''Waking up the Neighbours'' is a Rock album by Canadian Singer/songwriter Bryan Adams released in 1991 (see 1991 In Music ). The album was recorded at Battery Studios in England , and at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver , mixed at Mayfair Studios in England, and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in New York City . " (Everything I Do) I Do It For You " was number one on the British charts for a record-breaking sixteen weeks.

Other released singles were: "Do I Have to Say the Words?", "All I Want Is You", "Touch the Hand", "Can't Stop This Thing We Started", "Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven", and "There Will Never Be Another Tonight".

"(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was the theme song for the film '''' in 1991. It was written by Adams, Robert John "Mutt" Lange , and Michael Kamen .

The album was also notable in Canada for creating controversy concerning the system of Canadian Content . Although Adams was Canada's biggest recording star at the time, his collaboration with the BritishWhite-Zimbabwean Lange meant that, under the rules in force until 1991, ''Waking up the Neighbours'' did not qualify as Canadian content.

In September of that year, the Canadian Radio-television And Telecommunications Commission announced that the Canadian content rules would be changed to allow collaborations with non-Canadians.
