Do That to Me One More Time by Captain & Tennille

About

After feeling shunned by A&M Records, who began moving away from artists like Captain & Tennille and The Carpenters and signing new wave acts, the disco label Casablanca took interest in the duo. After presenting a number of their latest songs to people at the label, Tennille ended the meeting by performing a ‘kind of nice’ song that the label president Neil Bogart immediately declared ‘a smash’ and insisted it be their first single for Casablanca. That song was “Do That To Me One More Time”. It was internationally successful and reached the top of the Hot 100 in early 1980, becoming their second and final US chart topper. Their next two singles fell short of the top 40 and the duo would never see the Hot 100 after them. Bogart passed in 1984 and the duo left the label soon afterwards. In 2001, a Sprint PCS commercial showed the duo performing the song on a football field after a coach’s assistant misheard “The coach wants a backup for O'Neil” as “The coach wants The Captain and Tennille.”
