Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song "Do Your Thing" is a song by English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx. It originally appeared on their second studio album, Rooty (2001), and was released as a CD single in Australia in 2003, reaching number 33 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Composition and video

The song samples the track "Fungii Mama" from Kenny Barron's album Lemuria-Seascape (1991). The song's music video was directed by Kim Gehrig, in her directorial debut, and features people in a park wearing t-shirts which mirror the song lyrics.[2]

Critical reception

The song is included on the 2011 experimental live album Basement Jaxx vs. Metropole Orkest. Reviewing the album for The Independent, Andy Gill said: "'Do Your Thing' is very New York in flavour, a big-band jazz groove led by piano, the audience clapping along with the rattling percussion as brash trombones and sinuous saxophone take brief solos before the strings whip the piece to its conclusion."[3][4]
