Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) "Anything You Can Do" is a song composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun". The song is a duet, with one male singer and one female singer attempting to outdo each other in increasingly complex tasks. In the musical, the song sets the scene for the climactic sharpshooting contest between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Its most memorable lines are, "Anything you can do I can do better; I can do anything better than you." The song was first performed in "Annie Get Your Gun" by
No One Can Do It Better by Run-D.M.C. with a heavy guitar riff throughout the song (it borrows from Funkadelic's "Cosmic Slop"). All five then-current members of N.W.A contributed to this album. Beats were produced by Dr. Dre, with Eazy-E being the executive producer. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and Eazy all provide vocals for "The Grand Finalé", while Ren also provides vocals for "Comm. 2". Yella performs on "Comm. Blues", "Comm. 2" and "The Grand Finalé" as a drummer. "No One Can Do It Better" also features additional vocals by Krazy Dee (who also co-wrote the N.W.A song "Panic Zone" from "N.W.A. and the Posse"),
