Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Only Wanna Be With You. By Songfacts®.

This song is a tribute to Bob Dylan. It contains lyrics from various Dylan songs, including a mention of Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue." Some of the words come directly from Dylan's track "Idiot Wind": They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me I can't help it if I'm lucky Apparently, Dylan felt the "tribute" infringed too closely on original work, and he sued the group for unauthorized use of his lyrics. According to VH1, he received a large, out-of-court settlement in 1995.

The video has a sports theme and features former quarterback Dan Marino (the band are huge Miami Dolphins fans), golfer Fred Couples, and various ESPN anchors.

The line, "Put on a little Dylan sitting on the fence" is a reference to a band Hootie used to play with called Dillon Fence.
