Background

In "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", the singer acknowledges the world in an uproar, a jungle and a rat race, filled with enough tragic problems to cause a person to resort to the most desperate measures. However, he resolves to not face them until at least the next day, insisting that he will not allow anything to disturb him for the night. He then concludes by asking the bartender for a double. The song became a hit in the U.S. and Canada, reaching #14 and #15, respectively.''Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-1990'' - It did not chart outside North America. The song was part of a U.S. chart phenomenon known as "The Frozen Fourteen" in August 1978. After the whole top 14 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 did not move during the two weeks ending August 12 and 19, 1978 (this song being the one at number 14), it then dropped out of the top 40.
