Do Re Mi
Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield
This little creature was a-passing me
He got a whole lot of rhythm when he walks
And I can hear music, baby, when he talks
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
Forget about the dough and think about me, oh yeah
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
I wonder who can this creature be?
He ain't no picture as I can see
But I don't care he looks so good to me
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
Forget about the dough and think about me
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
I'd like to love you, yeah, yes sirree
It may sound crazy but it's a fact
Hey, tell me, baby, baby, how you gonna act?
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
Forget about the dough and think about me, oh yeah
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
Let's get together and make whoopee
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Cupid's shootin' arrows straight by me
Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti
Forget about the dough and think about me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
The cat's in the cupboard and you can't catch me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Forget about the dough and think about me
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Cupid's shootin' arrows straight by me, oh, yes
Do Re Mi - Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield's 1964 recording of 'Do Re Mi' stands as a pivotal moment in her career, marking her transition from the British Invasion to a distinctively soulful and theatrical style. The track, originally written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, was reimagined by Springfield with her signature vocal delivery, blending operatic flair with R&B influences to create a sound that would define her later work. Released during a period of intense creative experimentation, the song showcased her ability to reinterpret classic material, setting the stage for her subsequent success with hits like 'Son of a Preacher Man.' This recording remains a testament to her unique voice and her enduring impact on the development of soul and pop music in the mid-1960s.
