Template:Album infobox 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?", "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 Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991. It was written by Adams, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and the late 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 British–Rhodesian 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.
