"Do It Like We Used To Do" appreciation thread!
I was coming back from uni yesterday, waiting for the train at almost midnight. And Do It Like We Used To Do started on my player.

It was as if I heard that song for the first time all over again. I haven't listened that one in a while, and I thought to myself 'damn, this is one hell of a song!'. Upbeat, strings, horns, almost 8 minutes long. And it's taken from the A Funk Odyssey era!

Some of their best songs are B sides. I wonder why the hell they are not in the final version of the album (Bullet being my prime example).

I want this kind of songs in the new album, just musicians playing their instruments, that's it.

So, this is the appreciation topic for this song. Tell us what you think! And if you haven't listened to it for a while, give it a new try.



Do It Like We Used To Do

I hear that music play same as yesterday
I hear that music play makes me wanna do it again
Do you remember when the D.J. used to send
A melting honey bomb
Send it to my ears express
So drop it steadily
Push me astrally
Cos when it touches me
You know my body starts to get possessed
So watch me come on through
Cos then my music lives in you
I feel obliged to do
Do it, just do it like we used to do

Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do
Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do
Come on now do it yeah

I wanna do it, Got to do it
I wanna do it, Got to do it
I wanna do it

Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do
Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do

I hear that music play same as yesterday
I hear that music play makes me wanna do it again
Do you remember when the D.J. used to send
A melting honey bomb
Send it to my ears express oh yes
So drop it steadily
Push me astrally
Cos when it touches me
My body starts to get possessed
Now watch me come on through
Cos then my music lives in you
You feel obliged to do
Do it like we used to do

Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do
Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it
You know we got to do it
Do it like we used to do
Maybe I wanna do it (Do it baby)
Maybe I gotta do it (Do it now baby)
You know we got to do it (Do it now)
Do it like we used to do
Maybe I wanna do it
Maybe I gotta do it (Do it now babe)
You know we got to do it (Do it)
Do it like we used to do
Come on now do it yeah
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Maybe I wanna do it

I think is a great song too.

I think it was removed from the album because it doesn't fit with the album's style.

maybe didn't fit with the concept of a funk odyssey, but there was "stop don't panic" Rolling Eyes too...

yeah, a great song, the guitar is funky as hell in this one, so are the strings, the drums... amazing, after all, I consider A.F.O a great album.

Do it like we used to do, snooze you lose, Time won't wait plus Soul Education and Where Do we go from Here are AMAZING!
A pure moment of Jamirogroove!

I wish there will be one or two tracks like this on RDLS! Wink
