"Why Don't You Do Right?" (originally recorded as "Weed Smoker's Dream" in 1936) is an American blues and jazz-influenced pop song usually credited to Kansas Joe McCoy. A minor key twelve-bar blues with a few chord substitutions, it is considered a classic "woman's blues" song and has become a standard. Singer Lil Green recorded a popular rendition in 1941, which Peggy Lee recorded the next year — accompanied by Benny Goodman — and made one of her signature songs.

  • Why Don’t You Do Right? ist ein Blues aus dem Jahr 1941, der 1943 in der Swing-Version von Peggy Lee und dem Orchester von Benny Goodman populär wurde. Er basiert auf dem bereits 1936 entstandenen Titel Weed Smoker’s Dream. Als Urheber wird zumeist Joe McCoy angegeben. Die Anzahl der eingespielten Coverversionen liegt zwischenzeitlich im dreistelligen Bereich. Bekanntere Remakes sind die Verwendung im Rahmen des Zeichentrick/Realfilm-Mixes Falsches Spiel mit Roger Rabbit (1988) und ein Sample des serbischen DJs Gramophonedzie aus dem Jahr 2010. (de)
