Chart History
From the album Toulouse Street,
Listen to the Music was a
#11 Pop hit for Doobie Brothers in 1972.
Songwriter: Tom Johnston
J's Journal:
This was one of our earliest attempts to sing a song about who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The opening line, "Practice in the basement, each Monday," is a reference to what we did (first in Jeff's basement, later in Rick's living room and finally Karl's basement) every Monday from 1990-98. Ironically, I think this parody was written during one of those Monday night practices in Jeff's basement.
I did some dreadful harmonies on this song. We take a whole day now to record vocals for a song or two whereas we used to take a day or two for a whole album!
