BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Shoppin’ From A to Z” is the fourth single by Toni Basil, and the third from her debut album, Word of Mouth. It was released in the US only. After the poor performance of “Nobody” in the UK, there was a lot of dependence on “Shoppin’ From A to Z” for its performance in the US. It peaked at #77.

The song features a shopping list consisting of various grocery items, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. On the album version, it is shouted out by a chorus. However, in the single version this is replaced by comical voices saying the name of each item.
