"Do It Again Medley with Billie Jean" was the title of a song by the Detroit-based dance music band Slingshot, released in 1983. The song combines elements of two pop hits made famous by other artists: "Do It Again", a 1973 top-ten hit by Steely Dan and Michael Jackson's number-one song from earlier in the year, "Billie Jean".
Songwriting credit on the track is given to Jackson as well as the primary members of Steely Dan, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. The medley was Slingshot's only song to reach the Billboard charts in the U.S., where it spent one week at number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in August 1983.
The Slingshot track was a cover of the original version of the medley, by Italo-disco studio project Clubhouse, in the same year. That version reached Billboard Hot 100 at number 75.
Famous quotes containing the word medley:
“Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
