Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)
"Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" is the first hit single for British sophisti-pop group Scritti Politti. It peaked at #10 in the UK singles charts, becoming the group's first Top 10 entry there. It appears on the group's album ''Cupid & Psyche 85'' and was produced by Arif Mardin. The song's subtitle is a reference to ''I Say a Little Prayer'', Aretha Franklin's biggest UK hit, which was also produced by Mardin.

Writing in a 2011 interview with Green Gartside, Robin Turner said:
In April '84, "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)" crackled over airwaves from Anglesey to Arizona like an alien radio transmission beamed out to an unsuspecting planet. A gleaming, chromium nugget molded by ultra-modernist studioheads, it heralded in three and a half minutes the dramatic, bravura transformation of a band called Scritti Politti. Formerly a DIY squat punk band, they were now a group doused in glinting pop sheen. ... The resultant LP, Cupid and Psyche 85, yielded a string of radio-slaying singles ("Wood Beez...", "Absolute", "The Word Girl" and "Perfect Way") that segued fluently between ultra-slick robotised funk and meticulously constructed swoonsome lovers rock. Huge sales followed.〔()〕
