"Anything She Does"
Song

Anything She Does is a song by the British band Genesis, appearing as the fifth track on their highly successful 1986 album Invisible Touch. The lyrics were written by keyboard player Tony Banks.

The All Music Guide has described the song's lyrics as "a humorous look at pin-up models" [1]. Lyrically, the song draws comparisons to Genesis' 1980 single Turn It On Again, as both deal with longing for fictional figures. Musically, the band employed a horn section throughout the song, similar to their 1981 song No Reply at All.

This was the only track off Invisible Touch that Genesis did not play live on their subsequent tour.

Video

Though not officially released as a single, a music video of the song exists. It features Benny Hill as an incompetent security guard whom many fans can sneak past to get backstage while the band rehearses. He later finds the people who've snuck past him have made a mess of a hospitality room, yet manages to clear them all out and restore the room to its original condition just as the band returns to see it.
