  • What Have I Done to Deserve This? is the nineteenth episode of the second season and the 28th overall episode of Grey's Anatomy.
  • "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, featuring singer Dusty Springfield. When released as a single in late 1987, it peaked at #2 in the UK charts and also at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the fourth Top Ten hit for Pet Shop Boys as well as the biggest hit of Springfield's career in the U.S. It was kept from the top spot by "Seasons Change" by Expose and "Father Figure" by George Michael on that chart. The single made it to #1 on the Irish singles chart, where it was Pet Shop Boys' second #1 hit in the space of just six weeks.
  • This song was co-written with Allee Willis in 1985, and was originally intended for the 'Please' album. Her writing and co-writing credits include the Pointer Sisters' 'Neutron Dance', Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland", and more recently, the theme from 'Friends'. At the time of writing, the Boys had wanted to do a duet with Dusty Springfield (who had been in reclusion from show business for some time)), but after approaching her, they heard nothing, and the song was postponed. While recording 'Actually', they caught word that she wanted to do it. The song and single release led to a ressurection of her career and a 1989 album that the Pet Shop Boys themselves produced.

  • "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, featuring singer Dusty Springfield. When released as a single in late 1987, it peaked at #2 in the UK charts and also at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the fourth Top Ten hit for Pet Shop Boys as well as the biggest hit of Springfield's career in the U.S. It was kept from the top spot by "Seasons Change" by Expose and "Father Figure" by George Michael on that chart. The single made it to #1 on the Irish singles chart, where it was Pet Shop Boys' second #1 hit in the space of just six weeks. The song's success helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield performed the song for the 1988 BRIT Awards. Following the duet the Pet Shop Boys wrote and produced the singles "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private" for Springfield, both included on her 1990 album Reputation. The music video was filmed in a music hall, featuring a female chorus line and male members of the pit orchestra. It made significant use of the theater drapes and stage curtains for dramatic effect. The song has been covered by Jason Prince. At the 2009 BRIT Awards where the duo were due to receive an Outstanding Contribution to Music award, Pet Shop Boys performed the song with American singer Lady Gaga.

The single was released as the second one from 'Actually', but prior to the album's release. In North America, it was often coupled with the single for 'Rent'. Julian Mendelsohn and the band produced the extended version, and Shep Pettibone did several remixes as well. The b-side for the single was 'A New Life'.
