How Do You Do!
"How Do You Do!" is a pop song by Swedish pop duo Roxette. It was released as their first single from the album Tourism. The single spent eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #58 in the United States. It was a bigger hit in Europe, reaching #2 in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, and peaking at #13 in the UK Singles Chart.
Musical analysis
A common Roxette trait is to have a different key signature in the verse to the chorus, and this song follows that rule. The verse is in C, using powerchords of C F and G. With a pause, Marie breaks into "How Do You Do!" as the song moves up to the key of E flat.
Lyrics
Per Gessle mentions the singer Tiny Tim in the lyrics: "I love your blue-eyed voice, like Tiny Tim shines thru".
