Any Way You Want It (The Dave Clark Five Song)
"Any Way You Want It" is a single by The Dave Clark Five, from the United States album, '' Coast to Coast'' (1964). "Any Way You Want It" was written by Dave Clark. It hit number No. 25 in the UK Singles Chart, and No. 14 in the United States. It is notable for its use of echo and reverb made by an Echoplex. "Any Way You Want It" was performed on many US variety shows, such as ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' and ''Shindig!''. As the song used many production techniques, it had to be lip synched on television performances. In the United Kingdom, the B-side to "Any Way You Want It" was " Because".
