Let’s do It (Let’s Fall In Love) (feat. Tony Bennett)

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's rendition of 'Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall In Love)' is a charming and whimsical celebration of love's universality. Originally written by Cole Porter in 1928, the song uses playful and imaginative metaphors to illustrate how love is a natural and inevitable part of life. The lyrics begin with vivid imagery of nature—bluebirds singing, bluebells ringing, and even a blue clerk humming a tune to the moon. These elements symbolize the awakening of love and the idea that falling in love is as natural as the changing of seasons.

The song then expands its scope, humorously noting that love is not confined to humans alone. Birds, bees, and even 'educated fleas' are all caught in the throes of love. This anthropomorphism serves to emphasize that love is a universal experience, transcending species and cultures. The lyrics also take a global tour, mentioning how people from Spain, Lithuania, Amsterdam, and even Siamese twins in Siam all fall in love. This global perspective underscores the idea that love is a common thread that binds humanity together, regardless of geographical or cultural differences.

The playful tone continues with references to electric eels and goldfish, adding a layer of humor and light-heartedness to the song. The mention of 'shad roe' and 'English soles' in shallow shoals further enriches the song's tapestry of love metaphors. Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's duet brings a modern yet timeless feel to this classic, reminding listeners that love is an enduring and universal force. Their vocal chemistry and the song's lively arrangement make it a delightful listen, capturing the essence of love's spontaneity and joy.
