"Do It Again" is a song composed by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, performed by American rock grouping Steely Dan, which was released as a single from their 1972 debut album Can't Buy a Thrill. The single version differed from the anthology version, shortening the intro and outro and omitting the organ solo.

Released in 1972, the vocal debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on Nov 18, 1972, and reached number 6 on the US charts in 1973, making it Steely Dan's second highest-charting single.[iii]

Song [edit]

"Do It Again" features an electrical sitar solo by Denny Dias. The "plastic organ" solo by Donald Fagen was performed on a Yamaha YC-thirty with a sliding pitch-bending control.[4]

David Palmer fronted the band during their alive show, and sang "Do It Again" when the group played The Midnight Special in Feb 1973. Donald Fagen sang the vocal on the anthology version.[v]

Cash Box described it as a "fine commercial effort with enough of potential as a hit record," going on to say that information technology "is highlighted by some fine vocal harmony and superb arrangement."[vi]
