about

Seattle groove-funk band Marmalade releases "Gotta Get Up (to get down)", an uplifting dance song coming with a whole lot of vocal soul. Put on your headphones or turn your computer speakers up to become completely enveloped by the hypnotic cadence of the horns. You will forget your worries and drop your aggression as the pulsating rhythm section drives the band to flood your mind with their organic futuristic funk reminding you of a groove that only the days of Zapp and The Time could give. These audio waves will have your body moving in all directions.

lyrics

Lyrics:
If you don't know what to do,
That's because you ain't gettin' funky for true.
You can't be just sittin' around
Listenin' to the beat of the Marmalade sound.

If you don't know where to go,
Gotta get your booty up on the floor.
Can't be just sittin' around;
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
(come on)

Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.

Get it!

If you don't know where to turn,
Listen to the beat and you're gonna learn.
You can't be just sittin' around
Dancin' to the beat of the Marmalade sound.

If you don't know where to go,
Gotta get your booty up on the floor.
Can't be just sittin' around;
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
(come on)

Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.

Get it!

Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.

To the bridge!

If you don't know what to do,
That's because you ain't gettin' funky for true.
You can't be just sittin' around
Listenin' to the beat of the Marmalade sound.

If you don't know where to go,
Gotta get your booty up on the floor.
Can't be just sittin' around;
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
(come on)

Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.

Get get it!

Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.
Ya Gotta Get Up to get down.

Here we go!

You're so funky!

Sound like we need horns, 'somethin'...

Horns, Get get get it!

What ya say?!?

Feel it!
