"Garden Party" is a song written by Rick Nelson and recorded by him and his Stone Canyon Band in 1972. The lyrics describe Nelson's experience performing at Madison Square Garden in 1971, where his attempt to perform newer material was met with disapproval from a conservative audience who wanted to hear his older hits.
The chorus of the song includes the lyrics: "But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well / You see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself." The lyrics also reference other musicians including The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley.
Despite initial backlash from fans and critics who felt it was a departure from Nelson's earlier pop style, "Garden Party" became a hit and remains one of his signature songs. The message of the song has been interpreted as a call for artistic independence and a rejection of commercial expectations.
