But “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” almost didn’t happen. The song, written by lead guitarist and vocalist Randy Bachman, was originally a “throwaway,” and there was an inside joke to it. While recording the song, Bachman stuttered as he sang the words “baby” and “nothing” in the chorus. The tongue-tied lyrics were part of a private joke aimed at Bachman’s brother and band manager, Gary, who had a speech impediment when he was a kid.
Bachman told the outlet that he never expected to include the song on the Not Fragile album. That changed when a Mercury Records A&R vice president asked for a suitable follow-up to BTO’s previous radio hits "Let It Ride" and "Takin' Care of Business."
Bachman told Ultimate Classic Rock that “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” narrowly missed making it onto the Not Fragile album because it was a “throwaway” instrumental that he jokingly added lyrics to. His plan had always been to mix one version of the song, which featured him stuttering over the lyrics, and send it to his brother as a joke.

BTO’s song has actually helped people
The Stuttering Foundation noted that BTO’s song was chosen because it was “the only such song with stuttering vocals that was about a real person who stuttered.”
