LYRICS

I like the way you put yourself together
Nobody does that quite the way you do
I like the way you put yourself together
Nobody does that quite like you

Nobody does that
Nobody does that
Nobody does that

I like the way you’re holding my attention
Nobody does that quite the way you do
That stuff too hot for me to mention
Nobody does that quite like you

Nobody does that
Nobody does that

I like the way you work the opposition
Nobody does that quite the way you do
When you want to smoke the competition
Nobody does that quite like you

Nobody does that
Nobody does that
Nobody does that

I like the way you put yourself together
Nobody does that quite the way you do
I like the way you put yourself together
Nobody does that quite like you

Nobody does that
Nobody does that
Nobody does that

Not bad actually, at least the funky beat is appropriate for this song. So maybe this song plays on the background of One Song At A Time? I'm not an expert, but it's a pretty bad mistake if they left the other song playing in the background while recording :lol :lol :lol

It is harsh but I don't like it myself.  I can't find anything in it at all.  It's not even good of it's type. 

It is good however that it is the only song so far I can actually say that I don't like, meaning I already like this album more than Tracker!

Very innovative song in the MK world. Very "70s", the sax has a call to GOYS, but overall the song is heard, even if it is hard to think that Mark produces such a sound. Discrete.

Same words again and again ;D I remember somebody already told me that on this forum.
So this organ sound is really the best they could've come up with? You seriously think that?

I love it, too. But Guy wants to make staccato continental his signature sound in Mark's music it seems.

Nice to hear a totally different song from what we’re used to and furthermore it’s well executed and produced. But at the same time to me it is a non original and dated sound and not a song containing the qualities I’ve come to love Mark’s music for.

Well said. When I was picking out this song on guitar, I was constantly thinking "what's the purpose of this song, what's the purpose".

And there's no purpose, it's just for the entertainment. Shake your moneymaker, baby. Closer to the floor preferably.

I must correct myself about the Fletcher Crap though. This one is pure 70's funk with great brass on it. I start  to like it more and more as soon as I agree with it being nothing more than a fun number. It is worked out and done in a great way. Mea culpa.

Buy the way, the sound of this organ reminds me the song "Bertha" by Guy Fletcher OBE, Guy Fletcher's uncle. And it was for BBC Children's TV series Bertha. The song Nobody Does That also sounds like a soundtrack for something. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you all know what I think.

Title: Re: (08) Nobody Does That ##* Spoiler Lyrics *##
Post by: Love Expresso on November 11, 2018, 09:38:32 PM
Yes I do! But that's the kind of musical quotation I can live with and which is no problem. I think this song is extremly well arranged. The brass section is really top and Nigel really shows what he is famous for.

It's funny that for years we moan about MK always doing the same and getting slower and slower and now that he really comes up with something new (in his departement of course, not new in the sense of innovative) we seem to be like a bunch of children that is wary of strangers ...

I am not  ;D ;)

since the first listen of this album I immediately said I love it ! all songs, except maybe Heavy up which si the weakest for me

I do love Nobody does that, and I do love this "superstition" flavour  :thumbsup

And yes, the main thing about this album is that "fresh and new" mood, that I enjoy the most.
I like the way Mark chose to "evolve".

I don't mind the Guy's production sound.
Even if I never have been found of Guy's work at all, I don't think that it "ruins" the songs here, as it had been sometimes said.

From trapper man to slow learner, absolutely no skipper for me, and a very very enjoying album !

I listened to it last night after skipping it for a day and decided I actually quite like it!  Maybe I have to be in a certain mood for it or maybe I was simply taken aback the first time, who knows?  Never going to be a classic but it's a quirky, enjoyable and fun tune.
