They are different songs. 'Get Off' is more of a funk/rock song much like 'NPG'...I have not heard the song in a long time but if I recall..it was a bit of a remix of 'NPG'...kinda like 'Violet the Organ Grinder' to 'Gett Off'...someone correct me..but I remember it being similar to 'NPG'

nod It is very similar to NPG, just different lyrics

Get Off

New Power
Lay down your funky...
Get off!

Get off, baby

What can a brother do when the clock keeps ticking U off?
Turn the other cheek or kick a nut till he coughs, "Get off"
"Get off"

CHORUS:
On the positive tip
I'm equipped with a whip
But I don't have 2 spank U cuz this is my ship
Get off {x2}

(Get off, baby)

I will still be hip
When the words from your lip take a dip in the ratings
Then I'll be stripping your Mercedes off your Lubricated Lady
And taking her 4 a walk, taking her 4 a walk

On the positive tip
I'm equipped with a whip
I don't have 2 spank U cuz this is my ship
Get off {x4}

Ooh, is this a dream?
No - everybody get off
Is this a dream? {x2}
Get-a-get-a-get-a-get off

CHORUS

(I got the bed 4 U)
Get off (Hey, hey sugar)
Get off

(Get off) {repeat in BG}
Once I give her back 2 ya
She won't ever wanna do ya
Cuz I wrote the book
I taught her how 2 look
She showed me the money U gave her - I took
I even ate her cooking
That's more than U did

Get off {x2}

What can a brother do when the clock keeps ticking U off?
Turn the other cheek or kick a nut till he cough, "Get off" (Ooh, help me)
"Get off" (Get off)

Get off {sampled}
New Power {sampled}

Everybody get off {x2}

Is this a dream? {x2}
Get-a-get-a-get-a-get off

CHORUS

(I got the bed 4 U)
Get off (Hey, hey sugar)
Get off

What can a brother do when the clock keeps ticking U off?
Turn the other cheek or kick a nut till he cough, "Get off" (Ooh, help me)
"Get off" (Oh)

Get off {repeat and sampled}

Everything alright back there?

Get Off is a Graffiti Bridge b-side (1990) whereas Gett Off is a Diamonds & Pearls album track (1991).

What's interesting (and quite clever on Prince's part) is that there is a small snippet of Get Off music buried within Gett Off. It's the few seconds in Gett Off right before he goes "ah, ah, ah". wink
