Get It | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Get It’ is the ninth song on Tug Of War, Paul McCartney’s third solo album.

It was a duet with Carl Perkins, a key influence on the early Beatles. In the 1960s they recorded his songs ‘Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby’, ‘Honey Don’t’, ‘Matchbox’, ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, and ‘Sure To Fall (In Love With You)’. See more…

We were in the studio and he came down and said, ‘My, it’s real pretty round here, Paul.’ He went to bed, got up the next morning and he obviously hadn’t seen the island. So he came back later that day and said, ‘Paul, believe me. This morning, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I woke up. It’s so pretty here and so beautiful.’ So while he was there, I wrote the track ‘Get It’. We had a bit of fun recording it. I can always see Laurel & Hardy dancing to this track.
