"Get Down" is a song by Gilbert O'Sullivan, from his 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, and was also a number-one hit in Ireland and a top-ten hit in the United States and Canada. The song has nothing to do with dancing. It is an order from O'Sullivan to his dog.
[edit] Maison Ikkoku
This song, along with O'Sullivan's other song, "Alone Again (Naturally)", were featured as the opening and ending for episode 24 of the Japanese Anime hit Maison Ikkoku. The songs were only used for this one episode due to copyright issues. Maison Ikkoku was written by Rumiko Takahashi.
