Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)

"Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)" is a 1985 song by the alternative rock band Dramarama released as the first single from their debut album Cinéma Vérité.

Written by John Easdale in the mid-1980s, "Anything, Anything" features a steady beat and lyrics about the breakdown of his marriage.

Although initially unsuccessful, the song saw commercial success after being played on KROQ and featuring on the A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master soundtrack.

"Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)" was written by Dramarama singer John Easdale in the period from 1984 to 1985, a time he recalled as "definitely not a high point in [his] life.

Couples often tell me it's "their" song, and I'm flattered that they feel the emotion and passion of it, but I am always a bit reluctant to mention that it is essentially an ode to a bitter break-up.Lyrically, the song mentions drinking and pills to reference partying, with the latter being used to rhyme with "hundred dollar bills."

"[1] Dramarama were largely unknown until Los Angeles DJ Rodney Bingenheimer began regularly playing "Anything, Anything" on KROQ.
