"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" is a song by The Rolling Stones from their 1973 album Goats Head Soup.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)"'s lyrics tell two stories: one based on the true story of New York City cops who shot a boy because they mistook him for a bank robber, and the second of a ten year old girl who dies in an alley of a drug overdose. It was seen as the Stones' most politically inclined work since Beggars Banquet's "Street Fighting Man" and "Sympathy for the Devil".
"Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" was first recorded in November and December 1972 before being re-recorded early the following summer. Jim Price arranged the song's horns and played sax (instead of Bobby Keys) and Chuck Findley took over for Price on trumpet. The song is noted for its use of "wah-wah" guitar by Mick Taylor. Richards played bass and Billy Preston played the piano and organ.
