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

Released in 1972, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 18, 1972, and reached number 6 on the US charts in 1973, making it Steely Dan's second highest-charting single.[3]

Song [edit]

"Do It Again" features an electric sitar solo past Denny Dias. The "plastic organ" solo by Donald Fagen was performed on a Yamaha YC-30 with a sliding pitch-angle control.[four]

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 album version.[five]

Cash Box described it as a "fine commercial endeavour with plenty of potential as a hit record," going on to say that it "is highlighted by some fine vocal harmony and superb arrangement."[half-dozen]
