"Anything She Does" is a song by the British band Genesis. It appears as the fifth track on their highly successful 1986 album "Invisible Touch", opening the second side of the vinyl and cassette editions. The lyrics were written by keyboard player Tony Banks.

Lyrically, the song draws comparisons to the band's 1980 single Turn it on Again, as both deal with longing for fictional figures. Allmusic has described the song's words as "a humorous look at pin-up models" [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:eh8gtq6znuhp] . The brass sound in the song is played on an Emu Emulator by Tony Banks. The sample itself is taken from a horn chart of one of the band's previous songs, "Paperlate", which featured the Earth, Wind & Fire horn section.

"Anything She Does" was the only track from "Invisible Touch" that Genesis did not play live on their subsequent tour. Tony Banks claimed it was too difficult to play in the documentary portion of their "Visible Touch" home video (now a bonus feature on the "Invisible Touch Tour" DVD).

Video

Though not officially released as a single, a music video of the song exists. It features Benny Hill (in his Fred Scuttle guise) as an incompetent security guard whom many fans sneak past to get backstage while the band rehearses. He later finds the people who have sneaked past him have made a mess of the 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. The most accessible form of the video exists most prominently on YouTube.
