“Stayed Awake All Night” by Krokus
From the album Headhunter (1983)
“Stayed Awake All Night” by Krokus appears on 6 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 1990 and 1999. It was first released in 1983 on the album Headhunter. Its best result is #589 on the KISW Top 1000 of All Time (1995). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #839 hard rock song of all time.
Krokus went shopping in the Bachman–Turner Overdrive songbook for "Stayed Awake All Night", a Randy Bachman song, words and music, that the Swiss hard rockers slotted onto Headhunter, their seventh studio album, in April 1983. Tom Allom produced it and Andy deGanahl engineered, and the band tears into it like a crew with no intention of going home early.
Headhunter is the only Krokus album with Steve Pace on drums, and it also carried "Screaming in the Night", the song classic rock radio still spins. The album went gold in the US.
