I was just a kid when this song came out and it's always been a favorite. There's nothing really redeeming about it other than it's just a fun little pop ditty. I'm pretty sure this actually came out in 1972 because that's the year I really started listening to the radio and there were just so many great songs that came out that year. Brandy, Long Cool Woman, Go All The Way, Garden Party, Goodbye to Love, Backstabbers, etc., etc. Mouth and MacNeal were Dutch. Maggie MacNeal had a great voice. Mouth (Willem Duyn) had a voice that was more gruff, but I think it worked well with Maggie's. My brother actually bought the 45 RPM single of How Do You Do? and the flip side was a song called "Land of Milk and Honey" which was the only other song I had ever heard from them for many years. In the late 70s or early 80s, The Treasury store in Dallas had a $1 LP sale, so I bought the "How Do You Do?" album. It's actually a really good album. It has Maggie's solo single version of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" (the first version I remember hearing of that song, Mouth's version of "Walking In The Sand", the same song that Aerosmith later had a hit with. Other songs like "Hey, You Love" and "Tell Me World" are also favorites of mine. The album shows just how well pop can actually be done when you have talent.
This was a Dutch duo who had a couple of hits back in the early 70's . Mouth was Willem Duyn( died in 2004) and McNeal was Maggie McNeal, real name Sjoukje Smit. They both became well known due to the Eurovision Song-contest. In the 80's they both had a few hits but in Dutch language.
I remember this song was playing one summer day I was in my best friends moms' car, it smelled like peanut butter. We were heading to the beach to meet up with my mom and sisters. It was real warm out and the seat was hot. There was four of us in the back and I got my first kiss on the drive. This song was playing and for some 30+ years the first part of the choirs, just the melody no words was stuck in my head. Every so often it would pop in sometimes staying for weeks driving me nuts because I did not know who sang it or the name and I had so little of the tune that I could not remember the name. Then one day I was telling my daughter about it, she had me hum it to her as best as I could. Thought nothing of it but then for my birthday a few months later she had found it and gave me a copy of it on CD along with a BD card signed by every one that was in the car that day, some of whom I had not seen for many years. She told me she spent many hrs listening to songs from then to get the right one. Yes, it's not the best song but that beet, it can stick like glue and thanks to my daughter I now have it and Love it all the more.
Wow, what a coincidence!!! I came here to suggest a couple of songs for you to consider. Both are from the mid 70's, and done by Dutch groups singing in English. You may well have already done one or both of them. (1st) Mississippi by Pussycat. The singers are three sisters. My favourite video is the one that indicates 94M views, but there are others with over 1M. It's addictive. (2nd) Paloma Blanca by the George Baker Selection, The video I watch has 25M views and I've never really gone looking for others with a higher number. On the UA-cam page following this video are numerous others with more than 1M views. Again, addictive.
What a wonderfully upbeat and catchy song this is. If this song does not bring a smile to your face, I would sincerely wonder if the individual in question actually had a pulse.
You talked over the best part at the 2:10 mark. Song was all right but too repetitive except for that one section where she belts it out in contrast to her soft singing earlier.
Hi there. First time commenting. I've been watching reactions for a while now. Best two have been Jimmy Page/ Robert Plant Rain Song and Billy Vera/What did you think. Just a suggestion....Eric Carmen/ Never Gonna Fall In Love Again or Hungry Eyes?
Entertainingly offbeat one-hit wonder track that went to #8 (1971) in the USA anf #1 in several European countries. This colorful Dutch pop duo had a few more hits in their native Netherlands through 1974,
Hi Angela, I'm here today because I have a new love. It is the saddest of my life because she died almost 30 years ago. Nevertheless, you need to hear her and react - she'd be perfect for your "Friday night, ladies night". I'm talking about Selena, known as the queen of Tejano. But, she was in the middle of recording her long dreamed of English language album when she was cut down at the age of 23. I think her best song is "I Could Fall In Love": ua-cam.com/video/XBCDvINm0Vo/v-deo.html The video is mostly clips of her performances and public appearances, but as an accompaniment to the song it serves to show what a beautiful person she was, inside and out and why everybody that knew her, loved her. Please do this one! 🥺🙏
In 1971 I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. I thought this song was inane garbage. Now it just seems quaint and maybe a bit nostalgic.
That woman is soooo skinny lol. You can put the syllables in any song "nanananana" [baby talk really] and get a hit out of it. it's my generation's fault hahahha...the song is ridiculous but fun at a party I guess. every generation has some ridiculous songs....
There are so many great video versions of this song! I love everyone of them!!!!!
Then 3 years later, they entered the Eurovision Song Contest with 'I See A Star' and finished 3rd. ABBA won that year 😊

I remember this from Junior high days lol. I thought it was kind of silly the way they sang it, with overkill on the vocals
Thanks for sharing. I love hearing this stories about how a song or a movie was introduced to people or how they got to know it.
This was a Dutch duo who had a couple of hits back in the early 70's . Mouth was Willem Duyn( died in 2004) and McNeal was Maggie McNeal, real name Sjoukje Smit. They both became well known due to the Eurovision Song-contest. In the 80's they both had a few hits but in Dutch language.
Everybody was singing this song when it came out. It made your mind wander

And my early 70s crush on MacNeal has suddenly come roaring back.
its a big happy goof of a one-hit wonder. there are a number of wonderfully silly performance clips of them doing this song.

AM radio gold.
Fun song that was probably popular at the time. Definitely one to sing along to as you said-Colin Ward
Such a long time ago that I last heard this song in the Netherlands. Amazing that I now see it again here on your channel.
Dang girl. You're diving me pleasant flashbacks...
Damn, I remember this song, it’s a fun happy song, I’m sure it didn’t win a Grammy, lol
New subscriber here. Love this old tune.May I suggest “ Mendocino” by Sir Douglas Quintet?
Love the songs. And i think ur beautiful
This is a fun song to listen to! I don't know if they had any other hits! I wonder what nana nana signifies! Interesting and curious! Ciao you all!
Good song.

Which one's Mouth and which one's McNeal?
Mouth is the guy,McNeal the lady👍✌️
Marijuana was running amok as you can tell.😁
Such a hippie tune.....
You really have no idea what hippie means do you.
Hey Angela, how about Memories by the Temptations.

OOOOOP'S 😳 I Didn't Know You Can't Post Links In The Comments 😳🫤🥴
What my favorite was my favorite, the Android? Looking up the pretty baby angela she's so pretty pretty baby she is
Impossible to be taken seriously.
In 1971 I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. I thought this song was inane garbage. Now it just seems quaint and maybe a bit nostalgic.
Roxette actually does a song with the same title that’s way more entertaining
Hi Angela all for leyna by billy Joel and my Cherie amour by Stevie wonder
Angela,BROKEN VOW by LARA FABIAN,Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😢😢😢
Apache rap by sugar Hill gang please 😃
That woman is soooo skinny lol. You can put the syllables in any song "nanananana" [baby talk really] and get a hit out of it. it's my generation's fault hahahha...the song is ridiculous but fun at a party I guess. every generation has some ridiculous songs....
Is it me or doesnt this song feels very European? Something military yet cherry, ompa bompa music :) quite far removed from country, folk and blues
Yes, because Mouth and McNeal are from Holland.
