"Get Up Offa That Thing" is a song written and performed by James Brown. It was released in 1976 as a two-part single (the B-side, titled "Release the Pressure", is a continuation of the same song). It reached #4 on the R&B chart, briefly returning Brown to the Top Ten after a year's absence, and #45 on the Billboard Hot 100. Thanks to its chart success, the song became Brown's biggest hit of the late 1970s. The song's lyrics urge listeners to "Get up offa that thing / and dance 'til you feel better." Due to his troubles with the IRS for failure to pay back taxes, Brown credited authorship of the song to his wife Deidre and their daughters, Deanna and Yamma Brown.

  • Get Up Offa That Thing è un brano musicale funk eseguito da James Brown. Venne pubblicato in due parti su singolo (la B-side, intitolata Release the Pressure, è la continuazione della stessa canzone) dalla Polydor Records nel maggio 1976. Negli Stati Uniti il singolo raggiunse la quarta posizione nella classifica R&B e la numero 45 nella Billboard Hot 100. Grazie al riscontro avuto, la canzone divenne il maggiore successo di Brown in classifica della fine degli anni settanta. Il testo del brano esorta gli ascoltatori: «Get up offa that thing / and dance 'til you feel better». A causa dei suoi problemi con il fisco, James Brown accreditò i diritti d'autore del pezzo a sua moglie Deidre e alle loro figlie Deanna e Yamma Brown. (it)
  • "Get Up Offa That Thing" é uma canção escrita e gravada por James Brown. Foi lançada como single de duas partes em 1976 (O Lado-B, com o título "Release the Pressure", é uma continuação da mesma canção). Alcançou o número 4 da parada R&B, colocando Brown novamente no Top Ten após um ano de ausência, e número 45 da parada Billboard Hot 100. Foi o maior sucesso de Brown do final dos anos 1970. A letra da canção pede aos ouvintes para "Get up offa that thing / and dance 'til you feel better" (Levantar desta coisa e dançar até se sentir melhor) Devido aos seus problemas com a IRS (receita federal americana) em pagar seus impostos, Brown creditou a composição à sua esposa Diedre e suas filhas, Deanna e Yamma Brown.
