They also hosted the NBA Jams Music video, a VHS promotional release for the video game NBA Jam that contained music videos intercut with professional basketball highlight footage. The video for "Live and Learn" is contained on it, as well as improved live footage between video segments.
2. Joe Public, Bristol U.K. - Power Pop / Mod / New Wave
Kevin Leadbetter (4 November 1961 - 11 January 2017) (original singer, songwriter)
Rob Marche (guitar/b.vox)
John Shennan (L.Vox/bass) & Geoff Allsop (Drums)...
Nick Sheppard joined in the band in 1980
Because Mr Shennan sang and played bass - Joe public could function as a three piece and the fact that he was a left-handed player giving them a symmetry on stage.
They did a handful of gigs in and around Bristol and Nick Sheppard (who had been in The Spics with John) joined on guitar.
At this point in time Marche was offered the opportunity to move to London to play guitar for Johnny Britton who was managed by Bernie Rhodes (manager of The Clash) - and he leapt at it. The band fizzled out after this - John formed The Shennans, playing much the same songs - and Nick Sheppard joined The Clash MK2. These are the only demos the band recorded.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you look so good
Like BBD said
You're so dope
And girl I just can cope
What would you do
If I told you I want to sex you up
Until you get enough
You know that I want it
You know what I like
You know I could sex your body up
All nite
You know that I need it
You know that it's time
You know I can help my self
Cause you're so fine
Do you, I wanna do you everynite
Do you, you know that I could do it right
Can I whisper something nasty
To you in your car
The things you wanna hear
Cause I can make your body sweat
Until the break of dawn
So girl lets get it on.
Do you, I wanna do you everynite
Do you, you know that I could do it right
The lyrics to Joe Public's song, "Do You Everynite" speaks about physical attraction and sexual desire towards a woman. The song starts off by describing how good the woman looks to the singer, as he finds her irresistible. The reference to BBD (Bell Biv DeVoe) praises the woman for being "dope," which means she is amazing and impressive. The singer then expresses his desire to have sex with the woman, as he asks what she would do if he told her that he wanted to "sex her up" all night until she cannot take it anymore.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to make sexual advances towards the woman, highlighting how he knows what she wants and needs. He promises to please her all night, as he asks for permission to share some "nasty" words with her in her car. The singer also states that the woman makes it hard for him to control himself, as he finds her appealing and attractive.
Overall, the lyrics speak about the physical aspect of a relationship and the strong desire to connect sexually with another person. The song is catchy with a repetitive chorus and a smooth R&B beat that complements the sultriness of the lyrics.
