Tonight’s mystery artists had a hit tune which made it up to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. After its success it has been covered by a number of different bands in different ways but the most interesting in my mind was a mashup of the song with Michaels Jackson’s Billie Jean done by a group called Clubhouse. Can you guess the song that got mashed??

The lyrics of the mashed tune tell the story of a man who is addicted to nightlife including sex and gambling. The narrator describes the realities of the man's addictions and the consequences of his actions, but emphasizes that he goes "back, Jack, do it again," Making our mashed tune Steely Dan’s ‘Do It Again’. A very covered tune ‘Do It Again’ has been recorded by: (To mention only a few)

  • The R&B songwriter and soul singer Charles Mann,
  • A Brazilian jazz-funk instrumentalist called Eumir Deodato
  • Waylon Jennings
  • The Italian Dance act Club House mashed with Billie Jean In 1983,
  • The same mash was also done by Slingshot and by Brooklyn Express, a disco group from New York.
  • Austrian pop star Falco
  • Tom Jones covered it in The Art of Noise n 1988.
  • Smash Mouth covered the song in 2000 for the Jim Carey film Me Myself and Irene.
  • I could go on and on…suffice to say the song has been covered by a host of others as well from all across the globe

Here is tonight's featured song:
