Do It Again is a song by American jazz-rock group Steely Dan, which was released as a single from their debut 1972 album Can't Buy A Thrill. The single version differed from the album version, shortening the intro, outro and two instrumental sections of the song.
Released in 1972, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 18, 1972 and reached #6 on the US charts in 1973.
On the 1972 release, the song was credited as "Trad" (for traditional), although it was probably written by the band's leaders, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (who most likely enjoyed the chic joke concerning the songwriting credits).
The song was among the first in popular music to include an organ solo featuring a pitch-shifting technique. The tune also has a notable electric sitar solo by Denny Dias.
"Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up)" is the second single from rapper Jay-Z's fourth album Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. The song features production by Rockwilder as well as guest vocals by singer Amil and rapper Beanie Sigel.
"Do It Again" is a song by the English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers and is the fifth track on their 2007 studio album We Are the Night. The song also features Ali Love and was released as the first single from that album in early June 2007 (see 2007 in British music). It reached its highest chart position in Italy, where it hit 2. It also made it into the UK Top 20, where it peaked at 12. It was released as a download on the iTunes Store on May 15, 2007. The music video for the song is directed by Michael Haussman and is set in rural Morocco. The song was nominated at the 50th Grammy Awards for "Best Dance Recording" but lost out to Justin Timberlake's "LoveStoned / I Think That She Knows".
Early versions of the song featured a sample of the song "On a Journey" by Elektrik Funk (the line "I sing the funk electric"). At last minute, it was dropped and replaced by "Let's turn this thing electric".
The song contains many similarities, including the same spoken-word phrase "Do it again," to the 1998 dance track called "Do It Again" by DJ duo Razor & Guido.
