Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)

"Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)" is a popular song by funk group B. T. Express, written by songwriter Billy Nichols.

Background
Released from the debut album of the same title, the song became a great "crossover" success. The song is noted for its hand claps at the beginning, as well as the spoken portion in the middle of the song. The short version was less than 3 minutes, while the long version is over 5 minutes in length. This song was considered suggestive of sexual intercourse, especially for the repeated lines in the coda section: "I'm Satisfied".

Chart performance
The single went #1 to the R&B singles chart for a week during the autumn of 1974 and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for two weeks. ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night" by John Lennon and "I Can Help" by Billy Swan kept the song from the #1 spot). "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)" was an early disco hit peaking at number eight on the disco/dance charts.
