What I Can Do for You
"What I Can Do for You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow from her debut studio album, Tuesday Night Music Club, released on A&M Records. It was originally issued in February 1994, and the single includes a faster version of LP track "The Na-Na Song" under the name "Volvo Cowgirl 99". In the United Kingdom, the song reached number 84 in its first release in 1994, then number 43 following a re-release in late 1995. The song deals with sexual harassment, which Crow says she experienced during her rise to fame.
The 1995 UK release sparked an industry controversy when the Official Charts Company initially refused to allow the single to chart due to the free calendar in the packaging, which broke a chart rule about free gifts. After it was pointed out that the chart compilers had allowed Madonna's "You'll See" to chart, the decision was reversed just before the week's chart was issued.
Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "By absorbing so much music, bits out of pop classics have nonchalantly slipped into Crow's work. This groovy tune is like the Pretenders' 'Don't Get Me Wrong' on a Sly Stone bassline."Track listings
