"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" is a Hit Single by British rock group The Police . The song reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom and hit number 3 in the United States . It is in D Major .

Although released in 1981, ''.

Sting added this bit of "Every little thing..." lyrics to the end of "O My God" on the Police 's 1983 release '' Synchronicity '':

"Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days

Since we first met?

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet."


By borrowing this phrase from "Every Little Thing," one could speculate that Sting was drawing a comparison between the helplessness the first-person narrator feels in "Every Little Thing" and the helplessness his singer is voicing in "O My God" in his attempt to gulf the distance between himself and God .

The American rock band Ra covered this song for their 2005 album '' Duality ''.

The piano part was added by session keyboardist Jean Roussel who pestered the band to allow him to play on the track, against Sting's original wishes.

"Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" was performed by the fictional band Scrantonicity on the episode of ''The Office'' entitled " Phyllis' Wedding ", with lead vocals by the character Karen , who is played by Rashida Jones .

Shawn Colvin also recorded the song (albeit with an appropriate pronoun change) on her 1994 Grammy-nominated album ''Cover Girl'' {Link without Title} .

The Blow use the lyrics of the chorus as the refrain in their song "Come On Petunia" .

American Soul pianist John Legend borrowed the instrumentation from the verses on his collaboration, "Around My Way" with Brooklyn MC Talib Kweli .

Warcraft II , a computer game produced by Blizzard Entertainment used the title of this song as a cheat code.
Also included on the "Bewitched" movie soundtrack.
