"Get It On" is a single by Norwegian band Turbonegro from their 1998 album Apocalypse Dudes, released on 7" vinyl in 1998 by Sympathy for the Record Industry.

Picture Disc has Euroboy proudly displaying an enlarged, dildo-like zucchini while Rune poses with it on the flipside. As Happy-Tom remarks: "The whole deal with the War Against The Picture Single series was to release the ugliest, most redundant (no 'previously unreleased' marketing schemes here), lamest picture discs ever. And so far we've succeeded." A further one was supposed on Flapping Jet from San Diego but Turbonegro called it quits before the deal was settled.^[1]

"That 'Clean American Version' - text on the picture disc is Long Gone John's little trip, it's a reference to The Mothers of Invention." - Happy-Tom interview by Tony Slug.^[2]

The song was also released in July 2003 with "Rock Against Ass" as the B-side on Must Destroy Records from London as a collectors item. Limited to 1,000 copies on black vinyl.

The music video for "Get It On" was directed by the Norwegian artist Crispin Gurholt.

The main guitar riff of the song is copied from the song "Next Big Thing" from Go Girl Crazy!, the 1975 debut album of The Dictators.^[3]
