a jam session, but that one was in the key of "C."
Randy Bachman wrote this song and sang lead. He and his bandmate Fred Turner split vocal duties in the band.
Bachman's inspiration for the intro/verse melody was Dave Mason's "Only You Know and I Know."
