Get Out of My Way! is the first extended play[1] by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper.[2] It was released in 1986 as a vinyl mini-album and cassette on Restless Records. The songs were added to the CD release of the album Frenzy in 1987. "Stuffin' Martha's Muffin" is the same recording as on Frenzy, but a different mix, which most notably filters Nixon's voice during part of the opening monologue to sound like he is on a telephone line; this version replaces the original on the Frenzy CD. "Transylvanian Xmas" is "Joy to the World" performed by Roper on harmonica in a scale reminiscent of horror movie scores, backed by Nixon on bongos. "Jesus at McDonalds" is a re-recording of the song from their first album, Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper.
