Do It Again - Steely Dan - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Steely Dan released "Do It Again" in November 1972 as the lead single from their debut album Can't Buy a Thrill, written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen and produced by Gary Katz. The track climbed to number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Canada’s RPM chart in early 1973, also reaching number 10 in the Netherlands and number 39 in the UK. Musically, "Do It Again" blends soft rock, funk, Latin jazz, and jazz-rock elements, anchored by a hypnotic electric sitar riff, syncopated drum groove, and pitch‑bending organ solo—typical of Steely Dan’s eclectic early sound. Lyrically, the song reflects on compulsive behavior and self‑destructive patterns, wrapped in ironic storytelling and cool musical understatement. Donald Fagen’s laid‑back vocals deliver the narrative with sly detachment, while the instrumental solos sharpen the song’s moody, introspective vibe. With tight production and complex arrangements, "Do It Again" established Steely Dan’s reputation as studio‑savvy innovators in the early 1970s rock scene.
