"Do It Again Medley with Billie Jean" is a song by the Italian music project Club House, released in 1983. The song combines elements of two hits made famous by other artists: "Do It Again", a 1973 top-ten hit by Steely Dan and Michael Jackson's number-one song from earlier in the year, "Billie Jean".

Songwriting credit on the track is given to Jackson as well as the primary members of Steely Dan, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.

The song reached the Billboard Hot 100 at number 75, but was a much bigger hit in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK, where it peaked at 6, 7, 10 and 11 on their local charts, respectively.
