Gett Off: How many official versions of this song are there?

and how were they released?

I've got the 12" with Extended Remix, Housestyle, Violet the Organ Grinder, Flutestamental, Gangster Glam & Clockin' The Jizz. But are there any more?

I'm sure there's more, something sounding like Pump-mix or something? anyone with any info?

Usually I'd check this stuff on the NPGMC discogrpahy but it's gone for now.

I take it you haven't heard the RollerBlade remix of Gett Off?

So The Extended Remix is exactly the same as Purple Pump mix right? and Flutestrumental the same as Thrust dub etc?

Yes,
they were just 'called' different things in different
countries, and on different promos.

What version of "Gett Off" was issued to DJ's first in a very limited edition in a white cover with Prince's scribble in purple texta on the front and back (to which when officially released, the background colour was changed to yellow)?

I heard that version on 2JJJ radio in Australia once. From memory the lyrics were slightly changed (for example Tony M says "22" or "21 positions in a one night stand")

there was also a gett off on the new power generation funky weapon single..

what can a brother do when the clock keeps tickin u off,
turn the other cheek or kick the nut till he cough,
gett off.

on a positive tip, i'm quick with a whip,
i don't have to spank u coz this is my ship
gett off,

i will still be hip when the words from your lip,
take a dip in the ratings,
i'll be strippin your mercedes,
your lubricated lady, takin her for a walk,
taking her for a walk,

chorus..

once i give her back to ya
she won't ever wanna do ya
cos i read her book, i taught her how to look
she showed me the money u gave her, i took,
i even ate her "cookin" that's mo than u did

chorus,


that is about it for the song, really funky 1990 music behind it, has a lengthy instrumental, then goes into loveleft/loveright another quiky song about a 3 some..

if u haven't heard it, u need to hear it, if u have..
