Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)
Album: Touch Me
Year: 1986
Samantha Fox demands instant sexual gratification from men in the sleazy "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)."
Over rambuncitous guitars Fox yells to a guy. It sets a hawkish tone. She forces him to tell her that he can handle her. She commands that he have sex with her right then and there.
In the chorus, she dictates that he sleep with her.
In the second verse, she tells him that she has weakened him. She says that he's not the arrogant playboy now. She says she could snap him and have him at her beck and call easily. She taunts him, saying he is in love with her and willing to do anything for her.
The chorus is sung again.
An eager electric solo follows. As it rocks out, Fox says "please, please."
In the bridge, the synths slow down and in a hushed voice, Fox says for him to satsify her. But by second lyric, the electric guitar has returned and Fox is yelling again.
The chorus is sung once to end the single.
Fox's egotism knows no bounds in the single. She also thinks she's God's gift to men. The minute she snaps her fingers, men will be competing for her attention. Her vocals are obnoxious and domineering. Her sour personality takes over the single. Her my-way-or-the-highway attitude is dull and predictable. She has something to prove, which is that she's desirable. But if she has to force a guy to sleep with her, she's as any awful man who drugs a girl's drink. Fox's willingness to buy into male chauvinism is disturbing.
The single attempts to be a dance-pop, hair band rock song. It's downright laughable. The two genres do not mix well together.
"Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)" is sinister and anti-female. It's nowhere near modern sexual liberation that Fox wants to sell.

Over rambuncitous guitars Fox yells to a guy. It sets a hawkish tone. She forces him to tell her that he can handle her. She commands that he have sex with her right then and there.
"Are you strong enough/Give me what I want/Can you please me, right now/Are you strong enough/Give me what I want/Can you please me, right now(Right now, right now)/ C'mon"So you know my name/Now you know my number/Don't the others want you any more/If you're gonna call/You'll see I'm stronger/Stronger than the girls you had before."
Male singers say "now, now, now, now, now, whoa oh" over compliant synths.
Fox introduced herself and wrote her number on a napkin. She gave it to him and bluntly asks what's wrong with him for not having a ton girls around him. She says that if he decides to take her up on her offer, he will find out that she is a sex goddess. No other girl will be able to provide such a satsifying experience for him ever again.
In the chorus, she dictates that he sleep with her.
"Well do you know how to please/Do ya, do ya wanna please me/Do ya, do ya wanna please me/Do ya, do ya wanna please/
Please me now, oh/Do ya, do ya wanna please me/Do ya, do ya wanna please me/Do ya, do ya wanna please/Please me now, oh."
In the second verse, she tells him that she has weakened him. She says that he's not the arrogant playboy now. She says she could snap him and have him at her beck and call easily. She taunts him, saying he is in love with her and willing to do anything for her.
"Tell me how it feels/Now the table's turning/I could get you underneath my thumb/Have you got a heart/Is your heart burning/Tell me is it pounding like a drum."
The chorus is sung again.
An eager electric solo follows. As it rocks out, Fox says "please, please."
In the bridge, the synths slow down and in a hushed voice, Fox says for him to satsify her. But by second lyric, the electric guitar has returned and Fox is yelling again.
"Give me what I want, give me what I need/Give me what I want, give me what I need/Give me what I want, give me what I need/Give me what I want, give me what I need."
