How Do You Do It?

"How Do You Do It? is a song written by Mitch Murray. It was picked up by George Martin, who recognised that it was a potential number 1 single; Martin offered it to the Beatles, who dutifully recorded it (after making a few tweaks), but decided that it didn't suit their style, so Martin handed it instead to Gerry and the Pacemakers, and it became their debut single, reaching number 1.
NOTE : The demo of How Do You Do It that was played to the Beatles by Martin was recorded by The Dave Clark Five (with vocals by Murray).
The Beatles' version was eventually released on Anthology 1.
