I like the Hermits Hermits ending there… perhaps segué into his Mersey Beat compatriots, Freddie and the Dreamers with How Do You Do What You Do To Me.

12 bar blues standard format.

I was thinking of it more from a lyrical aspect rather than musical format.

Kate's been working on a home base

It's been more than a year or two

We don't play home finals at Casey

Against the Cats or Roos

I guess patience is a virtue 

I got the straight sets red and blues

I prefer the surfaris ... don't need any words ... besides, more my era

More than that, most people have us missing the 8 entirely

I think it was Gerry and the Pacemakers who sang that one. Freddy’s biggest hit was I’m Telling You Now. As in, I’m telling you now… we won’t go out in straight sets in 2024!

I thought so too until I did a bit of searching, and it seems How Do You Do… was a Freddie and the Dreamers number.

Just checking that (Shows how much time I have on my hands.)

(10 mins later)

i can find multiple references to Gerry and the Pacemakers doing that song. It’s in their singles list, their greatest hits list and on YouTube.

As for Freddie et al and that song… ziltch. Maybe he did a cover version that was released on an obscure LP.

You’re absolutely correct, so please accept my apologies… but I will be having words with my oncologist about the drug regime she currently has me on! 🤣

I got the straight sets red and blues

And for a seamless transition into verse 3 :

Dee girls are red

Dee boys are blue

Along came the finals

And both teams shot through.

 

You'd be forgiven for thinking it was from the same author poet

"I got the straight set blues

From my head to my shoes

When the forwards fire a shot

It's always there it is not

Those straight set blues

Those straight set blues.

I've got those straight set blues

Those old straight set blues

Well you should see strong men quail

Or just a Maynard fail

Those straight set blues

Those old straight set blues."
