Would You Like Some Cheese With That?-"Do That To Me One More Time" by The Captain & Tennille

I like a good piece of radio cheese as much as the next guy. I found "Love Will Keep Us Together" to be a prime example of good cheese. Written by certified platinum Brill Building tunesmith's Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, and originally recorded by Neil himself, the song broke big in 1975 hitting number one on just about every chart in the world, including Billboards. Though my rock-n-roll loving buds dissed it, I proclaimed my like for this song, finding it to be bouncily tuneful. I liked Neil's mid 70s comeback tunes too like "Bad Blood" which was to Neil what "Whatever Get You Through The Night" was to John Lennon, a good tune no less helped by it's connection to the Elton John Platinum Hit Machine. Bonus points for the fact that the Captain had played keyboards with the mid 70's Beach Boys.

Five years later, down on their luck and signed to Casablanca, Toni Tennille plays this demo to label head Neil Bogert who proclaims "It's a HIT BABY!" Sometimes life is stranger than art. The song is recorded giving The Captain and Tennille their second and final number one hit, launching Toni Tennille into a solo career that was pretty much roundly and soundly ignored. This tune made LWKUT sound like "Jumping Jack Flash" making many listeners wish the group were called "A Chainsaw Wielding Maniac and Tennille." Further releases flopped and the chart run of the Captain and Tennille was over. Further Toni Tennille Trivia. She sang on the backing tracks of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album along with Beach Boy Bruce Johnston ("The Show Must Go On").
