Gett Off - the title

I've been wondering for some time why the song "Gett Off" is spelled with double "t". My guess is that it was to be distinguished from "Get Off" from "New Power Generation" single. However, this is a guess and I would like to know what your ideas might be.

Same reason "Tamborine" is spelled without a U. There is no reason....

I believe there's a video out "Get Off" but I'm not sure how many videos R on there or what they R. BTW, if anyone out there has a copy of it I'd love 2 get it..... trade anyone???

I always suspected it was a way for him to register for copyrights/publishing, etc. and distinguish it from "Get Off."

There is also a song titled Get Off by a group called Foxxy. Any other "old timers" remember this one? I actually think it is funkier than Prince's song (Oops! Was that my out-loud voice?!) redface
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.
