Help build the largest human-edited lyrics collection on the web! Add Lyrics. According to cowriter Steve Perry , the song was heavily influenced by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy and more particularly by bassist leader Phil Lynott. The "basic" work on "the guitar-vocal-guitar-vocal interchange thing that happened between Phil and his lyrics and the guitarist and his arrangements, inspired the Any Way You Want It sorta give and take thing.
It's guitar-voice, guitar-voice, more guitar-guitar-guitar-voice. It be voice-voice and back and forth and that's something that Neal and I think just instinctually picked up by hanging out with him" [1 ] commented Perry. Schon and Perry would then rework on the song in the band bus, with Schon on acoustic guitar and Perry on vocals. For the studio version, keyboardist Gregg Rolie originally used a mellotron.
Since it was defective, co-producer Geoff Workman decided to fix the sound by doubling it with Rolie's regular organ in the final mixing, thus creating the unique sounding background support for the song. The video for the song opens with a man standing in front of a jukebox, his face unseen by the camera. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a coin which he inserts into the jukebox. He then selects the song and we see a record being flipped over and beginning to spin.
This dissolves into a shot of a studio tape spinning which leads to the group performing the song in the studio.
The bands performance comprises most of the video until the song ends. At this point the man at the jukebox is revealed to actually be singer Steve Perry who turns and smiles at the camera. Another video exists which is a live performance during the Departure tour. Both videos were omitted from the band's Greatest Hits DVD in favor of another live version of the song from the Escape tour. The song has been used in television advertisements by popular brands such as Heinz , McDonald's , State Farm , Ford and Samsung , and its prominent appearance in the comedy film Caddyshack released the same year of the song.
