Natural Selection was an American pop group, best known for their 1991 hit "Do Anything", which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] It also peaked at number ten on the Australian ARIA Charts in 1991.

History

"Do Anything" was written and recorded on a 4-track recorder in Minnesota. The song sat unfinished until Erickson began working on it again in 1989. The rap was originally recorded by Ingrid Chavez, a friend of the duo who improvised the rap in the studio. In 1990, the version with Chavez doing the raps was a local hit on Minnesota's WLOL-FM, where Erickson worked as a remix engineer. Once Natural Selection was signed to a recording contract, Chavez's raps were re-recorded by Niki Haris, because Chavez was by then under contract with Paisley Park Records.[2]

Their self-titled debut (and lone) album was released in November 1991.[2] Erickson and Thomas produced the album themselves.[3]
