The song was inspired by the 1977 Eric Carmen hit "She Did It", because of the 'did-its' in the song. Carmen was touring with Hall & Oates at the time "Did It in a Minute" became a hit.[1][2] "She Did It" itself had been inspired by the 'did-its' in the Beach Boys' tune, "Do It Again"
"Did It in a Minute"peaked at number nine on the United States Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of three top ten singles from Private Eyes.
