"(I Don't Know Why) But I Do" is an R&B song written past Paul Gayten and Bobby Charles (as Robert Guidry), and performed by Clarence "Frogman" Henry.

Original version [edit]

It was Henry's biggest U.S. hit, reaching No. four in early on 1961. The B-side on the single release was "Simply My Baby and Me".

On its initial release in Dec 1960, the U.S. release on the Argo record label was titled "I Don't Know Why". All the same, about ten weeks later, Argo announced that due to confusion arising from the song being mistaken for the 1931 song called "I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)", they inverse the proper noun of this song to "Just I Practice".^[1] The United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland release on the Pye label and the Australian release on the Coronet label were both titled "Merely I Do". The UK version spent xix weeks in the charts and peaked at No. 3 in the first week of May 1961.^[2]

The song was made pop once again after its use in a 1993 U.k. goggle box commercial for the Fiat Cinquecento,^[3] appearances in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, the 1999 film Mickey Blue Eyes, and a 2019 commercial for Expedia and its ability to provide dog-friendly hotel accommodations.^[4]
