Do It Again
The Chemical Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, do it again
I may say no, no, no but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take the kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it, come and get it

Ohh, no one is near
I may cry oh, oh, oh but no one can hear
Mama may scold me cause she told me it was naughty
But then, please do it again, just do it again

Come and get it, ohh
Turn out the light and hold me close
Close in your arms all through the night




Mama may scold me cause she told me it was naughty
But then, please do it again, just do it again

Item #: SCP-6742
Object Class: Safe
Containment Procedures: Object should be placed in a 3x3 meter containment unit, with sound proof modifications.

Item Description: SCP-6742-A is a 50x25x20 centimeter Boom Box. The model has not been identified, and it is believed to be a unique model that was not mass produced. It is capable of producing sounds up to 80 Decibels and as low as 35. It accepts standard cassettes of various models.

SCP-6742-B is a cassette storing the song “Do It Again” by The Chemical Brothers. It has a sticker with The Chemical Brothers logo attached to the front of the cassette.

When SCP-6742-B is placed inside SCP-6742-A and the play button is pressed, it will begin playing “Do It Again.” Any personnel within range to hear the song will begin feeling the urge to move their body in various ways to the beat. The strength of the urge and the extremity of the movements are directly proportional to the volume of the music. Personnel able to hear it faintly at 30 decibels have been observed to do small fidgeting movements such as tapping their feet and bobbing their heads. Personnel close to SCP-6742-A while it is at its maximum volume have been observed to have full body twitches, often random and sporadic. At this point, personnel are entirely unable to control or resist the twitches. However, it has been shown that prolonged exposure to SCP-6742 can reduce the anomalous effects on the subject listening to it.

Item was recovered from [REDACTED] after there were reports from the area of two personnel used SCP-6742 to steal approximately [REDACTED] from a local bank. The bank workers were unable to stop the robbery due to the anomalous effects of the object. The two personnel committing the robbery were able to resist the effects enough to perform basic actions because of prolonged exposure. Object was retrieved by an MTF crew on [REDACTED] and placed into containment 4 days later.
