Black Fire –Do It/Little Bit ‘A Music – Lark 9508 (1975 NL)
Do It ( no relation to The Pink Fairies) is another fine example of crunching Dutch Glam. The song is based on a Rockabilly back beat but is firmly planted in stomping mode with its dead solid drum pattern and handclaps. Built around the chanted hook and with vocals that are just the right side of gruff, Do It is a rip-roaring call to arms: Stand up for your rights -fight fight fight… Little Bit ‘A Music is a good thumper, but doesn’t quite have the edge of the A side
Black Fire were a Frisian band from Sint-Annaparochie!!!! They released a first single My Girl/ Rock N Roll Is Here To Stay (1974) under the name Stand-By prior to signing to Inlelco/Lark. Do It garnered a couple of plays on national radio but not much else.
Thanks to Jos for the background info.

Very Mancunian. The 'fight fight fight' especially reminds me of vintage Slaughter & The Dogs. Some serious resemblance - like Slaughter playing behind Duane Eddy or something. Hot hot hot obviously!
Do It Dog Style, eh ?
