Gett Off
"Gett Off" is the lead single by Prince and The New Power Generation from the 1991 album ''Diamonds and Pearls''.〔(Prince And The New Power Generation
* - Gett Off at Discogs )〕 The cover uses a face drawn in place of the first letter in the word ''Off'', and Prince's name written in reverse. The song was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching #4 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, "Gett Off" went to #21 on the pop chart and #6 on the R&B charts. In addition, "Gett Off" was Prince's seventh and final number one on the US dance chart, establishing him as the most successful male artist in history on the chart, tied with Michael Jackson and Enrique Iglesias.
==Development==
"Gett Off" evolved from several earlier compositions, starting with the song "Glam Slam" from 1988's ''Lovesexy''. Prince created an unreleased remix in early 1991 called "Glam Slam '91", which used the chorus of "Glam Slam", but with new music and lyrics that borrowed partially from ''Graffiti Bridges "Love Machine". Prince toyed with the song some more, adding a new chorus, and involving the newly formed New Power Generation. The song was renamed "Gett Off", which was ironically very similar to a B-side/remix called "Get Off" from the maxi single release of "New Power Generation", also from ''Graffiti Bridge''. "Gett Off" also uses a few musical segments from "Get Off". The new track features vocal contributions from Rosie Gaines and Tony M., and flute by long-time Prince associate Eric Leeds. Prince also adds a guitar solo. Prince delivered the song exclusively to nightclubs on his 33rd birthday, on a now very valuable 12" single featuring the otherwise unavailable "Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Minutes Mix)" remix. It was so well-received that Prince decided to release the song commercially as a single with the rap song "Horny Pony" as its B-side, and also as a maxi-single with several remixes, which varied from country to country. He also added it at the last minute to ''Diamonds and Pearls'', replacing "Horny Pony" (On the packaging for Diamonds and Pearls, "Horny Pony" is written in red over "Gett Off", to fit in with the narrative track listing that was already finished.) It was #97 in VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's.
