Lyrics
Get up and move your body
To the groove again
Get up and close to somebody
And shake it all off again
Get up and move to the rhythm
Toss yourself about
Tonight, it’s our only ambition
To get up and get it all out
Passion within
Skin right on skin
Closer we spin
Almost sin
Dance all around
Spin round and round
Get up get down
High on sound
Get up and shake it lady
Show me how you burn
Get down tonight with me baby
You know how much I yearn
Get up, get down to the music
Let me draw you close
Go paint my lips with your lipstick
Tonight, we’re cutting loose
Passion within
Skin right on skin
Closer we spin
Almost sinful
Dance all around
Spin round and round
Get up, get down
High on sound
Get up and move your body
To the groove again
Get up and close to my body
And shake it all off again
Get up and move your body
Toss yourself about
Tonight, it’s your only ambition
To get up and get it all out
Passion with in
Skin right on skin
Closer we spin
Almost sin
Dance all around
Spin round and round
Get up, get down
High on sound
Get up and shake it lady
Show me how you burn
Get down tonight with me baby
You know how much I yearn
Get up, get down to the music
Toss yourself about
Go paint my cheeks with your lipstick
So, get up and get it all out
Toby Berka’s Electric Ode to the Dancefloor
Toby Berka’s “Get Up and Get Down” is a pulsing, sweat-slicked celebration of rhythm, motion, and nightlife abandon. With lyrics that double as commands, the track immerses its listener in a world of club lights, tangled limbs, and burning desire.
Berka wastes no time in laying out the track’s goal: movement, connection, and release. The repeated phrase “Get up and move your body” is both literal and metaphoric—a summons to shed inhibition. The language is highly physical and tactile—“skin right on skin,” “closer we spin”—giving the song a sultry, near-carnal energy that never crosses into vulgarity.
Yet for all its fire, “Get Up and Get Down” remains stylistically grounded. The lyrics are simple, even predictable at times, but they serve their purpose well: this is not introspective poetry, but a soundtrack to letting go. Its minor flaws—occasional repetitive lines and lack of depth—are easy to overlook in the heat of its infectious beat.
In this track, Toby Berka shifts gears from the introspective ballads of Tainted Euphoria to deliver a high-energy, funk-infused anthem that’s impossible to sit still through. It’s a track that pulses with retro charm and modern production, inviting listeners to let go, move their bodies, and embrace the moment.
From the first beat, the song radiates groove. A tight bassline, crisp percussion, and rhythmic synths lay the foundation for a track that feels like a love letter to disco and funk, filtered through a 21st-century lens. Berka’s vocals are playful and commanding, especially in the chorus, where the repeated line “Get up and get down” becomes a rallying cry for release and rhythm.
The production is sleek and confident. Every element—from the syncopated claps to the layered vocal effects—is designed to maximize movement and energy. While the lyrics are minimal, they serve their purpose: this isn’t a song about storytelling—it’s about feeling.
“Get Up and Get Down” is a celebration of sound, rhythm, and the joy of letting go. Whether on a dancefloor, at home, or on the go, it delivers exactly what its title promises. At its best, the song acts like a good night out: wild, rhythmic, sweaty, and fleetingly unforgettable. For fans of high-octane dance pop or club-ready anthems, Berka’s track is an invitation to stop thinking and start moving.
