[hide]  *1 History  ==History[ edit] == The song was written by Mike Duke and Phil Cody. Duke had previously written the song, "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do", the News' second top 40 hit from the 1982 album, Picture This, and went on to write, "Let Her Go and Start Over," a minor adult contemporary hit for the band, from the album, Plan B, in 2001. ==Music video[ edit] == The music video for "Doing It All for My Baby" was a parody of monster movies and was over 7 minutes long. Huey appears as himself, the Dr. Frankenstein character, and the singing monster. Dracula is portrayed by bass player Mario Cippolina, who is shown placing his own disembodied head in a jar on a table (Mario also appears as half of the two-headed creature with drummer Bill Gibson). Igor is played by keyboarder Sean Hopper. The Tower of Power is shown chained to the back wall playing their horns while Frankenstein/Huey sings into a steaming test tube. The video ends with Igor foolishly throwing a large switch, turning the singing monster back into Huey, and the mummy-woman screaming in horror. ==Chart performance[ edit] ==
