What Can You Do for Me

"What Can You Do for Me" is a song by English electronic group Utah Saints. It was released on 12 August 1991[1] as the first single from their debut album, Utah Saints (1992). The song reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and number three on the UK Dance Singles Chart. It uses samples from "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)" by Eurythmics and "Ain't Nothin' Goin' on But the Rent" by Gwen Guthrie.

Critical reception edit

Cathi Unsworth from Melody Maker wrote, "Excellent! A dance track that incorporates everything groovy, from a hard metallic beat to deliciously disenchanted vocals to an inbred knowledge of why wearing platform boots is an ace fashion statement."[3]
