It’s super easy, we promise! by · Published October 4, 2017 · Updated September 9, 2020 Don’t Come Around Here No More is a song performed by the American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The song was inspired by a brief romantic affair between the song’s co-writer English musician and music producer David A. Stewart of the British music duo Eurythmics and the noted American singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame. A day after Nicks ended her relationship with guitarist Joe Walsh of the Eagles, she hosted a party at her Los Angeles home. Stewart was one of the guests she invited to the party. According to Stewart, as of that time, he didn’t know who Nicks was but attended the party all the same. And by the end of the party, he and Nicks had had a romantic encounter. Later the following morning, Nicks’ former boyfriend Walsh came to her house. Stewart, who was at that time still inside Nicks’ house, heard her kick him out of the house and tell him to never come to her place again. In an interview with the popular American talk show host Howard Stern on his radio show The Howard Stern Show, Stewart said the song’s title “Don’t Come Around Here No More” were the exact words Nicks told Walsh as she kicked him out of her house.

"Don't Come Around Here No More" is a song written by Tom Petty of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and David A. Stewart of Eurythmics. It was released in February 1985 as the lead single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Southern Accents album. Background and writing[edit]The original inspiration was a romantic encounter that producer David A. Stewart of Eurythmics had with Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.[3] On The Howard Stern Show, Stewart explained that the title's phrase was actually uttered by Nicks. She had broken up with Eagles singer and guitarist Joe Walsh the night before,[4] and invited Stewart to her place for a party after an early Eurythmics show in Los Angeles. Stewart did not know who she was at the time, but went anyway. When the partygoers all disappeared to a bathroom for a couple of hours to snort cocaine, he decided to go upstairs to bed. He woke up at 5 a.m. to find Nicks in his room trying on Victorian clothing and described the entire scenario as very much reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Later that morning, when Walsh came by to find Nicks, Stewart heard Nicks throw Walsh out, saying "Don't come around here no more." According to Nicks, the song was originally written for her album Rock a Little, but she declined it after Petty performed the vocals for her, feeling she could not do the song justice.[5] Reception[edit]"Don't Come Around Here No More" is widely regarded as one of Petty's best songs. In its contemporary review of the song, Cash Box said that it "features a surprisingly ethereal assortment of sounds including purely psychedelic guitars" and that "Petty’s gut-wrenching lead vocal...is the captivating soul of the song."[6] In 2017, Billboard ranked the song number six on their list of the 20 greatest Tom Petty songs,[7] and in 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the song number three on their list of the 50 greatest Tom Petty songs.[8] Music video[edit]The music video is themed around the 1865 Lewis Carroll novel Alice in Wonderland, and was directed by Jeff Stein. Stewart appears as the caterpillar at the beginning, sitting on a mushroom with a hookah water pipe while playing a sitar. Petty appears in the video dressed as The Mad Hatter, and actress/singer Louise Foley played Alice.[9] Alice eats a cake given to her by Stewart and tumbles into a black/white-patterned realm similar to the "Mad Tea Party" scene from Alice in Wonderland. She experiences a succession of bizarre events, culminating in her body being turned into a cake and eaten by the guests at the tea party. The video ends with Petty swallowing Alice whole, burping softly, and wiping his mouth with a napkin. Personnel[edit]The Heartbreakers
