Song 792: This week the playlist recognizes How Do You Do it? by Gerry and the Pacemakers, written by Mitch Murray, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. Soon after the Beatles rocked my world in February of 1964, a bunch of their fellow British Invaders came along and got us younger types going along with their musical rides, including another Liverpool group who asked a question about someone's effective techniques. Back then, as I approached my first teenage year, I could have asked the same question that the singer does in this tune, since I had no idea what sparked my attraction to a certain young female of a similar age. I didn't have a clue as to how she gave me a feeling in my heart, like an arrow passing through it, but I could never find out what triggered that appeal because in the spring of the following year, her family moved on to the West Coast.
