	Story Behind the Song Up comes this guy, and says, what kind of stuff do you do? I say, well, we do what we do. And so I have the title for a song. Sure, we really only do twenty songs, me and Jimmy, maybe 30. This is a song for all pub duos, folk club casual groups, jammers and buskers! The words were written one night, and polished up and recorded a few days later. The recording took about an hour in total. The lead vocal is Beyer M05 dynamic mike through a JoeMeek VC2 v2 Pro Channel, the guitar is my Lowden 0-10 miked with an AKG C1000S and played with a shaky egg in my hand. Then there's my Irish tenor banjo and a baritone ukelele, multitracked left and right of the main mix, and then there's two overdubbed vocals on the chorus, with different enhancer settings on the JoeMeek to suit the bass and tenor parts. Everything is one take, first take on a Roland VS-880 and there's some compression on the extra instruments and vocals, and some reverb on the lead vocal. Footnote: 2003 - I don't sing this much now, our session song guru Jimmy (mentioned in the song) fighting big C and looking OK after two years of the battle, but doctor's ain't funny no more. Lyrics The Doo Doo Song Oh we do what we do do What we do we do We've half and hour of repertoire And that's enough for you! We do what we do do We'll play it all and then We'll start once more where we began And do it all again! We know the songs that we know Because they're what we heard When we were young and sober Enough to learn the words! Well, we don't know what you know And we don't really care If you wanted karaoke You should have gone elsewhere! Oh we do what we do do We never need to pause Because we do what we do We never get applause Because we do what we do We never get a clap Except for Jimmy last month And the doctor's dealt with that! We do what we do do What we do we do We never need to practice And we never need to tune Oh we do what we do do And when we've done it here We'll go and do it somewhere else Where they've got decent beer! We do what we do do What we don't we don't What we like best is no requests So please leave us alone! Cause we do what we do do And when we've played it through We'll start again where we came in And do what we do do! © David Kilpatrick August 2000
