How do you do
Mouth Macneal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I said I wanted you
I don't remember why
I often wonder if it's true
That you could make me cry
I only know it's long ago
You said I love you too
But I got one solution that
We're gonna start anew

How do you do
Mm Mm
I thought
Wa-na na-na, na-na
Just me and you
And then we can
Na-na, na-na
Just like before
And you will say
Na-na, na-na
Please give me more
And you will think
Na-na, na-na
Hey that's what I'm living for

How do you do
Uh huh
I thought
Why na na-na

Na-na, na-na
Just like before
And you will say
Na-na, na-na
Please give me more
And you will think
Na-na, na-na
Hey that's what I'm living for

Once I said I wanted you
And I remember why
I often wonder if it's true
You still can make me cry
And now it's not so long ago
You said I love you true
'Cause I had one solution left
And that's we start anew

How do you do
Uh huh
I thought
Wa-na na-na
Just me and you

Overall Meaning

The song "How Do You Do?" by Mouth and MacNeal is about an estranged couple trying to reconcile after a past disagreement. In the first verse, the singer reflects on how they once wanted to be with their partner but can't remember what happened that made them cry. The chorus then introduces the idea of starting over, with the singer imagining a scenario where they are alone with their partner and things are just like they were before. The second verse takes a more melancholic tone as the singer admits their partner can still make them cry and wonders if their affection is genuine. The chorus repeats, with the singer hoping they can restart their relationship and elicit the same passion as before.

The lyrics of the song are catchy, with a simple melody and upbeat rhythm. The chorus is particularly memorable and is sung in a playful tone. Despite the happy-sounding melody, the lyrics reveal a deeper meaning that many listeners can relate to.

SO COOL!!! My family & I were walking through the Maine Mall during the holidays and just checking out what was going on. A Bunch of people were
dancing so we walked by them then we heard this song playing in a record store!!! My mother & My Aunt Rose were walking in front of me, my Sister Eva
& my Girlfriend Debbie. My sisters Nancy & Caroline were Behind us. This song started to play and I was teasing my mother. She took my hand and we
proceeded to put on a dance show in front of everyone!!! My Aunt, my Sisters Nancy & Caroline started to laugh. My Sister Eva & my Girlfriend Debbie
started dancing with me & my mother. Everyone started gathering Around us and clapping to the beat. That just turned my energy up EVEN MORE!!! I grabbed
my Girlfriend Debbie and fired her in the air and spun around while I caught her!!! Everyone FREAKED OUT!!!! After we got done everyone cheered & applauded
us !!! People came up to my mother & said, " WHO are these KIDS"!!! My Mother replied, " My kids have been dancing since they were babies"!!! One person
asked my Sister Eva about me throwing my Girlfriend in the air. My Sister Eva told them, " My Brother & my Sister do this all the time"!! My Adopted Sister
Debbie is a gymnast & my Brother Allie is VERY NERVOUS & HIGH ENERGY"!!! When he gets Upset Or Excited he turns people into flying Projectiles!!!!!

He loved this song (by mouse & meal😁) and the only words he would sing were Nah,nah,nah,nah, nah,nah,nah,nah... he's 55 now and still he only sings the Nah,nah,nah,nah part but he knows the words.☺️

Mouth and MacNeal was a Dutch pop duo that enjoyed some commercial success in the 1970s. They are best known for their million selling recording of "How Do You Do" in 1972, which topped the Dutch chart and became a U.S. top ten hit."How Do You Do," music and lyric by Hans van Hemert and Harry van Hoof.

Nah - I'd say they are more known for the songs "Hello-A" and "I See a Star" - both of whom topped the Swedish chart in the 70's.

Some genius said they Mouth and McNeil were known for “Hello-A” but that is horse manure. In the US “How Do You Do’ is the only song fans of the early 70’s remember them from.

I heard a cover of this on a Tejano radio station yesterday (in Spanish). Forgot to look up the few English lyics I could
remember when I got home yesterday. This morning I couldn't remember anything except that the song had a lot of
"na na na na"s in it. Thought I would never know what song it was (too many other songs with "na na na na" in them).
But, tonight, "How do you do? na na" popped in to my mind out of nowhere.

Entrei nos 1970 com 14 anos. Vivi tudo isso. Fiz de tudo. Fui hippie, viajei de carona. Mochileiro raiz, dormi nas ruas praias etc... Vivia vendendo artezanano frente as baladas e nas praias....Servi o exército em 1975. Dancei; ri; chorei. Vivi tudo que pude nos anos 1970. Não sou saudozista mas admito; - o Brasil de hoje nãotem nada a ver com o de antes. A loucura não beirava a demência da sociedade de hoje. Sou fo tempo que "droga era maconha, paz e amor. Hoje droga é crack e metralhadora". Nunca irei aceitar esse Brasil de hoje...

Ah, stumbled across this, never heard of the duo, but must have heard it in the 70s when I was in my 20s. I absolutely love it, am playing it over and over including the one where they sing to police in Russia or somewhere. Both voices are marvellous, his deep and thoaty and hers so rich and lovely.
