"Cut It Out" is a song by the Australian alternative band The Go-Betweens that was released as the second single their fifth studio album Tallulah.
"[3] Ian Cranna in his review of the song in Smash Hits states "surprise galore with a most un-folky laboured guitar and drum machine "riff", great backing vocalists and swirling organ followed by a contrasting heavenly girlie chorus.
"[5] Jason McNeil in Popmatters believes that the song "follows a different path, yet the chorus is pure gold, drawing the listener in again.
"[7] In his review of Tallulah, at Allmusic, Thom Jurek describes "the nearly funky organ and bass swirl of "Cut It Out," is unlike any Go-Betweens song before or since.
He goes on to state "It is disjointed, mechanical, and trite, and while in some cases such attributes can combine to make winning pop music, 'Cut It Out' is just a slender tune battered to death by studio effects.
