"Doing it Wrong" by Drake (feat. Stevie Wonder) (2011)
Dad's Song of the Day #250, May 5, 2026
Toronto Tuesday!
Okay, Angus, you can get off the floor now.
Yes. This is actually a Drake song on DSOTD…But only because 1. Can’t do Toronto Tuesdays without at least acknowledging Drake, 2. We’re in Stevie Wonder Week, and Stevie guests with a lovely harmonica solo, and 3. It’s actually quite a beautiful song.
As you two know, my knowledge and appreciation of Drake could barely fill a thimble, but I really respect these lyrics:
When a good thing goes bad, it’s not the end of the world
It’s just the end of a world that you had with one girl
And she’s the reason it happened, but she’s also the reason you can get through it...
Good, wise approach to life’s inevitable twists and turns.

This series is for my two 19-year-olds, who moved off to school with the misguided belief they’d escaped their dad’s relentless nostalgia and monopolization of the car stereo. I’m very happy for anyone else to come along for the ride.
