Gett Off

"Gett Off" is a song written and produced by American musician Prince, released in June 1991 by Paisley Park and Warner Bros. as the lead single from his thirteenth album, Diamonds and Pearls (1991).

The song was renamed "Gett Off", which was very similar to a B-side/remix called "Get Off" from the maxi single release of "New Power Generation", also from Graffiti Bridge.

The new track features vocal contributions from Rosie Gaines and Tony M.,[citation needed] and flute by long-time Prince associate Eric Leeds.

Prince delivered the song exclusively to nightclubs on his 33rd birthday on a now valuable 12-inch single featuring the otherwise unavailable "Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Minutes Mix)" remix.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "this delicious sleaze-speed funk dish cuts deep with an intense bass line, vocal shrieks, and racy lyrics.

[citation needed] Mike Diver for the BBC felt in his 2010 review, that it's "more explicit" and "borrows a line or two from James Brown but is undeniably Prince through and through".

[18] Another The Guardian editor, Alexis Petridis, stated, "From its opening scream to its ferocious concluding guitar solo, Gett Off is prime-quality Prince: funny, lubricious, preposterously funky, every bit the equal of his best work.

"[19] Patrick Corcoran of Albumism felt that the song's "exhortation to "23 positions in a one night stand" was a lightning conduit for rampant male sexuality, unfettered by the playful androgyny of the past.
