Do Ya, Do Ya Wanna Job

Yep, it's another one.

The Electric Light Orchestra song ”Do Ya” is the second track on their “A New World Record” album, released in 1976. It became a minor chart hit in 1977, peaking at #24. The band started in 1971 and had a string of hits from ’76 through the early 80s.

The band officially disbanded in 1986 and leader Jeff Lynne went on to produce and write for the likes of Tom Petty, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. Lynne, Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan formed the Traveling Wilburies in the late 80s. ELO went through more transformations without Lynne and was eventually reformed with Lynne in 2001.

This year, contemporary act Pussycat Dolls sampled ELO’s “Evil Woman” in their single “Beep.”

But “Do Ya” probably gets more media airplay these days as the soundtrack of the Monster Jobs web site TV ad.
