Every Little Thing She Does is Magic // The Police // POMPLAMOOSE

One of my favorite songs by The Police. In the original, the chorus always felt like a different song from the verse. Don’t get me wrong, I love the original! But I wanted the verse to feel a little more like the same song in this rendition. So we made it a little more peppy. Peppy…that’s the word.

A cover of The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" by Pomplamoose.

LYRICS
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me
That ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me
In some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I love how sparse the verses are on this arrangement - how the instruments take turns filling in gaps. ALSO, those background vocals in the chorus. 😍😍😍 WE GET TO WORK WITH THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE!!!

[artrolf]

That lady has a very distinctive voice, which is fun to listen to.

A life long Police/Sting fan here. This is an absolutely fabulous version of the song, maintaining your originality and integrity as artists while presenting a homage to the music of the great man. While I still like the Symphonicities version of this song the best, please keep doing Sting's music. 10/10 for this one.

[aronmeza]

What a beautiful version. Lovely. I enjoy The Police tracks so much.

[marcogiai-coletti]

I love how you all enjoy what you're doing.

A really, really nice take on that song! It bumps along nicely. The overlayed harmonies are heavenly; they are always my favorite thing about your work, along with all of the nuanced singing. So dreamy and trippy. I've been listening to music since before stereo first came out, and I was always so tickled by sound processing once it became that kind of thing. And your production values take me back to those days when it was all so fresh. It's one thing to watch a video of you folks playing and singing. It's another thing to play it loud on the stereo or while driving. The sound is always fabulous.

Inspired; brilliant! Thank you, all of you, for upcycling an old favorite into a new favorite. Eee yoh

[aipot]

I listened to this over and over to get the nerve to talk to my now wife of almost 40 years.

[ExtraFancy]

That little "eeeohhhh" and the look at the end killed me 🤣 spectacular arrangement and mixing as always!

[mrclucker]

Well pepped, well pepped indeed. It's like a whole new song and I like it a lot! Thank you

[andrevilaca]

this one just hit the spot guys, my mood is lifted for the rest of the week!!

[nordicson]

Always love your posts, my daughter is a fan too, wants to know if you would do Mr Grinch... and more "French songs"

[previllion]

Every little song they do is magic 🪄

Edit: I would lose my mind if you all did a cover of Peter Gabriel. Big Time, In Your Eyes, or Sledgehammer would be awesome, or even I Know What I Like from the early days of Genesis!

[MrGreatplum]

A very different take - loved it!

Also, jack’s face is a picture!

Amazing how many backing singers live in that retro tv

[Cherr]

I absolutely love this treatment--just what the song needed. Your arrangement really brings out the harmonic brilliance of the bridge (and the technical brilliance of your players). I also love the playful, joyful spirit you guys bring to everything you do. Thank you!

[cooldebt]

Listening to Pomplamoose covers is the best exercise for my brain!💪 Magical cover 🎶

[lynusbinkley]

Excellent rendition of an excellent song!

[arielvining]

I honestly already thought that this song existed, such a natural fit!

[vincentpiquot]

Excellent, un grand plaisir à écouter,

[mrmitchell]

It’s almost illegal how good these covers are.
