"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Store Boys and soul singer Dusty Springfield, taken from the duo'southward 2d studio album, Really (1987). The song was released as the second single from the anthology on x Baronial 1987.

A commercial success in both the United Kingdom and United States, the song helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Following the unmarried, the Pet Shop Boys wrote and produced the singles "Aught Has Been Proved" and "In Private" for Springfield, both included on her album Reputation (1990).

Groundwork [edit]

"What Take I Washed to Deserve This?" marked Pet Shop Boys' first major collaboration with another recording artist.[ane]

The song was originally written and demoed around Christmas 1984 with the help of notable American songwriter Allee Willis[2] Information technology was originally intended for use on Please, but the problem was to make up one's mind who'd sing the other half of the duet. Various contemporary singers were suggested to them, but none of them seemed suitable for the vocal. Eventually their manager's assistant suggested Dusty Springfield, whose album Dusty in Memphis (from 1969) was often acknowledged by Neil Tennant as his favourite LP.[ii]

According to Tennant, EMI—their record characterization Parlophone'southward parent company—did not desire the duo to piece of work with Springfield, instead suggesting Tina Turner or Barbra Streisand for the collaboration.[1] Springfield'south career had declined from its peak in the 1960s, with her last elevation 40 entry on the Britain Singles Chart being "How Can I Exist Sure" in 1970.[iii] The Independent 'south Adam Sweeting described the ensuing years for Springfield every bit "a litany of unmemorable albums, while her individual life became a complimentary-autumn into drugs, booze and cocky-mutilation".[4] However, Tennant was insistent on choosing Springfield for the song,[i] having long admired Dusty in Memphis (1969).[iv]

Initially, inside a few weeks of sending a tape of the song to Springfield'southward managing director, word came back that she wasn't interested in doing the duet, and so the song was left off Delight.[2] Springfield was unfamiliar with Pet Shop Boys, yet, she heard "West End Girls" on the radio and liked the song.[4] Several months later, the duo's manager heard back from her director saying she wanted to do the duet.[2] According to Tennant, Springfield was without a recording contract past the time of their collaboration.[v] Springfield, at the time living in California, returned to London for the song's recording just earlier Christmas 1986.[6] [2] According to Chris Welch of The Independent, Springfield "didn't know quite what the group wanted", but Tennant explained to her they wanted her distinctive "husky, blatant voice" to feature.[half-dozen]

Tennant recalls of the song session with Springfield:

"She arrived at the studio on time, in a black leather designer jacket and high-heeled boots, with blonde hair and black eye make-upward, clutching the lyric-canvas of the vocal, annotated and underlined. Chris Lowe, Stephen Hague and I began to consult with the fable about how to sing our vocal and she was very overnice, surprisingly a niggling defective in self-confidence. Equally if by telepathy, a Dusty fan appeared on the studio doorstep and was invited in to listen. Dusty's English secretary arrived bearing a new compilation cassette. 'They go on repackaging the old songs,' the fable marvelled. Then she went through to sing.

Her vocalism was the same as ever. When she sang her solo part – 'Since y'all went away … ' – anybody in the command room smiled. She sounded just like she used to. Breathy, warm, thrilling. Like Dusty Springfield."[2]

Composition [edit]

"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a synth-pop song composed in the key of A minor. According to its sheet music, it features the moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute.[vii] In a review for AllMusic, Ned Raggett states the rails "springs to life with a seemingly off-kilter drum intermission, then slides right into a smart, deceptively unproblematic, and total-bodied combination of large drums and sparkling keyboards."[8]

Written by Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe and Allee Willis in early 1985,[9] Classic Popular noted the song'due south somewhat peculiar structure reflects the fashion information technology was equanimous: "Lowe wrote the riff and the music for the 'I bought you drinks, I bought you flowers' section; Tennant came upwardly with the poetry; and Willis wrote the 'Since you lot went away' part."[9] Tennant wrote the majority of the lyrics while on the bus home from his chore at Smash Hits.[9] Lyrically, Audio on Audio describes the song as "a number well-nigh the mundane lives of bored '80s yuppies",[x] while co-ordinate to Nick Levine for the BBC, the lyrics "reflect the emphasis placed on personal financial proceeds during the Thatcher and Reagan years", with the song'due south opening lines beingness "You always wanted a lover, I only wanted a job."[11]

The track was recorded at Advision Studios,[12] and produced by Stephen Hague, engineered past David Jacob and mixed past Julian Mendelsohn, who co-produced Actually, at Sarm Due west Studios.[10] While Tennant's vocal recording was relatively straightforward,[nine] Springfield was very particular with her vocals, according to Mendelsohn, who said: "Even though Dusty was a great singer, she was very long‑winded when it came to getting the vocals right to her ain satisfaction [...] I recollect Neil [Tennant] and I looking at each other as if to say, 'Christ, this is going to take forever.' And information technology did take forever. We ended up having to sift our way through 20 tracks of vocals, but we got a fantastic result in the finish, at which bespeak we looked at each other as if to say, 'Well, that's why she took and then long.'"[10]

Disquisitional reception [edit]

In a contemporary review in Boom Hits, Vici McDonald wrote: "The brilliant thing nearly the Pet Store Boys is that they get everything right – memorable tunes, perfect production, intelligent lyrics, excellent sleeves, loads of mode and a self-deprecating humour – a very rare combination. So, having decided to practice a duet with a soulful chicklet, they've naturally got the best – '60s songstress and living legend Dusty Springfield."[thirteen]

In a 2017 article for NME, Nick Levine called it "possibly the greatest pop song in history", writing: "Nosotros can chat 'hooks' and 'unusual construction' all you desire, but this song only has that thing: before it'southward fifty-fifty finished, you already want to play information technology again."[14]

Included in a feature of the all-time duets of all time by The Daily Telegraph, author Catherine Gee characterised the track as a "deceptively bouncy song of lovelorn misery was clearly written for two of the most idiosyncratic voices in pop. Neil Tennant raps a lugubrious poesy about spilt drinks and wilting flowers, earlier Dusty floats in with a raspy whisper stained by life'southward disappointments."[15] Craig Mclean of the same publication described the song as "a verifiable Eighties classic",[12] a view echoed past The Independent 'southward Graeme Ross, who chosen the song one of Springfield's all-time, writing: "An unmistakable and unforgettable Dusty vocal was layered over trademark Pet Shop Boys synth-popular and the effect was an Eighties archetype."[16] Caroline Westbrook of Metro called it "a thing of beauty" in an commodity on the nautical chart hits of 1987.[17]

American LGBT magazine The Advocate included the song in a listing of the 10 best queer duets, calling information technology i of "pop music's most memorable LGBT pairings".[18] Singer David McAlmont chosen "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" his "unassailable favourite vocal" of Springfield'due south in a feature published in The Observer celebrating pop music's landmark gay moments, describing her vocal performance as "a profound interpretation of [songwriter] Allee Willis's sugary chorus".[19]

Commercial performance [edit]

When released as a single in August 1987, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" peaked at number 2 in the United Kingdom and also at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, condign the fourth top ten hit for Pet Shop Boys every bit well as the biggest hit of Springfield'south career in the United States. The song likewise helped revive Springfield's career and led to an increase of sales and interest in her previous songs. The single made information technology to number 1 on the Irish gaelic singles chart, where it was Pet Shop Boys' second number 1 hitting in the infinite of but six weeks.

It fabricated meaning use of the theatre drapes and phase curtains for dramatic event.
