"'''Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me)'''" is a song by British singer [[Samantha Fox]], released as the second single from her debut album, ''[[Touch Me (Samantha Fox album)|Touch Me]]'' (1986). The song was her second consecutive number one in Sweden, supplanting "[[Touch Me (I Want Your Body)]]". It was also a top ten hit in the UK, Switzerland, and Germany. The lyrics taunt the listener with lines such as "Are you strong enough?" and "I could get you underneath my thumb". Fox performed the song on a 1986 episode of ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', and to this day remains a recurring feature of her live repertoire.<ref>{{cite web|author=  |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4PMXJ8azJg  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211220/Q4PMXJ8azJg |archive-date=2021-12-20 |url-status=live|title=HQ - Samantha Fox - Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me) - TOTP 1986 |publisher=YouTube |date=2008-06-08 |accessdate=2011-08-08}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
