Many of Captain & Tennille's hits, including their other chart-topper "Love Will Keep Us Together," were written by the team of Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka. "Do That to Me One More Time," however, was written by Toni Tennille. She also wrote the duo's sexually charged 1974 hit "The Way I Want To Touch You."
Daryl Dragon (The Captain) and Toni Tennille were such a wholesome couple that they had their own variety show on ABC from 1976-1977. In this song, however, Tennille is clearly singing about foreplay, although ambiguously enough to keep the censors at bay. The song was a huge hit, reaching #1 US in February 1980. The following year, another wholesome singer took a lascivious turn when Olivia Newton-John went to #1 with "Physical."
Captain & Tennille left their longtime label A&M and signed with Casablanca for the Make Your Move album. Toni Tennille didn't think much of this song when she wrote it, but when she played it for Casablanca head Neil Bogart, he heard the hit potential right away and insisted that they record it.
