Get It On
Written: 1971
Writers: David Jenneson, Alan Hovden
Status: Recorded but unpublished
Genre and Style: Rock dance song with great hooky riffs.
Comments: Dave: I wrote Get It On at 2 AM one night after a gig when I couldn’t sleep. It reflects the profound emptiness one can feel after a night of performing in front of a wild crowd when suddenly the club is empty and you have nowhere to go. Although it bears a message of recrimination toward the mindlessly partying audience they never picked up on it and it became a mainstay of the Burner stage list.
Comments: Al: The song the band hated but the crowd loved… go figure.
Box full of faces
Just look at the crowd
Fill in the spaces
With the powdery cloud
And pity the hands tries to grab the good times when they’re gone.
Get it on!
Get it on!
Pay for the package
It’s a buck at the door
Down in the back
You can fuck on the floor
Yes you are the ones to whom I dedicate this song
Get it on!
Get it on!
I felt so tired all my frenzy was gone
Then someone in the back yelled
Hey man, GET IT ON!
Street full of midnight
And a face of regret
Something don’t feel right
But I can’t see it yet
Then I looked up and I saw all the people were gone
Get it on!
Get it on!
Eardrums are bursting
As I lay on my bed
Body is thirsting
Because he ain’t been fed
You gave me your heart but it turned out to be just a con
Get it on!
Get it on!
I felt so tired all my frenzy was gone
Then someone in the back yelled
Hey man – GET IT ON!
