Original

"Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)" is a song written by Cole Porter in 1928 and first performed in the musical "Paris" in the same year.

Cover

Greg Graffin recorded a cover version with Joan Jett for the soundtrack of the 1995 movie "Tank Girl" [1] Thommy Price and Tony "Bruno" Rey, both from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, played drums and bass, respectively. However, Atlantic Records didn't approve of using the track with Greg singing, so for the movie version of the song, he was replaced by Paul Westerberg from the Replacements.[2]

Only in 2000, the "original" version with Graffin and Joan Jett was finally released, on the compilation record "Laguna Tunes".
