Ann and Nancy now REFUSE to play "All I Wanna Do" live- they have said on various interviews that they find its premise- a woman with an infertile husband conceives by seducing a random stranger, whom she makes a point of never seeing again after their "one night of love"- disturbing and repugnant, especially since they were essentially forced to record and release that song at the height of the 80s AIDS outbreak, a time when the results of such an encounter could have been lethal.
