"Get Down" is a song by Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan, from his 1973 album I'm a Writer, Not a Fighter. Released as a single, it spent two weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart in April 1973, was also a number-one hit in Ireland for three weeks and was a top-ten hit in the United States and Canada. The song was originally used by O'Sullivan as a piano warm-up tune, but was eventually extended into a full song and released as a single; O'Sullivan recorded and released the song as a change from his more melancholy pieces.

Believed to be an order from O'Sullivan to his dog ("Get Down!"), the singer is actually referring to a girl in the song behaving as a dog jumping on him, hence the request to "get down".

Mark Foote: @abbygail25 Hi Miss Gail. Its nice to find you here . Its got to be warmer in your neck of the woods compared to here. It was almost too cold to snow here. Hope every bodies roads clear up down there. We're use to driving on it all the time . A cute song if you look at it like an owner not recognizing his dog is trying to tell him to take him outside so they can do their duty!!! No wonder the poor dog kept jumping. :).. Nite now. ~Mark~
