"Come On Do the Jerk" (Tamla 54109) was a 1964 song recorded by R&B group the Miracles on Motown Records' Tamla label subsidiary. It was co-written by Miracles members Pete Moore, Bobby Rogers and Smokey Robinson and drummer Donald Whited. A single-only release, it did not appear on any original Miracles studio album, and was the group's last single release of 1964.[1] Robinson and fellow Miracle Bobby Rogers were the song's producers. The flip side, "Baby Don't You Go",[2] was also a popular regional hit but was not released on CD until The 35th Anniversary Collection in 1994. Both sides of this single received new stereo mixes for the 2002 compilation Ooo Baby Baby: The Anthology.
"Come On Do the Jerk" charted at No.50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 22 on the Cash Box R&B chart.(Billboard had temporarily suspended its R&B chart at this time).
